Engrossing story, some annoyances
This game was on my Gog wishlist for ages and full disclosure I finally got it for free on Epic. But I will get it on Gog for my perma library as I did enjoy it thoroughly. It starts off a bit slow, the tiny characters are hard to see and I didnt get into it at first. Given time the game really starts to take off and you become invested in the characters, or for me at least the main character. I found the others annoying as heck. You explore the scenery, looking for actionable areas and using a radio to find hidden stuff. There is conversation every step of the way, in fact, the story IS the game. You make choices in dialogues and that changes the game and endings. Its very relaxing and enjoyable. Fiddling with the radio, listening to the snippets of songs and radio plays, morse code and various other soundbits was great fun. The game gets pretty dark and creepy at times. I found the graphics nice, the painted back drops were very good. As i said before the soundscape is very engaging as well. The story is intriguing and fun to tweak. There is replay value as you want to see what happens if you change responses. The games saves automatically as you go. Lots of documentaries open at the end to see the making of which was fun. Some cons, the tiny characters are very hard to see. The reponse time for your dialogue choices is very very fast, if you blink you miss out on choice. The worst bit was the radio tuning, it takes forever to scan all the channels manually, and it resets as you leave a level so you have to reset it to the channel you want usually at the other end of the spectrum. There is no fast travel, for that reason alone i didnt finish gathering all the letters. just couldnt bother with walking all that way again. its still a very fresh, novel and fun game with a clencher at the end. well done
