Alice Mesmerizing Episodes of Neurosis (AMEN)

Наркомания

创作的本质是表达，创作的欲望本质是想要被看见的欲望。 但光有欲望是不够的，因为他人没有看见的义务，不管你有精神病还是别的什么，因此表达的方式很重要。公平的交易，你用你的才能为他人提供或愉快或惊叹或回味的精神价值，而他人以鲜花与掌声、关注与支持作为回报。 他人看见你，然后爱上你，这便是创作者关于爱的小把戏。 而这个游戏，很遗憾，就是欲望过剩但才能有限的典型。 癫狂，是的。痛苦，是的。嘶喊的线条与扭曲的色块，是的。 可是，不好玩啊。

연출과 색감은 좋으나 그림 묘사가 너무 더럽습니다. 힌트가 없어서 더러운 아트를 계속 세세하게 뜯어봐야 합니다.

As far as the hidden object genre goes this one is pretty solid. You need to really investigate each level to finish the game and get all the achievements. The images are really detailed and reveal a lot on further inspection making it fun to engage with the gameplay. AMEN has a nice and surreal depiction of Alice in Woderland using grotesque but at the same time gorgeous art to tell it's story. There are cryptic texts scattered through the levels that really sells the mysterious and surrealistic vibe the game has going on and those texts (or atleast the one I looked into) have meaning if decoded and go beyond purely aesthetic. Really solid game with a lot of narrative despite it's simple gameplay with great attention to detail.

A estética do jogo é peculiar; Singular. Dá pra entender a intenção dos desenhos e essa é com certeza uma das partes mais interessantes desse jogo. Gostei de tudo nele, relaxante de uma certa forma.

AMEN is a hidden object game in a horror setting, with brilliantly disturbing artwork and very appropriate strident music, which together create a very unsettling atmosphere. In each level, a number of small keys must be found in a large & often jarringly coloured scene to unlock the next level. There may also be a small number of secrets to discover, though these are not needed for game progress and levels can be returned to later in the game to find any missed secrets. There are achievements for completing each level, and for finding each of the secrets. Finding the keys can be surprisingly hard. On some levels I thought I had searched very carefully but after going through the whole scene I was surprised to find that I had missed 25% or even 35% of keys. There are a number of reasons for the difficulty, I feel - keys are small; some are hidden in the detailed chaos of the images; some are actually hidden INSIDE objects (some objects are automatically "x-rayed" when the cursor passed over them); and some are of very faint definition or coloured to match the background (I particularly struggled with keys hidden in the bright red backgrounds - the game's zoom facility was essential for me to find these). I'm not sure that I understood the overarching story or meaning of the images, but there is no denying the uncomfortable power of them, making AMEN unlike any other hidden object game that I have previously played.

Interesting experience. Do be warned though that this (as a complete piece) feels more like a creative output for the developer rather than being made for a player. There are lots of encrypted texts; which I'm assuming aren't exactly meant to be deciphered, or even form a cohesive lore when actually deciphered and put together. If I'm assuming wrongly, the sheer quantity of the encrypted texts dissuade the player from going after them anyway. I personally did check out the obvious, non-encrypted Youtube links but they seemed to be telling of other concepts that were loosely related to the themes of the game. So I don't suspect they form a tangible storyline. Overall though, this feels like the dev's culmination of their experience with making games like these and their own style of art. I can definitely see how it could be made better, but this form of art isn't really about that. Also props to the dev for uploading a game shorter than Steam's refund timer. I'd say if this interests you, try it out. It's really cheap and goes on sale for even cheaper, and you can always refund it if you really want your 1 dollar back.
