Loving the games coming out from this Dev -
Watch the video here:
The narrative immersion grabs you as soon as the game starts and the genuine feeling of anxiety from meeting the first tribesperson generally made me feel unsettled throughout the whole course of the game.Unfortunately on this playthrough I didn't get the secret ending, (without spoilers) was there anything in the game that would have revealed the code to the lockbox? I think I may have missed it!
Pros:
- Rich and detailed narrative - providing a sense of uneasiness and foreboding throughout the adventure.
- The mystery of the island and its inhabitants is a very talked about subject at the moment, with Cordyceps being a main theme. Has a stylised sense of Andrei Tarkovsky about it.
- Sleep Mechanic, just like in Pleonexia is a great addition to an already highly stressful situation. Great DS feel to the whole thing, with text being at the bottom and illustrative screens on top.
Cons:
- My character was named Hugh ;)
- Was there a way to find the combination of the lock box in-game? 'Digging' the Metal Gear Solid fourth wall breaking, and I may have missed it from some other clue, but on first impression felt like I'd missed something pivotal and important.
Can't wait for the next one! Also @whilegameisfalse if you would like an anthology of similarly creepy stories, DM me over at twitter @horrorable666!
