Slender Threads

Вчера допрошёл игру, опять оказавшись в ситуации, когда, будь возможность, проходил бы днями ещё и ещё) Вкратце: это потрясный, в меру упрямый, любопытный и запоминающийся квест с атмосферой брошенного, но ещё подёргивающегося города, которую я искал долгое время. Незамысловатый, с первого взгляда, зачин держал меня на привязи игры в промежутке между прохождением демо и моментом приобретения всей игры. Разработчикам падаю в ноги, целую руки и сердечно благодарю <3 Теперь к подробностям. Харви — потряснейшая компания в приключении, планирую зарисоваться его крутейшим дизайном и надеваю пару десятков шляп, чтобы снять их в отношении актёра озвучки. Герой-неудачник, казалось бы, дело знакомое, а меня прям зацепило, Харви крут) Вилла Вентана населена такими кадрами, с которых на протяжение всей игры выносит на распоследний угар, они просто замечательные. Я, клянусь, каждого первого воспринимал как "ну, этот явно будет нашим сайдкиком до конца игры, у нас с ним, вон, прямо химия". А это просто приятный усатый дядька с мотоциклом. Или саркастичная садовница. И так далее по списку. На вскидку в голове сразу всплывают живые образы, написать бы-где таких ребят самому: Фоско, Констанс, Барбер, крутейшие дамочки из салона красоты, владелец пиццерии, часовщик, Гордон, Памела, Джуди, сосед-параноик, русский в да даже внезапно пропавшая Глэдис. Правда, братья-разрабы, спасибо, что доказываете, что в жанре реально создать атмосферный и дышащий мир, и после набивших оскомину Френ Боу и Салли Фейс (без всяких претензий к обоим представителям). Юмор, в том числе и чёрный, но не чернушный, что может, вероятно, смутить некоторых игроков, юмор, выдержан в игре в тех же превосходных пропорциях. Особенно ясно встаёт картинка о труде и стараниях при разработке от регулярных отчётах на, даже, самом Стиме Живая, любимая Вилла Вентана, обещаю тебя ещё навещать. И после того, как соберу все достижения и утолю коллекционерскую душонку) [spoiler]Момент, о котором после прохождения нереально умолчать: в игре есть твист. Уже его упоминание считаю достаточным спойлером, скажу лишь следующее — он потрясный. Чуток универсальный, 9 из 10 сюжетов можно под него подвязать, но даже, если вы его не оцените, как я, то его точно интересно обсудить и равнодушно к нему ну никак не отнестись[/spoiler]

빠른 이동 사용 안 하는 도전과제가 있어서 그냥 걷는게 좀 힘들었지만 스토리가 꽤 흥미진진해서 재밌게 플레이 함

C'est un bon point and click des années 80 où il ne faut rater aucun objet et tout essayer mais j'avoue que je n'ai plus trop la patience. Attention ! On peut jouer au clavier ou à la manette et au clavier pour localiser mais la manette seule est buggée et vous fera rater des trucs.

Gostei da história e da arte do jogo. Espero que vire uma franquia.

5/10? It's not terrible, but kind of disappointing. There were some good jokes here and there, but I didn't care about the characters at all, and gameplay-wise, I found myself mildly annoyed the whole time. I picked this up upon release after having played the demo, which I found clunky but interesting enough. Unfortunately, a the puzzling tends to come in two flavors: brainless and nonsense. An early puzzle has you ignoring an obvious search location in favor of... fiddling with a crossword while ignoring the rest of the clues that should be on the wall with it? Items that at least [i]kind of[/i] make sense are treated as nonsense interactions, while other interactables are knowledge gated despite their access being solvable with partial collection of items/clues. A lot of the back-and-forth to find missed items/interactions is reduced by the game's fast travel system, but it's still important to walk through everywhere fairly thoroughly to start off. A few puzzles still require a good bit of on-foot back and forth to solve, with the final chapter adding jump scares to... make the player nervous? I guess? I was just annoyed, because it made me stop and wait while I was already backtracking. I expect a little bit of the above from any point & click adventure game--it's been baked into the genre about as long as it's existed--but I've a fairly low tolerance for it and I was hoping that feedback from the demo would have cut down on the messier parts. A lot of negative reviews are from folks who dislike the ending, and you know what? [i]I like the ending.[/i] It's fine. Maybe more hints to it would have helped; the only one I can think of in hindsight is the characters' inability to cross that one street. The epilogue was fun in a way most of the game wasn't, since it was intentionally kind of cheesy and the puzzles were self-contained. I could imagine an alternate version of this story where things started with it--no twist reveal, just start there as a premise--and then got weirder and creepier over time.

포인트 앤 클릭 게임을 끝까지 마친 건 이게 처음인듯 다만 기가 막히게 간편하고 직관적이며 플레이하기 쉽다는 뜻은 아니다 마을을 방문한 외지인이 일련의 사건에서 호기심을 느껴 온갖 사건을 벌이면서 진상을 파헤치는 내용 나름 최신 게임이기 때문에 그래픽이나 편의성은 갖췄지만 '주위 상호작용 오브젝트 표시' 이건 없는게 매우 아쉬웠다 스토리가 나름 인상깊었는데, 에필로그까지 플레이한 소감으로 상당히 흥미로우면서도 좀 더 다듬을 수 있는 여지가 있지 않았을까 하는, 정말 긍정적인 아쉬움이 남는다. 스팀 커뮤니티에 가이드 있음 포인트 앤 클릭 플레이어가 아니라 뭐 장르적으로 추천할만한 여지가 있는지는 모르겠다

I had high hopes for this game! Amazing Art and Voiceacting but the main Character isnt well written at all. In one Scene he screams at a Statue he finds that doesnt look scary in the slightest ( i wont spoil too much ) and directly in the same area he finds something actually horrifying and barely reacts at all?? Also the way he reacts when he finishes the Crosswalk Puzzle isnt right either.. sure he panics in the moment because of the aftermath right when it happens, but once you continue on with the Story he has close to no Emotions toward the Subject and what hes done.. What also bothers me is that there are so many items that you can use to solve the Puzzles around the area that you simply cannot use or just straight up cant interract with at all! Its incredibly frustrating not to mention that you basically have to figure out what you have to do in order to progress the story! ( The game literally gives you nothing unless you click for hints im talking about what normal games do like: " Alright i got these items ill see if someone in town can help me with this.." not even that! ) Look im all for puzzle games, thats mostly what i play even, but when the game doesnt even give you an area where we could look further into? Or the People in the game giving you actual useful information like how can you not know even some information about a person who lives in such a small town?? There are so much Writing, Puzzle and Character design mistakes which is sad since i was really looking forward to this game... 4/10 the points are only there for the Artists and Voiceactors....
