April 2025
If you played the first game as I did and like The Uncertain's universe (the whole robots have taken over and humans are fighting for survival thing) then you'll probably like this even though the gameplay is a bit different. The first game was more point and click wasn't it? It's been a while. If you didn't then the game will probably feel mediocre and low budget. But the price of both games are very reasonable when on sale and you get trading cards/achievements if you're into that so it's all good. The game ends on a cliffhanger just like the first game and feels a bit rushed, especially towards the end. I also had two random crashes and some text was in Russian but hey-ho. Note that there's puzzles but you can skip them which is handy. I enjoyed getting another glimpse into the world of The Uncertain and the references were fun to discover. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3461181165 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3461181254

This isn't the end of the story says Emily at the end of this game but sadly she is wrong, as this is the first and only chapter in this series. Looks like the developer still exists but never published a second chapter. We originally played the free pilot and enjoyed it so we purchased the game. This chapter has big budget production values with excellent graphics and acting, and the story is quite gripping if often a bit slow. Too bad there will never be a second chapter. As a result, we would only recommend picking up this at a discount, say USD5 or so

Just like the first game, The Uncertain: Light At The End sets up some interesting story beats only for them to never go anywhere. It essentially connects with the first game's ending, but not until the last few minutes, and since the third game will never happen, it all goes nowhere. Unlike the first game, TU:LATE features actual humans trying to survive in a world ruled by robots. Judging by the facial animations and movements, those humans also seem to be robots in disguise - at the very least, they have a hard time showing any emotions or more than rigid movements. As a result, the story isn't really all that convincing and the characters range from annoying to bearable, but they all have one-tone personalities that, obviously, do not get any time to develop in a game that is only four hours long. As for the gameplay, it mostly consists of finding objects in the environment and solving some simple, if heavily misplaced, puzzles. A lock doesn't need a puzzle that a fifth-grader can solve; that won't keep anyone out, especially after you already found a key anyway. Honestly, though, this all sounds unnecessarily harsh, but I am upset that this supposed trilogy never got a third game to shine. There are good ideas here; just like in the first game, the desolate, (mostly) human-less environment builds up atmosphere, the soundtrack is very well done and the general ideas in the story make sense, even though they aren't executed in the most convincing way. There are even some mini games you can play and a very simple morality system. The puzzles can all be skipped if you just want to focus on the story, though I would recommend doing them. It's a game hamstrung by it's budget and/or lack of experience, but you can tell there's a seed here that never got a chance to fully blossom. Overall, I will give it a thumbs up because the gameplay part itself is mostly inoffensive and it stands as a good introduction to a universe that never really evolved in the way it should've. If you can look past some clunky animations and the simple gameplay, The Uncertain: Light At The End and the first game, Last Quiet Day, are interesting games to check out, at least under the pretext of getting a glimpse into something that never came to be.

A unique story that I think has the potential to be fascinating. However, the character animation and cut-scene/dialogue pacing leaves a lot to be desired. The end also leaves the story line open in a frustrating way, particularity since there is no word on any sequel actually being developed. This game is right on the edge of being a genuinely great independent game, but these issues hold it back.

How much you enjoy The Uncertain: Light At The End will depend a lot on your tolerance for janky sci-fi adventures. Fortunately, that's one of my favorite genres. Light At The End continues the story from Last Quiet Day, showing you small fragments of a future where humanity and robots lived side-by-side until some kind of event happened that led to the robots rounding up and disappearing the humans. For why? We will never know, because it seems the developers have abandoned the series. But the mystery is compelling. The game is quiet and subdued. You aren't some epic hero at the center of everything or some impossibly cool wisecracking hipster, you're just an ordinary person trying to survive. Everybody feels down-to-Earth. There is the usual set of adventure game logic puzzles used to gate advancement through the scenes, but for the most part this is a narrative adventure/walking sim where you just walk around and talk to people and experience the world. The continuity is sometimes a bit off, the script isn't always great, but overall it's a peaceful, relaxing game punctuated with the odd QTE. Something cozy for the weekend, if you are a sci-fi fan who can look past the jank and unfinished story.
