Creepy Tale: Some Other Place

Довольно прикольная игра, на вечерок сойдет

流程有点短，希望续作多出点，不够玩啊。

Creepy Tale: Some Other Place is as good if not slightly better than the other episodes. I think each new game improves a little from its predecessor. Creepy Tale 2 had the most interesting story, but this one has the most pleasant puzzles. The first question I've asked myself before playing it: why is this episode not numbered "4"? Now, I can affirm it should have been called Creepy Tale 4. It follows the same recipe as the others. But like each episode, it's an independent story in the same creepy universe. Playing the previous episodes was never required for any of the Creepy Tale episode. So perhaps they should have never been numbered. But there are always many little references shown in a tactful way: if you have never played other episodes, you won't think you have missed something. In term of narrative content, it's very light, even more so than the previous episode. It's also less bloody or cruel toward its main character. The ambience, atmosphere is still very good. I've always enjoyed this strange nightmarish universe, and its hand drawn art-style. The gameplay is probably the most logical of all Creepy Tale games. There wasn't once where I solved a puzzle without even understanding why. There wasn't unintuitive forced logic that make me stumble for no reason. Overall, it's not a complicated game, it just requires a bit of attention to the clues. Its only real weakness was probably the story. But it's probably because I'm becoming a bit too familiar with the Creepy Tale universe. The sense of mystery and discovery was a little bit lacking in this episode. And other episodes tormented their main character in a better way which made me more invested to survive the adventure. If you have already enjoyed Machinarium, I think this game, or the whole series, is a good alternative.
