Beyond the Sky

Печальная сказка о девушке с волосами цвета луны, коварном волке и путешествии через мрачный лес. Непростой набор гололомок, каждая из которых — вызов мозгам и терпению. Текстовая адвенчура с философским смыслом, которую вполне можно растаскивать на цитаты. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1741140715 Это — «Beyond the Sky».

Приятного ознакомления![/code] [b][h1]Сюжет[/h1][/b] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1741141009 Итак, в темном-темном лесу, в высокой-высокой башне жила девушка по имени Селена... и скучала. В самом деле, поживи хотя бы месяц в башне — еще не так взвоешь. :) И решила дева юная, что хватить топтать бренную землю, пора и на Луну! К счастью, на шее у нее — внезапно! — оказался волшебный камень, способный доставить ее в царство нимф и звезд, а снизу раздался заискивающий голос таинственного кого-то, предлагающего отвести Селену к храму Луны. Не подозревающая о подвохе девушка согласилась... И вот так, собственно, началось ее приключение. Предупреждаю сразу: читать придется много, а уж разобраться во всех перипетиях сюжета удастся хорошо если к самому финалу. Впрочем, в игре доступен русский язык, качество перевода удовлетворительное (заметила лишь один серьезный косяк... к сожалению, он был внутри особо заковыристой головоломки, что мешало ее разрешению — пришлось пользоваться подсказками знающих людей), так что, думаю, особых неприятностей сия обязанность вам не доставит. [b][h1]Геймплей[/h1][/b] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1741141273 Классический «point-and-click», по мере получения героиней новых возможностей расширяющий спектр инструментов, но у него есть две особенности — большой объем текста и весьма заковыристые головоломки... да одна загадка со струнами арфы чего стоит! Подсказки в игре есть, но не прямые, а, скорее, косвенные, так что голову поломать придется изрядно... я вот при первом прохождении мучалась часа четыре. :) В этот раз вышло быстрее, так что спешу подбодриь неофитов: ничего сверхъестественного, окромя логики, игра от вас не потребует. Короче, почувствуйте себя Гермионой Грейнджер в первой книге о Гарри Поттере. Единственное, что в игре реализовано не слишком удобно — нет опции подсвечивания интерактивных элементов, поэтому приходится водить мышью по всей локации, гадая, на что тут можно нажать. К счастью, предметов на местности не так уж много, и очень быстро отучаешься реагировать на всякие грибы и колокольчики, уделяя внимание кустам, камням и золотой рыбке на дереве. Нет, ну а почему нет?.. [b][h1]Графика и музыка[/h1][/b] Нареканий нет: рисовка своеобразная, но весьма приятная, анимация хоть и скудная, но, учитывая медитативный характер игры, не вызывает раздражения и скорее создает атмосферу этакого кукольного представления. Музыка тоже оказалась к месту — она печальная, трогательная и, учитывая, с чем именно борется Селена на протяжении всей игры, создает нужное настроение. [b][h1]ИТОГО[/h1][/b] Это непростая игра, игра-притча, игра-наставление. Она полна мудрости и древнегреческих мифов, волчьих зубов и печальных призраков. Повстречайтесь со Смертью и послушайте песни менестреля, накормите голодную лису и не забудьте как следует держаться за гриву гиппогрифа, когда крылатый зверь унесет вас по ту сторону неба... [b][h1]Общая оценка: ОТЛИЧНО[/h1][/b]

This point&click adventure is extremely hard in terms of brain puzzles, probably the hardest one I ever played. When I say hard, I mean like reading 15 pages of notes to decipher the riddle, figure out the color for like 25 ingredients, then mix the colors in your mind to label several jars. I have seen this type of puzzle before, but it was maybe 5 times smaller in terms of variables, plus there are other puzzles of similar difficulty. That is assuming that you have the patience to read the walls of text over and over, although I like the art and the writing behind them. I am not necessarily saying it's a bad thing to have a challenging puzzle, but I don’t want them to be so hard that I have to deduct the solution on paper. Unless you don't mind using a walkthrough (which I do cuz I am stubborn), be prepared for some head scratching... It could use a skip option. [i] Beyond the Sky [/i] so far strikes me as a very unique and unorthodox adventure game. Let me explain. You know how in traditional adventure games you have tools like inspect, observe, interact and talk? Well, here your character has to learn those basic things from another character, which is unique, I'll give it that. It adds an interesting dynamic to the game where you have to consider your new abilities. Perhaps you came across a character, but you did not have the ability to talk, so you will need to return to that character when you obtain that ability. Personally, I really enjoy its narrative, a lot of philosophical views and complex undertones. The game uses its soundtrack really well, I was instantly immersed in the game from the title screen. Not only it has a good atmosphere, but the story is also very creative, maybe too creative (<.<)... [h1] Pros: [/h1] + good atmosphere / very nice soundtrack + very creative narrative, if you like philosophical views + very unique concept (uncovering basic senses) + charming art style, in my opinion + achievements [h1] Cons: [/h1] - a few very hard puzzles (a lot of reading and deducting) - somewhat cryptic [b] Initial Impression:[/b] I was hoping to beat this game for this review, but after staring at these jars and notes for 40 minutes my brain is fried (and that is after a 25-minute chess puzzle). Personally, I think this game is enjoyable, but I suspect that not everyone will be so kind. It's a very weird game as far as adventure games go, perhaps too unique for its own good. This one might be for the diehards of the genre. [code]Review By: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31294838-Hidden-Gem-Discovery/ [/code]

More interesting reviews on our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33843777//] Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page[/url] I fell in love with Beyond the Sky literally in the first few minutes of the game. With all that I was somewhat wary of the appearance of the main character in the screenshots, the original graphics, but when the game started, it all became clear and correct at once. Wonderful and skillful presentation of the material, a very correct approach to the presentation of the "dark" fairy tale / The last time the fairy tale so fascinated me in "King's Quest" Chapter 1, it is very noticeable that the developers are guided by the old-school style of plotting the fairy tale, by playing around in the new fashionable trends. The adventures of the girl Selena, who was tricked into the forest by the Wolf, are filled with some kind of strange and alluring philosophy, covered with darkness, like the farthest thickets of this forest, but at the same time some kindly, naive and proper cleanliness comes through. And this strange combination gives the player a very unusual gaming experience, forcing him to really rejoice and worry about the characters, to be surprised at ordinary things and calmly meet oddities, constantly making some amazing discoveries in the game world. The developers right in the description of the game directly talk about the "most difficult" puzzles. Very often, such things are written only for formality, but here in these words there is not a drop of guile. The puzzles here are really incredibly hardcore, so patience, a pen and dozens of written pages of a notebook are the minimum thing you need. The complexity of the puzzles is simply amazing, there are not so many of them, but they are huge. And with their super-complexity and large sizes, they are intelligent and incredibly logical to fit into action, without destroying the feeling of a fairy tale. However, you will suffer on them. Beyond the Sky does everything somehow so naturally and easily that it causes amazement. The game is smart in itself, it easily allows itself to send the player to the classical literary works of ancient Greece, myths, and then, effortlessly makes references to modern cinematic things. A tight lump woven from the thread of Ariadne and Arahna's cobwebs, vines, blossoming from just one word, the whispers of ghosts consisting of cold fire, and the main dream of the Moon, which shines even more brightly and in a dark forest. Gorgeous clever thing.

[i]Suddenly the eager adventure player noticed an unusual game which immediately aroused his interest.[/i] Stylistically, Beyond the Sky has some similarities to another excellent game, The Edgelands. It's a journey through a strange reality, narrated in the third person, and the game does a great job at creating the right atmosphere. The stylized graphics are quite expressive, using different angles, close-ups and skip-frame animations. There are elements of different styles: sometimes a more pastel look, sometimes a more computer-generated look. There are some subtly amusing details as well (the illustrations to the myths). The background music and sound are also very expressive. The game has inventory items and interactions with NPCs, but the emphasis is on logic puzzles. The puzzles are large and elaborate, but not very difficult. Figuring out what needs to be done and actually carrying out the task are equally enjoyable. All the necessary information is given in the in-game journal. There's no need to write anything down, as the journal can be opened at almost any moment and is interactive; at one point you'll have three separate journal windows open for cross-referencing and will be filling in the solution in the fourth window. The puzzles can be interconnected in non-obvious ways: for instance, you're given a set of items to work with, and then you might notice that something is missing. All this makes Beyond the Sky quite special.

BRAVO! Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I just finished it and started to tear up at the end. The story, art, music and puzzles work marvelously together. I am so impressed by how well thought out the entire game was. The puzzles were logical and challenging. I loved that I had to write things down with a pen and paper and really use my brain! Thank you for this breath of fresh air, please make more games like this!!!

Whoever decided to put a giant blinking circle on a dark adventure game needs to reassess their career choices. It can't be turned off. It can't be made to hide until a key is pressed or the mouse moves to the top right corner. IT. JUST. BLINKS. UNTIL. YOU. GIVE. IT. ATTENTION. It's like a flashlight in a dark room Sorry, but I'd rather play a game that lets me focus on the scene and the story and exploration instead of one trying to distract me from the scene over and over and over again

To sum it up our protagonist Selene is on a mission to the moon. The moon tells Selene to avoid a wolf but does not explain to her what a wolf is so poor dense Selene immediately makes mistakes. Selene walks slow as hell. She is not in a hurry to fulfill her dreams that is for sure. I liked this game, but these puzzles were harder than sin. If you are up for a challenge, or love walkthroughs this is the perfect point and click for you. Unlike others in the genre just clicking randomly will not grant you a win. The art style is pretty cute. Selene has eyelashes for days, color me jealous. Do not make the mistake I did and make sure you learn how to sing to plants early on from the old lady because I totally missed that achievement and I am debating weather or not I want to retry with Selene's slow attitude. Lastly, Selene needs the fear of God put into her that wolf was right she straight up rides a griffin side saddle up in the air, girl, there is fearless and there is foolish.

A very underrated game and I'm surprised it's not more popular. The story is cheesy at times, but it's still captivating. The puzzles are unique, although sometimes so much so you are lost, and one will even take about 30 minutes to complete. The visual style is also charming. It's a great game to spend about five hours with if you're a fan of the genre. You'll need to play it twice to get all achievements, though.

Point and click puzzle game in a fairy tale and mythological setting. Looks like it would be a simple story with inventory puzzles, but is actually full of satisfying logic puzzles that require just the right amount of thought to be rewarding. You get an extensive set of notes in the game that keep track of the details you need to solve each puzzle. The artwork is lovely and colorful. I did need a walkthrough a few times for some of the puzzles but overall solving them was quite satisfying. Each puzzle is quite different so you won't get bored solving the same thing over and over. I'd recommend it to any point and click fan.

Auf den ersten Blick wirkt das Spiel sehr kindlich. Das mag zum einen an der niedlich gezeichneten Hauptfigur und dem Kinderbuch mäßigen Aufbau der Story liegen, sowie der Perspektive aus Sicht des Erzählers, der das Spielgeschehen begleitet. Die einfach gehaltenen Grafik trägt ebenso zu einer bunten naiven Atmosphäre bei. Sprachausgabe gibt es jedoch leider nicht, das hätte es etwas abgerundet. Anfangs recht befremdlich für ein Point und Click ist die Kinderbuch artige Spielweise aus Sicht des Erzählers schon, (es spielt sich eben, als würde man ein Buch lesen) im laufe der Zeit versteht man aber den Sinn der gewählten Perspektive. Es geht hier Thematisch um die Auseinandersetzung von Leben und Tod, sowie der Naivität, beseitigen von Angst, schaffen von Vertrauen, Selbstfindung und der Lehre des Lebens. - Ja, was will man mehr... Die Rätsel sind logisch und nachvollziehbar aufgebaut, teilweise simpel, dann wiederum auch sehr umfangreich und zur Abwechslung vieler Spiele des Genres mal etwas knackig. Da täuscht die bunte Blümchen-Welt :-) "Viele bizarre Charaktere, mit denen interagiert werden kann" - Diese Aussage verstehe ich überhaupt nicht und finde ich doch sehr überzogen, da der gesamte Spielraum auf wenigen Screenshots geschieht und sich die Nebencharaktere wirklich in Grenzen halten... da ist bei dem Wort "viel" noch Luft nach oben würde ich sagen :-) Das Spiel an sich ist wirklich schön, die Rätsel machen Spaß und es ist mal was anderes. Für 4,5h die ich brauchte allerdings schon etwas zu kurz für mein Empfinden. Im Sale kann man hier wirklich nichts falsch machen.
