You should NEVER be too tired to put a log on the fire. That doesn't make much sense.
Reviews for "Snowdrift"
this game.
oh.. this game.
i have no words.
Lots of little bugs here and there, moonwalking was fun. Seems just a little bit underpolished. Too much text in general, some of the dialog seemed repetitive.
That having been said, I still gave you a 5. Here's why:
There was no direction. Or, to be more exact, there was very little direction and you gave it to us in the very beginning of the game. You explained the three bars, what would happen if any of them ran out, and you explained how to refill them. You explained that the lantern had one supply of oil and to use it wisely. And you explained that you had to "survive".
That gave it the proper horror feel. Understanding very little, not knowing if what you're doing is "working", if there is any progress being made... and then noticing that the days are getting shorter...
Knowing that darkness = death, and you don't want to relight the wood too fast because you'll waste it, but you aren't exactly sure if it's pitch-black yet or just very dim and the lighting is off on your monitor... so you look really close... and then you get your face fucked.
You wonder if there is something you're supposed to be "finding" out in the woods, but you don't want to get too many screens away because you know you have limited oil...
A great horror experience.
Reminds me of "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski. 10 years ago I read it, and I still have the occassional nightmare.
I made an account just to make a review of this. I love the game and was this intended to be an art game? If it is, then I don't exactly agree with what I think the message is. Also where you intending to make a volume control for this game, because the game has muted on me. So how do I unmute it?
Oh and I got the good ending in 7 days. (SPOILERS?: I found that trying to encounter everything like waiting to see what the blob dose in your sleep and waking up to it seems to get the visitor to knock on the door faster. END SPOILERS?)
I would love to give a larger and more detailed review, but I'm not very good at doing that.
Placeable responds:
The game's whole theme is loneliness, if it was intended as an art game? Just a little bit. But if I would have went all out on that the game would've been much more abstract.
Thanks for the review and glad you liked the game!
