I had to struggle for a while to determine whether to give this game a thumbs up or thumbs down. I like innovation in games design in general, and I like the innovation in PROXIMATE specifically. The execution of that innovation is...definitely a bit lacking, though still not terrible in and of itself. Perhaps I ask for too much, but I just wish that the game did more to both develop its oppressive atmosphere, and to make use of that oppressive atmosphere once developed. The start of the game is tight and polished, but by the time I reached the end of the roughly ninety minute game, it felt like it had run out of momentum. It dies with a whimper and not a bang, and I think that's kind of unfortunate. I did like the very last part of one conclusion, but it just feels like...there should be more of a reaction/response to what you're finding than there is. I understand why there isn't given the intentionality of the game's message and the character delivering it, but it feels...almost cartoonish. Lacks verisimilitude. And that in turn makes the rest of the game feel weaker; less real. I don't regret having bought or played PROXIMATE, but I would still strongly caution choosing to buy or play this game if you aren't doing it just to experience something new and creative, even if that thing might be rough around the edges. This one feels like it's going to have very narrow appeal, even if you're already down here reading this review to decide if you want to buy it or not.
Instantly smiled when I heard the Australian accent. The best horror game that nails that feeling of being in your basement, stumbling around in the dark for a light switch and it not being on the part of the wall you thought it was. And now you have to keep putting your hand on things to find it, and you don't know where you're putting your hand...
I think this game could have done a little more with the horror. But I also think, in the end, it wasn't really ABOUT the horror: It was about the people. It was about that yawning chasm that forms in your heart when you love someone who doesn't love you back. The hungering, yearning loneliness. That said, for some reason the 100% dog error (which, to be clear, IS an intended scripted moment! not a literal error) part was scariest to me. Not even for impossible navigation reasons, but just because it kept making me picture everything as this unyielding wall of angry dog-flesh encasing me like that one Evil Garfield meme where he eats the house by turning inside-out. Even though I know it was just an error and not actually dogs. Odd quirk of my mind, I guess. Definitely worth a try if for no other reason than the novelty! Short and to-the-point. (Side note: was that a Disco Elysium quote at one point??)
