Popular Post DeathlessVoid Posted November 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2020 I played this title years ago on PC, and it's honestly one of the best modern horror games out there! Really fun, and it has a great 80's aesthetic. Well worth the experience if you enjoy horror games, and the trophy list itself is easy (I'd rate it 1/10 personally) 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visighost Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Just finished it, and it’s indeed GREAT - especially the last episode. Highly recommended, and no excuse not to get it at the current sale price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crispy_Oglop Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I've had my eye on this for a while now, it's written by the same folks who did Observation. Which is another one I would recommend not sleeping on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamoPh Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Honestly, I'm really tired of indie devs building up an interesting supernatural / alien setting only to then reveal that oops, there was actually nothing supernatural going on, it's all in your head and usually mental health related It's not new, it's no longer novel or interesting, you didn't have something insightful to say. You were building up something good and brought it all down for a reveal that has been done to death already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hooked for the first three chapters and then the ending was such a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visighost Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 While I agree Spoiler you could totally see it coming, I loved the way it was brought forward, how every detail was tightly linked, the visual aspects, the game, etc. Those items floating around in the title sequence... It clicked for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to remember that it's not about reinventing the wheel. It's about making the story be atmospheric enough, immersive enough, and captivating enough to leave a memorable impression. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing the point completely. The game was atmospheric and immersive, until the final chapter, which proceeds to demolish the lasting impression. And since it demolishes what came before, it's expected to bring something to the table that makes it a net positive overall. Thing is, this particular type of reveal by default brings no new intrigue to the table, and as a result the only positive it can offer is a "huh, I did not expect that I guess, neat" reaction, the first time you see it, and only the first time. It's the same reason people hate the "it was all a dream" reveal. Nothing was ventured, nothing was gained, none of what drew you into the plot mattered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But don't state it as fact. My opinion is that it was good the whole way through and left a lasting impression on me for years. Not everything is meant to be enjoyed over and over and over with the sense of it feeling "brand new" again as you seem to want it to. You watch a movie once, you're going to have a reaction the first time you see it, and generally only the first time. So no, I guess I don't really get your point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 A lot simpler and shorter than Observation but I enjoyed this a lot. The people at No Code definitely know how to build a proper atmosphere in a video game. Also, the audio is really well done in this one -- definitely play with headphones if you can. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoesusHCrust Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Observation is on sale too. Should I grab that too? Is it good? It sounds like an interesting concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like sci-fi with old school esthetic, go fo it. It's a walking simulator in its core but a damn good one. The atmosphere, visuals and audio is top notch in my opinion. I would recommend to play both games in evening hours with headphones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aecesaje_ Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Saw it on sale and the title interested me, once I saw it was developed by No Code I immediately bough it. Their other game, Observation, was really good so my guess is that this one won't fall short. It's currently on sale for $2.50. At that price, it's totally worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies are in the same vein. Some leave you awed and speechless, like Lord of the Rings: Return of the King with Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen. Some leave you wholly disappointed. It's never going to be the same reactions the second or third time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizimonster Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Just discovered this game today! Even though I've never played Observation, I'm kinda interested in it since it's currently on sale for $1 on PSN. Link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was great, I think 80's kids (or fans) will enjoy and appreciate this little treat. Well made, atmospheric with creative and interesting unique chapters (not all text adventure like chapter 1 btw) with a good (but dark) ending, glad I played it! Good game great devs ?
