IN THE PAGES OF THE MAZE CHRONICLES
......
“In the Dreamlands, all paths lead to the holy mountain of Kadath, where the gods dwell.
Shadowed by the mountain is the Nameless City, built on the ruins of those who came before.
There, Choron, a vagabond burdened by his past, searches for a faceless boy who haunts his dreams.
To find the boy and unravel the threads of his own destiny, Choron must solve the city's mysteries, face the Monarchs who rule the far reaches of the world and cross the veils that separate ignorance from truth.”

I like the game, I really do. The music is atmospheric, the graphics are *stunning* and the story is intriguing. Talking with people is always an adventure, and I want to keep exploring every little area. HOWEVER, I cannot recommend it as it is currently not well optimized for PC. I was dealing with slight frame-rate and stuttering issues from startup once I started moving as well as significant CPU usage. I'm talking over 75% of my CPU is used just standing in this game. Graphical settings don't adjust that number either, as I tested low to epic level graphical settings in the game. When the game is properly optimized and patched for this, I would gladly change it to a recommended game because I *love* the first taste I had of the game. I just can't recommend it with how it currently runs.
I would recommend this game to everyone but for some reason I cannot recommend it on linux at the moment, after the update 2 days ago the game stopped running on my system its a crash on startup. I have tried many different Proton layers and still cant launch, I had it working before the update on Proton Experimental.
C'est d'une beauté et d'une intelligence... Un early access qui est certes court mais qui a suffi a m'aspirer entièrement, je me sentais tellement vide après avoir joué... Mon âme est restée coincée là-bas ! À l'instar de BLACKSHARD, qui brillait par son authenticité pure et sa capacité d'immersion incroyable, HYPNOS sera bel et bien une folie furieuse. Il y a énormément d'expérimentations ajoutées qui donnent vie à chaque élément avec brio et même si parfois je trouve que la partie VN (hors Monarques et narrations abstraites) prend trop de place inutilement, tout s'emboîte de manière réfléchie donc on finit par s'y faire. Petite note par rapport à la DA de l'enclave d'Allia, qui était très rouge et sombre dans la démo mais jaune et lisse dans l'early access, ce qui m'a un peu sortie de ma fascination et a participé à considérablement faire baisser mon angoisse (d'autant plus qu'avec les éléments sonores et visuels plus loin dans le château, ça aurait été tellement plus terrifiant). C'était ma préférée donc mon avis est biaisé ! Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est un supplice d'attendre la suite parce que ce jeu est dors et déjà une tuerie. Je vous souhaite le meilleur dans son développement, vous méritez tellement de pouvoir créer sans contraintes. Merci pour ces moments de magie. PS : j'ai cru comprendre que vous aviez commencé le développement d'HYPNOS avant BLACKSHARD et que les deux étaient liés, voire même qu'il y aurait un triptyque dans le futur... OUI, PAR PITIE !!
景色が綺麗 BGMも秀逸 激しいアクションなし 難解なパズルなし ミニマップやメモ保存機能等はないけどそれはそれでいいんじゃないかと思える世界観 ⚠ただし高所恐怖症の方にはおすすめできません…⚠ トレーラーを見て惹かれたら買って良し! 今のところ自分の環境ではこれといった不具合は起きていません。 ※PCの仕様(何故か保存できなかったので手動で記しておきます) オペレーティングシステム: Windows 11 CPUブランド:Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 5 225F RAM:32 GB ビデオカード:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 メインVRAM:8 GB
i am seriously in love with the art style of both the 3D models, landscape, and the 2D art itself. It's really nice seeing the rough drafts and what more there is to come. can't wait to spend more time sliding down massive mountains and exploring!
Incroyable ambiance, entre la balade et la musique, c'est du bonheur.
Jeu testé en accès anticipé, donc pas encore tout le contenu mais l'effet WAHOU est déjà présent Les décors sont immenses, grandioses et magnifiques L'histoire est cryptique mais au bout d'un moment on commence à comprendre pourquoi le monde est comme ça Un petit sentiment de jouer à un Souls-like au niveau de l'ambiance (sans les combats)
Le plus beau jeu méditatif auquel j'ai jamais joué. Encore plus beau que BlackShard. Super agréable à jouer avec ses sons et son ambiance musicale parfaite pour les fans de SF, d'architecture, de fantastique, de poésie. Ce jeu devrait absolument être compatible avec les casques VR, c'est tellement évident avec la contemplation et l'exploration visuelle à 360°, ce jeu est sublime sous tous les angles! Bravo à l'équipe et merci !
Jogo de extremo bom gosto, visualmente impecável, um simulador de caminhada em um ambiente surrealista com inúmeras interações interessantes, recomendo.
This game feels like wandering into a dream or a painting. If want to experience the feeling of exploring a surreal and beautiful world then get this game. After playing Blackshard, the best improvement is the addition of the teleportation system to speed up travel between places you've already been. The environment is reminiscent of Blackshard, but noticeably distinct to give a fresh exploration experience. I look forward to the full release in the future
