Between Me and The Night

good

As with so many other indie games the themes of trauma, depression and sorrow are here. This is clearly a very personal game, and I'm not questioning the vision behind the game, it has a fairly basic but functioning artstyle and tells its story well, but it lacks severely in the gameplay department. It's a basic point and click adventure with some "retro" arcade games in between the puzzles. The puzzles are not especially difficult, the main problem you have is that there are monsters that chase you in the levels, but it's mostly random and more of a annoyance than a obstacle. The controls are also abysmal, both in the arcade bits and when you walk around. I dunno, I don't regret my time with the game, but it's also not something I can really recommend.

ale gówno

Прикольные карточки в игре. Не помню откуда эта игра у меня в библиотеке) Игра прикольная!

It's a good game to play but I wish the developers weren't too vague on what was going on in the main character's life and give us at least a small detail about the arcade cabinet and where did he find it.

I... I dunno. This is a side-scroller, P&C, puzzle game. The art is good. The story... No bugs or crashes. Works fine on Win 7. Well, the game is entertaining, mostly. There are many things that appear to be puzzles that you need to solve but that end up being nothing, just... ¿to confuse the player, maybe? Things that are for ambiance are not interactive, but things that are manipulable are also for ambiance, mixed up with the real elements needed for the puzzles. Not very friendly for the player, that should be bewildered by the puzzles and not by a bunch of nonsensical items with no real importance. There is some platforming action that is annoying. The art is nice to look at. Some puzzles are head-scratchers but not really that hard. The game is good for the casual player. The story is intriguing at first but later feels just like is the story of the life of some dude (developer) that thinks his life is interesting (but is not). I don't think this is a surreal game, feels more like a personal auto-therapy disguised as a game. "Get inside my head, dude, it's crazy!" Nah, a pretty common set of childhood trauma and later of boring adulthood. Anyway, it includes cards and achievements. Get it for cheap and you might have some fun, just some.
