Call of the Sea

Хотелось почитать какую-нибудь романтическую книгу, а нашла эту игру. Прекрасный квест роман. Не сложные головоломки, интересный рассказ, красивый тропический остров, а Гарри просто золотце.

I really liked this game. The story was on point, granted I did end up guessing halfway through, but that didnt ruin my experience at all. In fact I think it made it better, because than I was looking even harder for the clues I thought might be there. Voice acting was great, music really drew you in as well. 10/10

отличная качественная головоломка

Es un juego indie que cuenta con cariño una historia de Lovecraft. Lo que encontrarás es historia, puzles y ambientación. No es muy largo pero creo que la historia tiene más impacto reducida a su esencia.

[h3] Meaning of love and chronic illness with Dagon in the background [/h3] Very nice short story about love and choices in a "lovecraftian mythos" wrapper. As mentioned in the title, Dagon is there but [spoiler] literally [/spoiler] and figuratively in the background. It's not the centre of the story at all. For me the game focused on the love of 2 partners and chronic illness. It's not a masterpiece and doesn't try to be it. But it is very well made! Since it included worldbuilding, a number of side-characters, story and most wonderful - voice acting of the main heroine, the pace of the game was much slower than you would expect from regular puzzle games of similar type. It's right in the middle of a puzzle game and visual novel style where you almost watch it as a story. [hr][/hr] Story: For me it was cute and simple (it the best way) Worldbuilding was very well made, not too much elements, but everything that was chosen to be added - was well developed and integrated into the story. As a Lovecraft fan I did like it didn't go full horror and center the "gods and mythos" but used the mythos as a good background of the story. The story of the main heroine and her partner was very wholesome, most of the story our main goal is to find our husband. Then it expands into investigation to what happened with the expedition crew. It's very linear, because of that it was very helpful that it was broken into chapters. [hr][/hr] Gameplay: Quite simple, mostly it's a walking simulator with narration of the main heroine Gameplay is made in 2 parts: - walking around and inspecting items/images/murals to either: find clues to the puzzle, find clues to what happened to the crew, find clues where is your husband - puzzles themselves - first chapter did include finding items and placing it in right place, but it was quickly abandoned and other 99% of the puzzles is: correctly moving or pushing items in correct place/way/sequence based on your notes. One exception would be the [spoiler] current valves [/spoiler], just pushing buttons at correct times Usually the puzzles (and the main puzzle piece you had to solve to go into next location) were in a confined location without too much backtracking. However when you had to do backtracking it was very slow, since the heroine can either drag her feet, or walk (which is called running, but I disagree). Unfortunately it also coincided with the story being quite immersive. But because it was so slow I only could think how much I need a sprint instead of focusing on the story or the puzzles. [hr][/hr] Sound: 10/10 the sound design, voice acting was superb. For such a small game, I was really surprised but it was a very welcomed addition. Norah's voice actor - Cissy Jones is magnificent. My proverbial hat goes off to her. All of the locations, thanks to the sound (of course the visual part also did the work) felt really immersive. [hr][/hr] Visual: The design was chosen to be more cartoony and cel-shaded. Worked for me well, especially since the game knows what it is and doesn't want to overwhelm with realism, but still invite emotions and scenic views. Probably I'm biased since I really like cel-shaded designs, but I thought it fit very well, was very well designed especially because of the style and overall became very well made picture to look at [hr][/hr] Overall: If you're good with simple yet very well made short story with puzzles, and you're the type of player who is okay with walking around and inspecting every nook and cranny for more story or notes - it's perfect choice. P.S. One thing I was sad about - is that it ended. I wouldn't say that I wanted or needed more, no, the game is perfect for what it is, and wouldn't make sense if it was larger, then it would need to change everything. However it was nice, short and lovely. It did make me stop at the ending of the story as well, and think about it (in a good way).

this was the most perfect thing ever

Gra z prostymi zagadkami i ciekawą historią, chętnie sięgnę po kontynuacje.
