Gorgeous art, Sleeper hit of yeaer
Most people have never heard of this game. It was a very under the radar Indie Gogo crowdfunded game, created by a couple Swedes. They started with a demo and an Indie Gogo campaign a couple years ago, and have since created something far larger, more complex and deep than they had planned at the time. After playing the first chapter now, which took a few hours, I can say I think this will be a huge sleeper hit amongst PC gamers, especially the ones that like adventure games. The art style is reminiscent of Tim Burton style psuedo gothic animation movies like Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline. Dark but absolutely full of charm and character. The main character is an orphaned 10 year old girl who mysteriously winds up in a WWII era loony bin. When she takes meds, she goes to a parallel dimension where she can see all the ghosts, demons, and monsters that are influencing all the tormented people around her. This drug induced nightmare realm is full of gore and psychological horror themes as well as clues to how to progress through the 'normal' world. Her goal right away is to find her best friend, her cat Mr. Midnight, and escape from the insane asylum where she's being held against her wishes. However, there is a monster that might have been responsible for the death of her parents that also won't let her go. Every scene in the game has an alternate nightmare scene as well. There is a lot look at and interact with in each scene. The puzzles are also pretty clever most of the time, and all seem quite logical. There are inventory combine options, but they aren't over used and when they are used they make sense, and you'll probably know right away when you see the item that it probably is supposed to go along with another one you have. It just makes sense. All in all, this game is a must-have experience for adventure game fans, for those that like charming gothic art style, horror or psychological games, clever puzzles, or just want a unique game.
