Decent But Not Great
The game is great at a few things. The lighting is perfect. So many games like this are blinding or weirdly lit. It has some decent puzzles that are not too hard or easy. The controls are smooth and quick to learn. The letters that tell the story are placed so that finding them is part of the story. Picking them up doesn't feel like a task or quest. What it doesn't do is stick with the story that the letters are telling to the end. I assumed that I was there investigating the deaths or disappearances of the winterers. The letter in the tent points to just that. The story suddenly changes for no reason at the end. It made no sense at all. Spoiler Alert: Why would I commit suicide even if I killed the guy in the bed? He was obviously the one who killed the person I found in the bear's den. He removed the handle on the door so that we couldn't get out and seemed to be laying in wait to kill me. If there was supposed to be something else going on then you didn't pull it off. If we were supposed to suddenly realize we were actually the guy that killed his brother then that wouldn't make sense either. The killer lived there and would already know where everything is. He wouldn't have to search for anything. If we commit suicide because of whoever we kill at the beginning of the game then you need to add something that shows our character is remorseful for doing it and make that murder a bigger part of the story. It really feels like you decided at the last second to stick the suicide in there so that you could say your game deals with the topic. This game has nothing to do with suicide in spite of the fact that there is one at the end.
Is this helpful to you?
