![]() ![]() The worst part of the game so far, is the "gossip chats" with the PC's friend at the end of most days, long and boring, as the PC discusses the day's events, it does provide some useful background information on the world and the place of certain people in it, but I've only sat through three of them, and clicking through the rest (don't think they're even necessary for gameplay, but you do have to turn up for them). Puzzles so far have not been great, or many, standard lock puzzles and puzzle puzzle :wink. ![]() ![]() Gameplay is standard for the investigation type play, talk to people (dialogue is fairly long, and not very interactive, gets a little tedious), pick up useful items and evidence (haven't been a lot of these) and use the computer for various functions. The protagonist so far is not as annoying as April Ryan from The Longest Journey, but far from my favourite adventure game main character. Played the first four days, so far it's neither brilliant or terrible. I'm somewhat sceptical about it, but it does show promise.Įdit: Sure you could find these for yourselves, but trailers here: Thanks Nedrah, for bringing it to my attention, probably wouldn't have discovered it myself, haven't been looking out for adventure games in a while. Anyone got any recommendations for a "serious" adventure game that they think's as good as Sanitarium? I really have neglected this genre, haven't got around to trying Fahrenheit, Still Life, Sam and Max. It does have the smell of TLJ teenage girl level of storytelling, most people praised TLJ as a great game with great story and dialogue, hope this is much better. Hard to say how much of the "massive dialogues", woah! non-linearity (second reviewer does not play this up as much, does seem more like, able to do some things in a different order), masses of detailed information, is about the reviewers being adventure game players, have to wonder whether someone who's more used to RPGs would be impressed. The reviewer certainly makes it sound good, though after reading the review I'm still not convinced, the "world" seems cliched, concerned about the main character being female (probably just residual prejudice from TLJ), the "Sims-like" activities sound great. Haven't played an adventure game since The Longest Journey, though am certainly a fan of the genre, enjoyed TLJ somewhat despite it shittiness. ![]()
