Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome Collector's Edition

Would recommend this game, ending was a bit disappointing but otherwise very solid.

Decent little HOG.

Тут вот, некоторые загадки.. мне просто трудно себе представить, что кто-то реально захочет их решать, а не просто скипать

i love it!

[h1]This game is one of the best HOGs[/h1] seriously, yes it's pretty old now and is quite annoying to get fullscreen to work but the game makes up for it in its story and puzzles. [h3]Story[/h3] There are reports of young people going missing over the last few weeks on the news. You play as Sam Wilde, an investigative journalist. who was supposed to go on a date with his girlfriend Anna. However, when Sam arrives at the meeting spot, Anna is nowhere to be seen, there is just her ring and a letter reading that she has been taken to Goldvale Manor, and to go there alone if you want to see her alive. The game has you traversing through Goldvale Manor, all the while being taunted and made fun of by a man who called himself Oscar, Anna and the other missing young people's kidnapper. Oscar has speakers spread throughout the mansion to be able to speak to you from his hidden command center. while traversing the mansion, you can read crumpled notes from Oscar's childhood and newspaper articles that reveal his past, motivation and mental state. Sam also has his own notebook (as he's a journalist.) where he writes down his feelings and responses to whats happening in-game. [h3]Gameplay[/h3] well... it's just like any other Hidden Object Game. click around, solve puzzles, and appreciate the artwork. [h3]VA[/h3] The voice acting in this game is... meh, apart from one. Oscar. His voice actor clearly enjoyed his role as he played it to perfection, he really sounds like a maniac who enjoys kidnapping and embalming his victims into "works of art". [h3]Bonus Chapter[/h3] This game does have a bonus chapter that unlocks after you beat the main game. it's about 1-1.5 hours long and acts as an epilogue to the Sam vs Oscar story, with an unexpected and good twist at the end. If you don't want to play the bonus chapter and just want to know what happens, here: [spoiler] In the end, you shut off the power to the abandoned theme park and Oscar rises from a hatch in the ground. However, Oscar has put himself into one of his own embalming tubes and it begins filling with the embalming fluid. Oscar monologues about how he has already called the police, and he will embalm himself to frame Sam as the original kidnapper who kidnapped and embalmed all the other young people. Sam is framed and arrested for all the murders and kidnappings.[/spoiler]

Richtig geiler Teil meiner Kindheit. Ist noch besser als ich es in Erinnerung hatte!

大学的时候玩了很多寻物游戏，这部是我印象比较深刻的。 boss的形象塑造得很好，话痨、自恋、表演型人格，在众多变态boss当中也算变态得比较出彩的。什么叫我绑架了男主的女友让男主在救人途中听我和她演的广播剧啊（战术后仰），甚至还有罐头笑声真是绝了。boss人设：9/10 剧情十分有戏剧性，前面紧张的气氛营造得很好，但正篇结局有点儿戏了。虽然可以理解是为了番外篇的真结局作铺垫，但多少有点搞笑。番外篇更是意想不到，在WTF和这个boss这么做也不是不可能之间反复横跳。剧情：8/10 画面表现出色，不管是普通场景还是boss的作品都挺带感的，然而尸体特写画面抖三抖这个手法用多了之后有点喜感了。画面：8/10 音乐也不错，氛围渲染到位。语音是本作一大特色不得不品尝，这一部的boss说的话抵得上其他寻物游戏加起来的总和，甚至还有录音机可以回放。音效：9/10 小游戏总体还行，前面有几个重复劳动的比较无聊，后面的水平还可以。小游戏：7/10 场景比较绕，道具有不少是揣身上半天跑遍整个屋子才找到用途的。地图上有标记这点倒是很好，但hint只能在当前场景使用，不能引导路径有点不方便。尤其是有些物品藏在不起眼的角落，卡关又不知道在哪里找的时候就只能每个房间按一遍就挺烦的。引导：5/10 总体评价：8/10

Good story, but the graphics show their age, lots of backtracking, and unfortunately, there was a game-breaking glitch where I didn't receive an item after a puzzle which was imperative for progression. Unable to refund. Would rate a so-so if I was able, but as is, leaning towards negative.

Story is a bit spooky but nice. Easy HOGs and nice riddles. Played quite some time. Reduced price was nice.

10/10
