That is incredibly good looking. They did good work on Dear Esther, wasn't much to do in that game well more a tech demo, but seems they've put their previous artist work to good use their latest release...

I thought the order and drive club had very impressive visuals, but this one is very impressive looking.

Cryengine showing what can be done with good artists / programmers behind it.

Can't wait to get home and download this (My PS4's are off due to Rabbit escape artists liking power cables).

Is this a 3D first person adventure game or what?

This looks incredibly boring to be honest, seems like a benchmark with a story.

For £12 quid I've gone for it. Will be a while before its downloaded though.

I watched a trailer and just a small bit of voice acting from that had me intrigued.

Omg walking around and I'm like, wow I remember post boxes , phone booths and montego estate cars looking just like that when I was 10 years old.. Game is showing me my own age. It's like a trip down memory line, graphics are very nice. Captures 80s English village very well. Good stuff..

So these lights am I meant to chase those or something? Lol spending more time exploring and thinking where is everyone..

Bought and downloaded, roll on tonight.

Looking forward to playing this.

Great to see what a small indie team can achieve. I was recently playing the telltale game of thrones series and was quite frustrated at how poor the environments looked. I realise it's a very different style, but when you see what can be achieved it makes me think it could be so much better.

been following this for some time, looking forward to having a few beers and just "watching a film" unfold. (That's what I'm hoping it's like) I love a good mystery

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is also a great game, a bit shorter than this, but very cool, Also Life Is Strange.

played a tiny bit of this so far, will do more i while, so far it's very good, the audio is simply fantastic.

I agree, am playing this on the wireless headset and it sounds superb, so immersive.

I didn't think the PS4 was capable of graphics like this, hands down the nicest looking game on the PS4.

Also bought, and downloaded but i'm not home until Friday

Looking forward to giving this a blast!

Spent all evening playing this, its a very slow moving game. But its a very pretty slow moving game ...

The game has a lot of branches, I start one path only to then fnd myself straying to another path , but I've found it enjoyable and strange but true a very relaxing and yet quite tricky to remember where you've been game.

It's a worthy purchase if you want a slow, relaxing story based game where you start not knowing anything, and erm sorta not know anything until a good few hours in...

Graphics are also very good but its also got a very nice and soothing soundtrack. Also not noticed any major glitches, have noted some frame slowness in a few places, but that's hardly worth worrying about....

Played for around 3 hours last night and got completely engrossed in the setting and story (from what I have pieced together at least).

The atmosphere is fantastic, the music / sound is first class and the graphics are simply jaw dropping in places. I quite like the subtle softness to the textures which somehow makes it look even better, more real.

Interested but I'm not really sure what type of game it is? Is it just wandering around as the game tells you a story, or is there an adventure game/puzzle aspect to it?

robj20 · 12 Aug 2015 at 08:28

Nope just wander around and uncover a story.

It is more of a playable narrative. As you wander about you trigger scenes which tell the story / flesh out the characters in a flashback like approach (the characters appear as light rather than models).

It can be seen as a spiritual successor to Dear Esther which had a similar approach to "gameplay".

I'm really enjoying this. I started it last night and it was a case of 'Oh, I'll just find one last clue', over and over again. I really need to know what happened!
