| Simoun 09/14/20 12:06:05 PM #192: | The Long Reach (PC) Great 2d horror game. Point-click adventure at heart with some stealth elements, however it just feels different from all the other horror games in this style. The game is quite short (for what it is. It's about 5-8 hours), and doesn't pretend that this is actually a game in disguise. All the puzzles made sense and I found it brilliant how the logic of a pt-click adventurer was actually explained in-game. But most of all the horror was equal parts implied and equal parts gore. I haven't seen the concept of hallucinations done in this manner since the Chzo Mythos. The music is excellent, really sets the tone, and the dialogue system is interesting because of the kind of assholish character that you play. He's not a snarky witty protagonist. He's not a brooding clever genius. He's not even some edgy asshole who's in the wrong genre. You're playing as an everyman who's just fucking sick of the shit that's been happening to him. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
