Life is Strange
Adventure
January 30, 2015
An episodic adventure game created by the developers of Remember Me, a French studio DONTNOD. The game bears a resemblance to Telltale Games titles. Its protagonist is a 12th grade student named Max Caulfield, who returns to her home town in Oregon after years of absence. Together with her old friend she tries to solve the mysterious disappearance of her schoolmate, which prompts a series of strange events. The story is the essential part for the game, whereas gameplay mechanics are based on the well-proven formula employed by Telltale, which combines free exploration and difficult choices with non-obvious consequences. An interesting addition to the gameplay is the fact that Max possesses the power to manipulate time, allowing you to experience another version of events without having to restart an entire episode. On the technical side, the game is well-designed and well-executed, featuring expressive, slightly cartoonish graphics.
The Sexy Brutale
Adventure
April 11, 2017
Filled with black humour, an adventure game co-developed by Tequila Works and Cavalier Game Studio. The action of The Sexy Brutale takes place inside an old English mansion transformed into a casino by the mysterious Marquis. One day, its workers murder all the guests. However, the player gets the chance to save them. You assume the role of a priest named Lafcadio Boone who – just like in the movie Groundhog Day – falls into a time loop and relives the day of the murder again and again. Primarily, the title focuses on investigating each homicide and figuring out how to prevent it. To do that, you will have to explore, chat, solve mysteries, and face occasional stealth challenges. Advanced AI deserves special recognition as it simulates the way the guests live and react.
The Gardens Between
Puzzle
September 20, 2018
An unusual adventure game developed by The Voxel Agents - an independent studio. The main protagonists of the game are a stubborn girl named Arina and her young, yet incredibly intelligent friend - Frendt. They land in a world made of their memories and objects related to them. The two friends are tasked with discovering the secrets of this world. Players get to observe from the side-perspective how the two protagonists explore small, surreal locations and solve both environmental and logic puzzles based on manipulating the time and matter. Particular worlds (the titular Gardens) have been built in a cylindrical form - they have one central point composed of the objects from Arina's and Frendt's past (e.g. a computer with all its components or gardening tools). The game features simple, yet pleasing visuals following a cartoonish convention. During their adventure, the player is accompanied by an atmospheric ambient soundtrack.
