Jack Holmes : Master of Puppets

Nachdem ich durch [b]The Scarlet Harvest[/b], ein großartiges Halloween-Game, auf TonyDevGame aufmerksam geworden bin, haben mich der Trailer und die Demo zu Jack Holmes sofort neugierig gemacht. [b]Dieses Spiel ist eines der mit Abstand kreativsten Indie-Games, die ich bisher gespielt habe.[/b] Spätestens ab dem Moment, in dem man im Freizeitpark ankommt, wird es mit jeder Minute besser und besser – kreativer und abwechslungsreicher. Ein wirklich sehr gutes Spiel, das auch mit seiner Spielzeit von rund 5,2 Stunden überzeugt. [b]Als Nächstes werde ich mir The Sinking Forest holen und auch in Zukunft die weiteren Projekte des Entwicklers verfolgen.[/b] After discovering TonyDevGame through [b]The Scarlet Harvest[/b] — an awesome Halloween game — I got really interested in Jack Holmes after watching the trailer and playing the demo. [b]This game is easily one of the most creative indie titles I’ve played so far.[/b] From the moment you enter the amusement park, it just keeps getting better and better — more creative and more varied with every minute. It’s a very well-made game that also impresses with its playtime of around 5.2 hours. [b]Next, I’m planning to get The Sinking Forest, and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the developer’s future projects.[/b]

[code]What can I say? It was an experience but in a good way. With this game I found more of what I expected, both in terms of graphics, story and enemies. Everything starts like your usual horror game: you go to investigate and end up in an unfamiliar environment with weird-looking marionettes.[/code] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3620195723 [code]The plot is told through in-game documents and through the environment and enemies themselves. Your defensive weapons are a gun and a shotgun becoming available later. The further you progress, the more creativity and variety of enemies emerge. The game isn’t set in one place, you get to explore multiple locations. Although events are scripted, exploration still feels satisfying. I didn’t encounter any bugs and there are plenty of save spots and no way to get stuck. The puzzles are very easy, but sometimes clues aren’t obvious so it helps to pay attention to visual details (like a hidden ladder).[/code] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3620196010 [code]I literally have no complaints. I finished it in about six hours since I like to explore and take my time, though it could be completed a bit faster. I would’ve liked a more elaborate ending, but I really enjoyed the final boss and even if it was easy, it was creative and cool, like most of the game. You’ll be surprised by how much creativity is packed into this title. While the combat system isn’t top-notch like a Resident Evil game (not that I’m comparing), this game is absolutely a gem. I got it on sale, and I totally recommend it.[/code] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3620196330 [code]Good job, developers! ♥︎[/code]

Absolutely unplayable, what a joke!!!!

fantastic effort!

Impressive! Lots of visual candy with mini games within each area. I did have problems trying to figure out some of the puzzles and with no gamma adjustment, extremely difficult trying to see anything around me; including walls, paths, and enemies on a 32" curved monitor. The darkness added to the experience but, these old man's eyes could not focus.

Great game, fun and full of inventive ideas, never gets boring. Amazing work for a solodev. Can't wait to play the others!

What a fun game. Super creepy but a great time. My only complaint is that some of the monsters move really fast and stick on you if you dont kill them fast enough. Outside of that this is excellent.
