In fact, if you’ve ever watched the TV series ‘ Midsomer Murders’, then you’ll find many similarities, from the village to the detective work you’ll engage in. It’s truly as though you are participating in some kind of horror movie – where mystery is at the forefront. What you won’t find, however, is a single dead body. Things get even spookier as you begin to find blood splatters and other gruesome findings. It leaves you wanting to learn exactly why or where everybody has gone.
Whilst it all looks amazing and relaxing, at the same time it also feels very eerie, with empty cars and abandoned buildings. It’s an experience which will flow at the pace you want it to.
It’s your job to digest these clues and ultimately play detective. However, this game leaves you slap bang in the middle of a deserted Shropshire village, based in the 1980’s, where the only noise that can be heard is the buzzing bees, swaying trees and singing birds.Īs you begin to explore the idyllic surroundings, you’ll notice that there are many clues scattered about the gorgeous setting. I can’t remember the last time a game was primarily based in the English country side, which is surprising since it’s the perfect environment for a game to be featured. From every screenshot to each trailer, it looked totally awesome. The company partnered with Frictional Games to release “Amnesia: a Machine for Pigs” in 2013 while laying the groundwork for its latest release, “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture,” a game that bears obvious comparison to “Dear Esther,” given its fixation on solitude and death.If there was an indie game that I just couldn’t wait for, then it had to be Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. The game’s success allowed The Chinese Room to sever its connection with the University of Portsmouth, where Pinchbeck was employed as a lecturer and researcher. This paved the way for the top-to-bottom remake that was released commercially in 2012 and has since sold over 750,000 copies - quite a feat for a title whose investors were initially skittish about its earning potential. It was built using the Source graphics engine that underpinned “Half-Life 2.” Initially released as a free download, it was well received by the mod community. “Dear Esther,” one of most cerebral video games in recent times - about a suicidal man wandering an uninhabited island - began life as a user-created mod to a popular first-person shooter.
