This game is beautiful. The visual design of the ship is amazing; definitely cutting-edge for 1897. You want to stop playing the game and just look around where you are. I'd recommend playing one chapter per session. I recommend setting the Gamma to maximum so you can see a bit more. The keys seem to be W-A-S-D with Shift to sprint and Space to jump. Unfortunately these cannot be modified. Apart from that it is amazing. I needed to use youtube walkthroughs a few times where I couldn't figure out the puzzle or do the right moves fast enough.
I'm really torn with this one, first of all I want to congratulate the design team, like wow! The esthetic pulls you right into the story which are the strong points for this game. Normally I don't really browse that much through the collectable story, but these really seemed to catch my eye, and gave a lot of expose in hindsight. Walking through this enormous ship that actually feels lived in, unreal engine 4 is used to it's full potential. But then the biggest flaws come around with the gameplay which to be frank is quite lacking, the puzzles aren't difficult whatsoever, some of the mechanics don't seem works 100% of the time (vaulting during a chase and simply pressing a button). The chase scene's don't really seem life or death since they are a bit overused. The story feels incomplete, because you don't get the other pov of the story and therefore the overall game time is quite short. I completed the game 100% in 4.1 hours, which I think might even be on the longer side. AND.. the main thing I can't get over is the lack of options! Like sometimes the game is just so incredibly dark I can't see where I'm walking. No gamma slider No pov slider No save states to reload later on. It's only chapter based These last few to me were inexcusable for a game released in 2020. Anyways, I'd recommend getting this one on a nice sale. The worldbuilding + story is really pulling this one out of a negative review 6..3/10
I really liked the ambience. It reminds me very much of Bioshock. Its sadly very dark, which you cant change in the settings and you dont have a flashlight or lantern. Also the two chase sequences in the beginning and in the end are a bit annoying because you rather have to guess where to go, i died three times at both chases before finding the right route. All in one its a nice game with an interesting story. It feels like a mix between Bioshock and Everybodys gone to the rapture. I would have wished more overall notes about the projects, especially at the second half of the game. All in one a nice game with a few scares. I can recommend it
