The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED]

The Eternal Castle [REMASTERED]

Read my full review at https://www.vgr.com/eternal-castle-remastered-pc-game-review

In the indie game scene, a lot of games take inspiration from the games of the past. Typically this comes in the form of tributes to oldschool consoles like the NES, SNES and Mega Drive. But it’s not often you see games that pay homage to the graphics of old IBM PC’s. The Eternal Castle, a supposed remake of a lost 1987 PC game, is such a game. And much in the vein of the game MURI, it acts as a tribute to old school PC games from the late 80’s and early 90’s. In this review we’ll be taking a look at this game and also discuss its legitimacy as a remaster. So strap in, it’s time to explore the CGA glory of The Eternal Castle.

The Eternal Castle is a tribute to the cinematic platformers from the past, such as Prince of Persia or Another World . This genre does not get a lot of representation these days, so I want to support developers that make games for a limited audience. Let’s be honest, this game is made for people with nostalgia for those clunky platformers. I really enjoy the gameplay because it’s very faithful, and any subjective criticism that I have does not take away anything from its artistry (which is something really special). As far as I know, the original game that is being remastered was “lost”, but I do know that this remaster imitates animation cycle from Prince of Persia . I wish the developers would give the credit for the sources of inspiration, instead of just claiming that it’s a remaster of a classic masterpiece that nobody played. But let’s make something very clear, this game combines the features from several titles, and could not exists in its current form if it wasn’t for them.

Queerskins: a love story

Queerskins: a love story

This left a bad taste in my mouth.

There just wasn’t enough time for reflection or enough moments to challenge the perspective that is being driven into us (that being Gay is wrong because it is against God). I suspect (hope) the intention was to prompt reflection and thought, but in a 15 minute 360 video, there is no opportunity for this, and the developers don’t fuel it at all.

The result, whether intentional or not, is a mess of bigotry and “cruel and irreligious piety.” I hate this. It should be withdrawn until it can be amended so that it isn’t provoking hate. I have reported it.

Sinless Night

Sinless Night

A normal part-time job can turn into terrible events

The main character of the game is a certain guy who decided to earn some money in a small eatery on the outskirts of the city. Arriving just before closing, the main character meets with the bartender, who gives a list of things to do. Who would have thought that it would not be possible to complete all the cases?

Gameplay

This is a small cinematic story, stylized as old VHS. The main character will have to face his fears, which have been haunting him for several years. Perform simple assistant work, communicate with clients, and also try to deal with paranormal phenomena that occur at night. Several endings make the game replayable and allow players to look at what is happening from a different angle.

Features

  • The atmosphere of old videos - the effect of an old VHS film adds more realism to what is happening.

  • Creepy soundtrack - sound effects will not let you relax for a second.

  • Multiple endings depending on the player’s actions - take a look at what is happening from different angles.

  • A fascinating story - a plot that keeps you in suspense until the very end.

BAD DREAMS

BAD DREAMS

_“They’ve promised that dreams can come true - but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too”. - Oscar Wilde

Your eyelids are heavy, your muscles relax, the sound of the television fades away to fatigue after a hard day at work. You embrace the arms of Morpheus and dive deep into the infinity of your imagination.

You wake up on an idyllic white sandy beach. A light breeze makes you shiver as the sun sets on the horizon. After a peaceful walk along the beach, you discover a huge dark bunker gate, which opens as you approach, inviting you to come in.

Your curiosity takes over and you decide to explore the place, revealing a wide underground complex. But what started as a perfect dream quickly turns into a bad one when you realized you’re not alone in here.

Find your way out, explore, solve puzzles and fight for your survival. Or your sanity.

Bad Dreams is not a game that should be played by everybody. It’s a unique experience filled with horrors and secrets. So be ready to face your darkest dream. But never. Ever. FALL INTO MADNESS._

Bad Dreams is a VR Horror game developed by French indie studio with outstanding and immersive gameplay based on real gesture. A unique experience, where nightmares become reality.

Immersives controls :

Bad Dreams will put all your senses to the test. Look, listen, smell, touch, run around… Don’t forget to do all this quietly because the evil is lurking, a strange evil that can’t be silenced without taking your head with both hands… Use your VR controllers like never before. Pinch your nose to avoid mortal gaz, cover your ears to save your spirit from madness…

Limbos :

In Bad Dreams, you must watch your sanity gauge very carefully and keep it as low as possible. If you don’t, insanity will take hold of you, and you will fall into limbo. A place where only the worst nightmares manifest. Run for your life to escape this hell and pick up right where you lost your mind.

Explore :

Use flashlight or matches to explore a dark underground network. Crouch and be quiet to avoid unnecessary fight. Pray to take the good path or die and try again. Do not forget your flashlight battery or embrace the darkness and its subjects.

Fight :

A horde of zombies, mutants and atrocities will come to haunt you throughout the game. Fortunately for you, there is a large choice of weapons and how to use them: kill, maim, and burn the monsters to save your life.

Puzzles :

Your path will be filled with puzzles to solve. Some of which would seem simple at first… But not when you’re under attack and creatures are roaring behind you. Thrilling moments guaranteed.

Hard choices :

In this game, you will have to choose which tool or weapon you’ll carry. You can carry one thing per hand and your inventory will offer you two slot so use it wisely.

Murder House

Murder House

From start to finish I knew I was going to love this game. At first it was just the pure novelty of a game that looked like something I’d watch an older family member play through while hiding behind a blanket as a kid. It only took a few minutes into actually playing the game to realize it would in fact make me FEEL like that kid too. The primitive textures and models give off such a familiar yet uncanny feeling. There’s so many horror games that look “conventionally” better than this, so why am I so off put by the appearance of the polygonal bunny man? Beyond the ps1 era influence, the atmosphere is just spot on. I was seriously impressed by the prologue because it was such a good representation of some vague nightmare I’m sure we’ve all had at some point in our life. After that, the main chunk of the game is where Puppet Combo’s love for Old School horror becomes so much more evident. News Reporters. VHS tapes. A Creepy House. A Psycho Killer. What more do you need? Even more terrifying than the visuals and set up though is the audio. Sometimes a sudden spike in distorted sound will be used as a mere jump scare (which I have nothing against), but what really gets you will be the distant drips and drops in the basement or the wind blowing against the trees outside as you cautiously avoid your predator. The lofi nature of these sounds just really get at your nerves, like nails on a chalkboard, but for some reason it just sounds so damn cool.

If you’re about to read this, let me first state that I actually did have fun with this game. I played it with 2 of my friends and we took turns controlling the player character,

! Emma, and we did enjoy the experience. The game also greatly captures exactly what it was going for in terms of ‘scary VHS 80s horror’ and it really does look like an old video game. It also had some genuinely scary moments that caught me off guard, and it was a fresh breath of air as compared to the typical indie titles that emerge.

The Night Way Home | 帰り道

The Night Way Home | 帰り道

The Night Way Home | 帰り道 was a fun experience. It’s definitely a good game, with a lovely story, but also needs quite some polishing…

The first big thing to talk about, is the panic meter, which is a pretty cool mechanic. Stay calm unless you want the spirit to know exactly where you are. What I would’ve preferred though, is that it was a little more punishing. For me, there was no real “fear” when I was panicking, you just start dodging the spirit while going to your objective, and that’s pretty much it. I would’ve preferred if it were a bit more “stealthy”, which would’ve made the whole experience a lot more rewarding.

Wth Chillas Art? I’ve enjoyed the majority of their titles, especially the atmospere and slow build.

Here there is no atmosphere, no build up, instead of which we get infuriating gameplay. Being harrassed by ghosts and constantly running away from objectives in maze like enviroments. After an hour I am much more annoyed than scared.

You want to get somewhere or do something, getting a ghost in your way, having to run around like crazy (because they are fairly fast), round round ‘til it chills down, and then hopefully get something done or find something new.
