That was so good! This is the best I've played in a while. It had such great creepy atmosphere that had 'impending doom' all over it. The twist at the end though! I love all of them!Great job, scriptwelder!
ln Greek myth, there were two lovers: Orpheus and Eurydice. When Eurydice died, Orpheus sought out Hades, the god of the underworld. The dog you fight
represents the guardian of the gate, Cerberus the three-headed dog. Upon meeting Hades, Orpheus convinced the god by singing and playing the lyre. Moved, Hades allowed. There was one condition: Eurydice was to travel behind Orpheus and if he were to look back before exiting the gates, she would be lost. Orpheus took the offer, suppressing every urge to turn. Just before the gates, he made sure she was behind him, thus breaking the condition. Eurydice faded before him and returned to the underworld. Grief-stricken Orpheus never sang nor played the lyre again. Refusing to play for the Maenad, female followers of Dionysus, mainly known as the god of wine, he suffered the fate that every victim did: he was ripped apart. Painful as that might be, he was reunited with Eurydice once again.
These games are just so marvelous! I love the way that it handles horror. It's such a simplistic sort of way but I admire the way the scares are executed. Most games are "scary" because a sudden loudness contrasts the overall quietness, but the Cube Escape games can have the Shadows lurking right in front of you in total silence and still generate a strong and true sense of fear. The story elements are amazing and I love how there are references to previous episodes as well.
Takes a few unexpected turns, and the end puts you on silence. Perhaps, the feeling of empathy? We know we are small. We seize power. But, in the end, it seems we became the one thing we abhor.
What a beautiful game and story. The player is a ghost, a loved one who has passed away. You try to cheer up the non-playable character, who is depressed and mourning. Slowly, the world around the two of you is given colour as each item is returned to the NPC and you become more transparent and faded. At the end, the NPC fondly remembers you but no longer chains you down and you ascend to the afterlife in peace.
A suspenseful mood almost the whole time, I love it. It would have been nice to be able to close doors but it does not ruin the experience. One thing that does, however, is the fact that it is easy to get stuck rounding a corner when you are not even touching the wall, just near it. It gets annoying when under attack.
