Machine for Pigs & Custom Stories

[Mastersarge]

I didn't come here to play another Dear Esther tour game. I came to play Amnesia. I noticed a lack of interactivity and exploration when looking at the preview gameplay. All there is a click and hold to move and open shit, the lantern button that doesn't run out of oil, crouch and jump, and that's basically pretty much it.

The aspects of this game looks linear at best, and I do not really appreciate how... vague the opening game is in terms of character and story. Of course that's what I come to expect from a game like 'The Chinese Room' that wants to be 'poetic.' That being said, there's no inventory, no items, no way to really prepare yourself like in TDD; where you had to EXPLORE an entire castle where everything tries to kill you or worse, to delve more into the atmospheric characterization of the game's characters, the game world itself, and every note and important item of interest that is of great value.

In a nutshell, this is FAR from what the original had in mind. It's taken the Simple Simon route where this entire game is a horror museum without the 'no picking up and keeping anything' policy.
Plus, this game is going to have an predictable outcome with an unpredictable vague poetic explanation when I get done with this. Because TCR.

My two cents.
