Ad Infinitum

História impactante, profunda e realista... Espero que todos que passaram por esses tipos de traumas estejam em paz onde quer que estejam.

The game is dark and I understand why it is made that way, but after hours of searching for objects (and not finding them) I learned that when conditions were met a delivery was to be made automatically but it wasn't. I went online for answers and the guy doing the walkthrough was tedious at best because he kept getting sidetracked by the snacks he was eating and then I picked up a browser high-jacking virus from that site that took the rest of the night to overcome. So far I can't see me dealing with this mental masturbation any longer.

Got it at 90% off. It was a fun short story. Spooky monsters that you can't really fight abound. There's a bit too much pop-psychology in its representation of PTSD, but that's at least in service of storytelling and gameplay. I don't think it serves well as mental health awareness except in remembering how strong generation trauma would have been going from WW1 to WW2. For completionists looking for the 'best' ending, you might be confused about how to even do that. It's hard to tell what choice you're making, and there's not enough in the game for me to want a second playthrough.

个人觉得不好玩，序章倒是吸引人，到了家以后看着头大，满屋子的解密，游戏交互开门做的也不舒服，不爱玩。。感觉像是没有枪的失忆症地堡

Lo acabo de terminar y me ha dejado buen sabor de boca. El punto fuerte es la historia, hasta que no entras en ella y va tomando forma, puede resultar un poco confuso. Eso sí, no te la tira a la cara, es más sutil, es uno de estos juegos de leer notas y atar cabos por tu cuenta. A nivel jugable nada es especialmente complicado, aunque tampoco lo llamaría un walking sim como hacen otras reseñas. Hay secciones con puzles y secciones con enemigos donde te pueden matar. Algunos de los puzles pueden resultar un poco obtusos pero nada irresoluble dándole un par de vueltas o explorando un poco. Los gráficos y la atmósfera muy logrados -para un indie- y buena optimización, al menos en mi máquina. No se hace largo cosa que a estas alturas es de agradecer. Recomendado.

Наверное самый лучший хоррор, затрагивающий тему последствий войны для простого человека. К сожалению не лишен некоторых проблем и могут быть крайне редкие баги, однако после прохождения у меня остались только положительные впечатления и чувство удовольствия от хорошей концовки [spoiler] P.S. по поводу багов, у меня было два бага связанных с госпиталем: 1) Постоянно звонил телефон и задача менялась на одну и ту же; 2) Дверь в конце уровня была закрыта, но открылась после того, как я "проснулся" один раз. Да, я включил электричество и был пожар, но дверь была закрыта. В остальном проблем не было, да и те мелочные [/spoiler]

You play this one for the story above all else, and that won't be everyone's cup of tea. If you're expecting a fast-paced WW1 shooter, you're better off in a BF1 lobby, or maybe NecroVisioN for a more action-oriented horror experience. While Ad Infinitum has tense moments that require quick thinking/reflexes, it rewards the patient gamer more than anything. Exploring the environments, reading documents (some of these are optional, but they all add to the narrative and worldbuilding), and absorbing the atmosphere are where the game truly shines. The grotesque yet beautiful visuals, memorable soundtrack, and attention to period-accurate detail make it clear that this was a passion project. The gameplay itself is fairly straightforward, revolving around puzzles, stealth, quick-time events, and survival. It doesn't reinvent the genre, but it doesn't need to. The real strength lies in its narrative, one of the most hauntingly beautiful I've experienced in a while. Beneath the monsters and supernatural (or maybe hallucinatory?) imagery lies a story about guilt, trauma, PTSD, family, blind patriotism, dishonesty and the psychological scars left by war. The true horror isn't the creatures you encounter, but ordinary human cruelty and the damage it leaves behind. Despite its darkness, the game never completely abandons hope, challenging both your morality and the choices you make throughout the journey. With three distinct endings, the game offers meaningful replay value, each path leading to the same final message through different choices. Its ending is especially poignant if you can empathize with those who lived through the turmoil of the first World War. It left me reflecting on how easily we take the people and moments in our lives for granted, and on the complexities of human nature itself. A gripping experience that will stay with me for a while. The Great War killed 20 million people, a lot of which would not be old enough to play an M-rated game today, but old enough to pick up a rifle in 1914. May they rest in peace.

Niezły horror dziejący się w czasie I Wojny Światowej. Szkoda, że nie można bardziej postrzelać, ale jak ktoś lubi takie klimaty godny polecenia.

I recommend this game because i bought it for €3.50. I wouldn't recommend it because of some of the puzzles. It has several puzzles where the challenge comes less from solving a logical problem and more from finding a small, interactable object in a very dark environment.
