Play It! Even If You Need A Walkthrough!
I'll start off by saying that puzzles aren't my strong point... and this almost put me off buying this game. Almost. But I'm a fan of classic survival horror and I'm not ashamed to say that I regularly checked a walkthrough when dealing with the game's many difficult and convoluted puzzles... but I don't regret playing it. it is a work of ART! This "run and hide" game is an innovative masterpiece of suspenseful survival horror game design which every horror fan should play at least once. It innovates in all sorts of subtle ways, such as not pausing the game when you are looking at puzzles, including a "real-time" mechanic, doing something... different... with the hiding places you can find etc... The game's psychological horror elements are stellar too! Don't ignore the in-game content warning about "Anxiety, OCD and depression" because the game WILL put you inside Emily's mind in all sorts of subtle and clever ways. For example, the theme of "Anxiety" is represented by these terrifying "public safety" leaflets you'll find, which present uncommon dangers as immediate and omnipresent threats to you. As well as solid survival horror gameplay, "Homebody" also includes a well-written (if slightly earnest at times) story which will make you care about the other characters who repeatedly fall to the slasher's blade, as well as feeling more and more existential dread as you begin to work out what is happening. The game's story is a "Love it or hate it" type of thing though, but I absolutely loved it! Despite all of the puzzles. On a practical note: You can play with either "point and click" mouse controls or direct keyboard controls (with optional 1990s-style "Tank controls" :) ). The system requirements are also massively over-stated too. The game lets you play at 640x400 if you want to and, whilst this makes some background text slightly blurry, it ran VERY well on Intel HD 2500 integrated graphics at this resolution :)
Hilft dir das weiter?
