"Calm down. This is all normal. Well, it’s a new normal. There was a malfunction that we can’t fix yet, but with your help I can make symptoms bearable. We’re all in the same boat here and should help each other."

"I’m Shelly, a lead scientist in General Education research facility. The job title is longer, but it’s not important. Here’s what I know so far, though."

"The experience-sharing program that we were studying went haywire. Maybe it’s that black box, maybe something else. The main symptom for you is that your nightmares and dreams no longer require sleeping to manifest. These hallucinations is all your subconscious. It turns out that given enough time with it, we go insane. But we can fix that."

The Long Reach is an adventure game filled with colorful characters, puzzles, and a shock of discovery. Wait, weren't we supposed to say “joy of discovery”? That can’t be right.

The Long Reach takes place in New Hampshire, in the fictional town of Baervox. The game draws its inspiration from Lone Survivor and The Cave and all the classical adventures (except that The Long Reach is set in the present day). You don't play in a post-apocalyptic world or explore a fairy-filled fantasy world. You’re in the thick of it, just around the corner from the place where you buy your groceries.

  • The Long Reach is a horror-thriller hell bent on screwing with your perception of things.
  • The game misuses stunning pixel art to create gruesome and unsettling images.
  • You’ll be playing as Calvin throughout the game - this is an example of the lies and deception that we have in store for you.
  • You won’t be forced to figure everything out. Escape if you wish, in fact we encourage you to run for your life!
  • Solve puzzles that require thinking outside the box. The box provided by our publisher was never used during the development.
  • You’ll be able to talk with plenty of characters. In fact, you’ll have a chance to pitch in every five lines or so.
  • A classic adventure game inventory filled with keys and weird stuff (note: no Elvish swords glowing faintly blue when evil is close in this game).
  • Original atmospheric and haunting soundtrack. The composer's not right in the head, he brought weird stuff home to use in the soundtrack. We’re all concerned for his cat.

Looks good but very short demo

There is no more than 15-20 minutes of "gameplay" in this demo. You can move your character left and right, talk to people, pick up items, interact with objects and use items from your inventory. The controls are a little bit awkward, but it´s not big of a problem. In this demo there is mostly dialogs and just a few interactions. The art looks good, and the atmosphere is really nice and dark. There is no sound for actors, just background music (which sounds nice) so you need to read all the dialogs (not saying that´s a bad thing, just pointing out). The mystery plot looks promising but its hard to decide if the gameplay is interesting on base of this demo.

Nice but short

This is quite an introduction to the game. The mystery is here and for about 20 minutes gameplay you will have a glimpse of the story. This is a game based on puzzle with a very minimalistic control : go left, go right, interact. The main of what you learn is through dialogue and environmental narration. The music really is beautiful and the pixel art make the atmosphere gore without being scary. Overall a short demo laying the fundation of the gameplay and telling just enough thing to make you want know more.

Broken demo, more like proof of concept

This is not a demo at all, it's barely a teaser. It mentions controller support, but the only moment you can actually use the controller is for dismissing the overlay describing the button mapping, everywhere else the controller doesn't work. Controls are keyboard only and it seems this went on for the full game, which is on GOG but some reason couldn't find directly. By randomly banging the keyboard I managed to summon some console with autocomplete; perhaps to compensate for showing controller buttons setup without controller support, there's no key bindings list despite the keyboard being the only way to actually control this. The story seems interesting, but the writing leaves a lot to be desired. It seems they somehow managed to release the full game. If you are interested, play this demo first -at least you can see the (bad) quality of the controls and writing. Pity, the atmosphere HAD potential.

stupid!

just another lame o attempt at releasoing a "retro" arcade. :( honestly, GOG needs to releae CLASSIC titles instead of this amaturishly written dialgoue drivel. if you are going to release an arcade RELEASE A CLASSIC OLD GAME, not this attempt at pollitical preaching. Cambron on a Crutch!
