A game that touches on difficult topics such as depression, alcoholism and suicide. Unfortunately, however, the continuous level loadings and graphics that can make some players nauseated make everything less than pleasant. Appreciated the color range in some scenes, but they are repeated too often within the game. Valid only if discounted 6/10

I love walking sims. I love games that touch on tricky topics. This game does both, and it also has moments of beauty and sadness. In theory, I should love Anamorphine. Unfortuntely, the current version has too many issues to recommend it. These issues include bad event triggers, unclear ways forward, repeated content, and disorientation. With the bad event triggers, sometimes you'll even be standing or looking in the right place but the next scene just won't start, so you end up backtracking unnecessarily. This can mean wasting minutes, losing the flow of the game, and generally becoming unnecessarily frustrated. The unclear pathing is also quite a problem. While the game is set up to have *some* of this on purpose, so that you as a player feel some of the same disorientation as your character, overall it feels less thought out. You end up backtracking when you don't need to. At times, you can't tell which way to go to progress the story, only to find out that there's a path that looks just like the one you were already on but instead moves you along in the story. One of the nice things about walking sims is that you can get treated to some cool "mini game" style areas where you explore different aspects of the world (like the different character stories in What Remains of Edith Finch). Unfortuntely, in Anamorphine, the developers have chosen to reuse problematic game elements, forcing you to replay "mini game" style areas over and over. Even though they provided some differences, the overall effect feels like one of repetition and tedium without any "aha!" or breakthrough moment. Sadly, the last of the four caused me to stop the game: disorientation which caused motion-sickness. I would have liked to finish it, but simply wasn't able to get past the area without feeling nauseous. I think this could have been fixed with better play-testing and pathing. With luck, future versions will address these issues and help Anamorphine live up to its promise.

Anamorphine breaks new ground in so many ways that it's hard not to recommend it to anyone who likes alternative and experimental games. You progress through the story fluidly without any loading, cut or jump: instead, there are seamless transition across time and space that put you in a dreamlike feeling of not knowing how you got to where you are, nor how to leave. It is beautiful and anxiogenic at once, and it reminds me of the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in that regard -- that's definitely a compliment. Overall, the surrealist imagery does a surprisingly good job of walking you through the somber themes of addiction, loss and escapism. For a narrative built on that subtlety and nuance, it's a feat of storytelling to entirely avoid words and still get the emotion across. I only wish there had been more time and scenes to dig deeper into Elena and Tyler's psyches. Even though I understood their distress, I came just a bit shy of truly identifying and empathizing with them, except for one or two brief but truly touching moments. Regardless, Anamorphine is a giant leap forward in conveying meaning and emotion through mechanics, and I hope we'll see more of those mind-bending adventures from Artifact 5 in the future.

I really like the idea of Anamorphine, with the variable set pieces that adapt to your progress through the game, and it's visually a nice game as well. So, all positives. As of right now, I have two rooms complete, but I also had to stop playing at that point. Why? Motion sickness (this is the first time I've ever experienced this with a game). It's almost like looking through somebody's glasses that are just a little too strong for you. That sensation. If I had to guess, I'd say that it really being made for VR despite my not using that function, might have something to do with it, but that is purely conjecture. What isn't conjecture is that I can't continue playing this until/unless something having to do with motion resolution or what have you is addressed. One other note: when I first opened this, it was in default max settings, and part of the screen was not accessible to me as a result. However, I was able to access the settings and lower the resolution and make some other adjustments, exit the game, and re-enter with it having saved my settings. Anyway, I know the devs are still actively working on this game, so I hope at some point, the fruits of that labor will be a game that is playable for me. If so, I definitely will revisit this review. As of now, I will simply rate this as a wait and see before buying and a thumbs down pending this issue potentially being resolved.

If you enjoy walking simulators and stories that are relatable and can happen to anyone then you will probably enjoy this. Some frame loss from time to time, but im sure the devs will fix it.

[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/9686972/]Follow "[b]First Person Exploration and Puzzle Games[/b]" for more games like this![/url][/quote] [i]NOTE: I did not play this game in VR[/i] Walking simulators are an inherently boring genre, meaning it's [i]really[/i] important that your game is engaging and immersive. That's doubly-true when the game (like this one) tells the story without using any words. Of the many walking simulators with no words I've played, this is the best one [i](Edit: I've now found a much better one: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/573130/Aporia_Beyond_The_Valley/]Aporia[/url])[/i]. The story was pretty good (and told well for not having words); I liked the interaction mechanic; and the music was very fitting. However, a few glaring issues still hold it back enough to prevent it from making the cut: • The reused scenery gets old fast. There's only about 5 scenes in the game that get reused ad nauseum. A few of them are cool the first time you visit them, but should not have been revisited. • Four or so times in the game, you have to bike through the level. The biking mechanics are extremely poor. Also, in every case, the scenery is really bland. Additionally, they all drone on for way too long. In every case, the biking feel like lazy time-padding. • A lack of contextual clues had me wandering around looking for where to go next sometimes. This was especially bad in the biking levels.. • The game likes to use the "teleport you to another room while your back is turned" mechanic (think "Antichamber"). Unfortunately it doesn't always work well, causing the scenery to suddenly shift, which is jarring. • The price is too high for a game that lasts 80 minutes. I was truly conflicted whether to give this game a thumbs up or down. If the above issues were fixed, I think I'd give the game a thumbs up, but then it'd only be 30 minutes. As it stands, I think you're better off trying one of the many better walking sims.

All in all, I liked Anamorphine despite the issues. It tries to escape the common trope of telling the story via notes and audiologs and is almost dialogueless, like Virginia. [VERY MINOR SPOILERS] Also like Virginia, the game uses text at at least one point, and from my point of view, here it is executed in far more interesting way. Even "looping hallway" from P.T. executed better than in many games. [VERY MINOR SPOILERS END] Some visual/gameplay metaphors, scene transitions and images are great, the story itself, while not being the most new and original, is quite good and presented with respect to its themes. It has no puzzles, only "object hunting" (mostly okay, but had problems with finding needed objects one or two times) and disorienting situations meant to represent the mental state of the main character. But it's not exactly a bad thing - after playing several experiences with frustrating puzzles it felt really nice. However, there are some problems. Game slowed down and crashed several times, but maybe it's due to my PC. I was more disappointed by several bike stages with strange collision detection that drag for too long. Some of the transitions and areas can feel repetitive, although areas naturally evolve with the plot, and you get used to transitions. It is also short. For some people it may be a problem especially since many areas are reused, but it's totally fine with me. In general, I would recommend the game if you are okay with story experiences with very light gameplay and don't mind some technical problems and repetition. I found several interesting decisions and scenes in the game and alsmost wasn't frustrated (bike rides aside, yes), so I am satisfied.
