Am Horizont erscheint die Neue Welt, an deren Küste die leuchtende Stadt des Fortschritts und die letzte Hoffnung auf ein Heilmittel für die tödliche Krankheit deiner Familie liegt: New Arc. Du kommst zusammen mit tausenden anderen Immigranten an Bord eines Dampfschiffs in diesem fremden Land an und bist ein Fremder an einem seltsamen Ort voller Wunder. Aber du wirst schon bald herausfinden, dass die Stadt unter ihrer oberflächlichen Schönheit verdorben ist.

Great potential but what is this start ?
The game seems really great and the atmosphere clearly reminds Arcanum (oh I loved so much this game and its depth). I've just start in the city and it seems pretty enjoyable. Graphism are decent and animations are good. No technical issues so far. Many little things can still be improved to polish further the game (interface, click area, graphism improvements, …). Yet, even in early access there is this “I want to discover” and this "I want to come back", so that's enough for me. BUT!!! What on earth are the 2 scenes at the beginning?! First a crash not explained at all (dragon attack and I’m the one responsible but no more information, I'm not even amnesic). After few minutes and some checks (to understand some mechanisms of the game), I arrive at a finish point to take items (my items?). And then, with no link at all except a black screen, I'm in another environment in front of a judge (excuse me who are you?) reading my journal (since when I have a journal btw?) about situations I don’t even know. And I have to choose how to respond (what are the impacts of my blind choices?). Then new screen saying “several months before” and I start in the city. I'm totally lost!!! What is the link, the logic, the story? I really dislike this kind of opening in movies and it’s the same for games. From what I’ve read in others forums, people are disappointed too. I understand now. I hope the developers will change that in the release version. And they come back to something chronologically consistent. Forget the future, more future, then past (then more past and then present?). To take Arcanum as a reference, the introduction was clear: a cutscene explains the crash and then we have to unravel the story behind (and what a story!). And the game always goes forward. For the time being, I will just forget these 2 obscure and confusing scenes and pretend the adventure starts when I arrive in the city. And I cross the fingers it is changed by the devs in the release version.
Hilft dir das weiter?
