Before The Sun Rises

a failed attempt to make a game... sorry!

Кароче прикольно ничего супер имбового но это демо

Игра Before The Sun Rises — это настоящий подарок для любителей атмосферных хорроров с элементами психологического триллера. Разработчики сумели создать мрачный, гнетущий мир, который постепенно затягивает игрока в водоворот тревожных событий. Сюжет развивается неторопливо, но каждое новое открытие заставляет сердце биться чаще, а паранойя начинает подкрадываться незаметно. Графика, хоть и не поражает технологичностью, отлично передает атмосферу безысходности и запустения. Звуковое сопровождение — отдельная история: каждый шорох, каждый отдаленный стон усиливает ощущение уязвимости. Геймплей прост, но эффективен, заставляя игрока полагаться на смекалку и внимательность, а не на бесконечные перестрелки. Несмотря на некоторую предсказуемость отдельных моментов, Before The Sun Rises оставляет глубокий след и заставляет задуматься о природе страха и человеческой психики. Отличная игра для тех, кто ценит не только скримеры, но и глубокое погружение в историю.

"Before The Sun Rises" is an unambitious, unfinished and abandoned Unreal Engine tech demo, a basic third person platformer that's really more of a narrative walking sim "art experience" than any genuine attempt to make a solid game for gamers. What do you do in the game? Not much, given this is abandoned and incomplete... walk around, get pretentious, badly written and somewhat cringey narrative shoved down your throat. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. Despite not being in Early Access, it's obvious this is an incomplete product. Developers have an obligation to deliver complete, not partially done products to gamers, that shouldn't be controversial. Whatever the excuses may be, it does no service to gamers for incomplete products polluting Steam like this. It makes it harder for gamers to find complete games, and it makes it harder for ethical developers who do the right thing to find their audience. The graphics aren't great, very low quality, amateurish game assets with no polish. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 4 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? What's the verdict? This is a "nope". While it won't necessarily cost you money, the time and hard drive space it requires could be better invested in one of the many higher-quality alternatives on Steam.

гра на 5-10 хв але задумка хороша сподіваюсь колись вийде ціла гра.
