I'll be honest, I got a little confused about what i was doing and where to go, but I think thats on account of the laptop i was playing on and my brightness. I thought the world and concept was very cool and could definitely see this as a spooky horror/thriller game.
Dude this was super cool.
I really liked exploring the mechanics and the world.
Was there anything to do after I found the second generator? I couldn't find anything else because I kept running out of juice for the lights when I tried to go down long hallways and I exhausted all the resources I had.
Thanks! Yeah as usual we just about finished the mechanics and had no time to build any sort of experience beyond 'find the second generator'. The game really does just 'end in darkness'.
I didn’t get to the end, as I got lost in one of those darker deep tunnels, was a bit confused by the way the wiring works. The experience itself was nicely paced and I was immediately drawn by the puzzle+exploration aspect of it! I never felt like I was being rushed into something, and felt that the pacing was therefore under my control.
The encroaching darkness and lighting up the lightbulbs and seeing spiders (?) gave me a visceral creepy vibe. VERY COOL. Vibes of Ultima Underworld, one of my favorite explorer games of yore though I don’t actually remember what you do in it. I remember the feeling of exploring and learning about the world, occasionally finding something new and MAYBE scary or MAYBE good? I get similar chills in just the initial playthrough. Awarding a rank of 4 across the board because this is the first game I’m rating, but it’s like a 5 in my heart :D
It took me a while to figure out what was happening with the light being solid or blinky, but WOW!
I’m very glad I made that decision at the end, brilliant finale.
