This little game is a surprising philosophical reflection on human nature and our place in the world. Great visuals and atmosphere. The fact that the horror elements of this game are grounded makes it feel like a pessimistic cautionary tale, which hits different than a typical sci-fi or body-horror game. My only two complaints: (1) Some of puzzle solutions could be a little clearer (I had to look up a walk-through a couple times). (2) English translations were sometimes rough, impacting some important notes and quotes that the player reads. This hindered the intended meaning and broke some immersion. Nonetheless, I found this little game worth playing, especially for the sale price of $0.99.

We Are The World The Light Remake is a walking sim that talks about the the reality around us. It discusses the topic of Nuclear annihilation and what the aftermath of such an atrocity would be. Honestly, it is a bit heartfelt, especially for such a short game. I can recommend this, because this is a short and profound game that really delves into a thought the writers and developers had. And, while it is short, it still allows for the player to explore at their own pace. I will say, the only awful thing about this game are the puzzles, because they can feel a little weird or obtuse, and the tracking down of objects can feel annoying, even though the answer is right in front of your face. Overall, everything about this game is amazing! From the art style to the simplicity of the story, to even the fun of the just listening to the sounds of the game. I think it would be great to give this small walking sim a shot, especially when it is on sale and you are getting a 2 hour experience, if you do not try to achievement hunt.

As a walking sim, I guess this game is passable. What's that? Story, I hear you ask? What story? ;) The extensive Russian graffiti and signs suggest a post-Chernobyl setting, with the central setting being a building (possibly a school) replete with a murky basement, and outside, a shed of some sort. There is some structure to the sim. You get some keys, a fuse, a switch, all for the express purpose of getting the power up and running so you can play a video reel in the lecture hall. Once that happens you aren't far off finishing the game. Unlike other sims, there isn't much voice over. There are some notes (in English), and there is a small amount of Russian voice over, but for the mostpart it's just you walking around discovering snippets. One feature that the game has is two different endings based on light and dark. It's not something you'd know about, going into your first game... unless you've had a look at the steam achievements beforehand. Essentially, during a second playthrough, you try not to use your torch or your lighter at all, and when outside, avoid sunlight as much as you can. I'll be honest, it's a bit of a balls-up as while you are underground it can get really confusing and it's easy to get lost. I recommend a guide if you're trying to get 100% achieves. ______________ The store page talks about 'incredibly beautiful' but I never really saw any of that. The majority of the game is spent indoors, and the range at which you can travel outdoors is severely limiting. Indoors, however, they did get right. 'Gloomy and empty.' I've played a few games now with this eerie Chernobyl-like setting and I'm not sure it'll ever work to a resounding success. While it does have a few minor puzzles, the rest of the game is sadly a rather forgettable experience. It's right on the fence for me, and while it was tough to decide on, I'll go with a positive.

Dark A part of the world that has always abused it's citizens, made them invisible. We see it in the way that not a single decade goes by without seeing yet another war in that region and soldiers sent to die. Civilians, die twice, at the hands of soldiers come to save them. And then are erased. So the propaganda tape rolls, and so one expects to see games that portray the propaganda and it's untruths. I think it does that quite well actually for the dark brooding mood of the game. A warning. Translates Poorly The game mechanics are simple, you have to collect a few items, and explore slowly on foot. Everything is dark, so the thing is to conserve light. That's a hint as well. The game provides very few hints, and the puzzles are probably unsolvable in a hurry without a guide. Made harder because the few hints you do get are not really enough unless you speak Russian and have solved similar puzzles. Not too Scary There are a few shadowy moments, but nothing that counts as a scare, the mazes are scary enough just by being dark to be honest. I really never truly figured out the twists and turns of one maze which has you walking in water about a foot deep at times. I think what messes up any realism is how the soundscape and sound effects are often really random. No directional sound and no strictly environmental sounds either. And that's why you don't want to be paying full price at all. I found there is a plugin you can download from LoneDev which fixes my biggest issue with this game and that is the POV and head bob which made me a bit queasy feeling. Conserve light. Grab it on the specials, grab a guide and enjoy the dark mood - for more dark mood games check out this list https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41773079-EmpathyGames/list/91748/

Well, the game was great. I really enjoy the games this team makes and the developers are talented. If I were to talk about the game, it really makes you think after you finish it. The graphics of the game were 8.5 out of 10 for me, but the sound design was great and the songs were even more unique and I think it gets 10 out of 10. If you ask me how the story was, I would say it was amazing, unique and perfect. Apart from the story itself, there are writings in the game itself, especially at the end of the game, there are messages written on the walls that make you, or rather me, think about humans and the world. The story message I got from this game is this: In my opinion, humans have started to destroy themselves and do things that leave nothing, or rather not much, in history, which makes humans remembered as selfish and aimless people. They do things that make goodness meaningless and eventually disappear. Of course, I mean a part of humans, not all humans. In the end, I say play this game, it is really worth playing. Thank you to the development team for this game and their other games. I recommend it.
