Lempo

An ok game that kinda ruins everything by including a constantly draining health meter. While I appreciate this is one of those rare horror games that doesn't require you collect matches/batteries every 11 seconds, the fact that your health is always lowering really left a sour taste in my mouth. I also wish the world wasn't so fricken huge. It's mostly empty, so you're just kinda poking around looking for interesting things to do. This is a mixed review where I can tell it was made with heart, but I will not be recommending it to my friends. Though, I should note I don't feel ripped off or anything. Just not for me.

I loved everything about this game. From the over 200 horror games i've played, this goes straight into my top 10, together with an amnesia and visage. It manages to maintain it's creepy atmosphere, it's unpredictability and the feeling of being lost throughout its whole playtime, which is impressive for a game that will take most people over 10 hours to finish. Those devs understand how horror works so well. Most horror games loose their immersion after a few hours when you start to understand the mechanics. From then on it just feels like a game too much and less like a horror experience - Not for this game! [spoiler] The concept of when you die in one of the chases you don't get to try it again keeps you in this uneasy state of not knowing what to do the next time it happens. I actually have not figured it out still, so i lost all of them but that's fine. Also ... I'm not sure if the stupid bell is just a bully sometimes by ringing without actual danger around. All i know is it drove me insane more than it helped and i love it! When you're in a pitch black tunnel, in complete silence and then suddenly a lonely little bing from this bell telling you you're not alone but you don't know if that means you should run or stand still ... 10/10, would pee my pants again. [/spoiler] Besides that, the puzzles are fun, the different locations look super pretty and not being handheld while exploring is refreshing and rewarding when finding a new point of interest every time. The only teeny tiny flaw imo is that the sounds volume is off sometimes ... some things are too loud, others too quiet. But that's really just minor details. Overall the music, voice acting and sound design in general was great as well. So yeah.. what can I say ... I'm in love with this game and it pains me that it gets so little attention. More people need to know and play this! Looking forward seeing more of those devs. I really hope they will continue making games! <3

The game would be awesome and the graphics ARE good and it runs well. I just can't stand how your health constantly lowers. Should really be an option to turn it off. I bought the game to explore and follow the story. Not move at a snails pace because my characters health bottomed out or to die repeatedly because I wondered off exploring. I had to quit playing for now because it annoyed the crap outta me. Why play a game that just annoys you? I figured surely on easy I'd have more time to just wonder around and take in the sights. Guess not. I'll give it another try in a couple days.

会社員の主人公ポールが退社時に会社の近くの森にて不思議な動く光を追いかけて 異空間メッツァンペイットに迷い込んでしまうというストーリーで始まるホラーアドベンチャー。 日本語字幕あり。 良いところ まあまあ悪くないグラフィックとシチュエーション。 不気味なクリーチャーモデル。 割と広いマップ。 悪いところ 説明不足な面と難解な謎解き。 常に低下し続ける体力。 二か所ほど高難易度アクション。 敵AIの微妙さ。 クリア済 ゲーム説明だがメインはクリーチャーLEMPOが徘徊する森を探索して現実世界に戻るゲーム。 ではあるのだがメインはパズルや謎解きで最初のステージである森でも敵が出てくるのは後半になってから。 謎解きは90年代の名作ADVであるMYSTみたいな謎解きといえば分かる人はわかってくれると思う。 ひらめきや集めたファイルやアイテムを駆使し謎を解いていく面が大きい。 暗い森の探索ということで明るくするライトは ライター(制限なし)・懐中電灯(バッテリーにて制限あり)・ブラックライトストーン(見えない文字を浮かび上がらせる) の三種類で初期装備のライター以外はゲーム中にて入手。 このライターは絶妙な明るさでこのゲームの薄暗い森の探索という雰囲気にあってると思う。 グラフィックも相まって悪くないと思った。 マップも広く実はシチュエーションも森やお城に教会と幅広く異世界感はある。 マップが広いので探索面を重視してた自分の勘違いもあるが最初は何をどうしたらいいのか全く理解できなかった。 序盤もイベントをこなすまでホラー演出は3つほどしかなく 攻略サイトやSteamのガイドを見て謎解きメインゲームなのかと理解。 実績をみてもゲーム開始の森に入ったのが89％で最初の謎解きである小屋に入った人は65％とこの時点で 謎解きメインと理解できた人がいなかったのが分かるレベルである。 この最序盤で詰まる人が多いみたいなので解説すると 謎の光を追って小屋に到達すると小屋の入り口に謎のメモが貼ってあり メモの中身は鼻・右手指・目と書かれてるだけ。 小屋は鍵が掛かっており郵便受けには3桁のダイアル錠がかかっておりこのメモはダイアル錠のこと。 正解は152(鼻は1つ指は5つ目は2つ)で入力すると小屋の鍵が手に入り小屋に入れるといった具合である。 回収したファイルの裏に答え丸出しの謎解きもあればこんな風にひらめきが求められるのも多い。 暗い森を移動するということで体力が常に低下し続ける。 回復アイテムのキノコは豊富に落ちてるし完全回復蛇の血がセーブポイント近くあるのでそこまでと最初は思ったが セカンドエリアくらいだとクリーチャーがそこいらで徘徊してて 体力が低下しまくってると接近した敵からの攻撃で突然死みたいな感じになったのがあった。 ホラーゲームなので理解はするが良し悪しな面あるなと感じた。 セカンドエリアにある沼地でクリーチャーが徘徊しておりその沼地の入り口の牢獄に囚われた光を開放し クリーチャーが入ってこれないバリアポイントを数点作ってもらいポイントを移動しながら沼地を抜けるというのがあるが これが中々難易度が高くクリーチャーの移動が早いこと早いこと遠方からすさまじい速さで追いかけてくる 入ったバリアポイントの前から全然移動しないことも。 アクションゲームとしてもかなり難易度は高い。ちなみにこの沼地を抜けた実績取得率は25％と脱落者多数でのレベルである。 終盤に色が変わると落ちる床を上っていく場所があるのだが後半は色の変わり方が二パターンになっており しかも変わるタイミングが絶妙なタイミングで変わるという意地悪さである。 プレイ動画を挙げてる人もここでミスする人が多いのか編集してる人が多い。 何もここで難易度が高いアクションをぶち込まなくてもと思う。 沼地のクリーチャーもだが延々をプレイヤーを追いかけて恐怖感をだすのはいいのだが 画面が暗いうえに攻撃を受けると視界が狭まり何が起こってるのかわからない。 クリーチャーのAIにも急に現れどこまで逃げても追いかけ来たりかなり近くに来ても反応しなかったりムラが大きい。 最初は森の中で敵に逃げながら軽い謎解きをし脱出するDbD(デッドバイデイライト)ライクな雰囲気ホラーゲームかと思ったら MYSTライクなガッツリ謎解きゲーだったという誤算。 この謎解きの難しさとアクションのつらさからかクリア実績の取得率は16％とかなり低い。 難しいのであんまりお勧めできない作品ではあるのだがそこまで理不尽でもなく 攻略ガイドやプレイ動画の解説を見てそういうことかと納得したりしてプレイしてると 昔ながらの攻略本を読んでプレイする古くさいADVゲームなんだなコレと思うとそこまで批判する作品でもないと感じる。 ※ヒント ミッションで精髄を回収するとあるがこれは最終盤に取得するので気にしなくていい。(演出的なもの) あとプレイに行き詰まったらSteamのガイドでBlindGuyMcSqzy氏が実績攻略ガイドを書いてるのでそれを読めばいいと思う。

[u][h1] Review [/h1][/u] [h3]°General°[/h3] LEMPO is exactly the kind of game I was looking for. A game that you find once a year. A game that invites you to explore and rewards you with secrets, collectibles and lore clues. A game in which you are constantly tense due to the atmosphere and during which you still have to solve some very elaborate puzzles. A game that has interwoven its lore with the puzzles and the whole world around it. A game that makes me want to read through the pages I've found because I really want to put all the pieces of the lore together. A game for anyone who wants to complete 100% and also for anyone who simply wants to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible. This is one of the few games in a long time that has captivated me to complete it and collect all the Lighters, all the Mylings, all the souls etc., not least because of the wonderful graphic atmosphere and harmonious sounds. [h3]°The Game°[/h3] We start as Paul in his office and are actually on our way to a well-deserved evening off. When we suddenly find ourselves lost in the forest, the story picks up speed. Once lost, the first thing to do is to get an overview, a feel for the map and work our way from clue to clue and puzzle to puzzle. Many of the puzzles are well thought out, original and have various levels of difficulty. As soon as you think, yes, the game should be coming to an end, it just keeps going and you're in a new area to explore and looking for stuff. Global puzzles ensure that you sometimes return to familiar areas and you can finally complete the missing piece for the unsolved puzzle, so that the mystical veil continues to lift and the secret of the world of Lempos is revealed piece by piece [h3]°My Experience°[/h3] I was on stream with a few friends and viewers when unexpectitly the devs got on chat and apprciated that I was streaming. We all had a good chat and a good time. The devs are very friendly, humble and just enjoyed having someone play their masterpiece. The project is a matter close to the devs' hearts, which we have seen time and again in the coherence of the game. I hope you get all the recognition you deserve. Thank you for enriching our lives a little!

An interesting exploration puzzle game that dips into Finnish mythology. It gave me SCP and Control vibes, while not being a carbon copy of either. The puzzles are challenging but fair, with most of them either having the clue to a solution nearby or in readily-accessible documents, or taking a small bit of challenge to work out. I enjoyed the fact that enemies were present but not constant, but a handful of chase sequences punctuated by more passive, static enemies that were easy to avoid once you knew what you were looking for. Other reviews mention the constantly draining health/vitality stat. To be brutally honest, the accessibility of items to refill vitality is pretty fair if you explore well and you pay attention to your surroundings. There were a couple of points where I had to make careful choices about rationing my consumables, but within a short period of time I had refilled my stocks and was off again, so the pressure from the draining stat was more flavour than actual concern. Do recommend playing with a Finnish friend alongside if you have one. The ability to have on-the-fly translations and explanations of terms and names is a great enhancement.

В этом лесу сгорели не только предохранители, но и моя жЕпа. Ярым любителям душноты - зайдет

A beautiful game, with a lot of effort and love behind it. It had an incredibly unique story in which I was completely immersed in. I completed Lempo in just about 15 hours, without any hints or walk-throughs whatsoever. I WILL SAY THOUGH: You need an immense amount of patience to play this game. Being lost in a forest, you will do a LOT of just wandering around (Similar to Subnautica), however you are greatly rewarded with useful items for exploring around. The puzzles are very difficult and abstract at times but satisfying to complete.

Salut les gamers, Lempo est un bon jeu d'horreur d'exploration avec des petites énigmes et des objets à trouver pour avancer mais où l'on ne vous aidera pas. Vous êtes dans des zones assez grandes où ça sera à vous de vous débrouiller et j'ai trouvé ça vraiment plaisant ! Pour les graphismes rien de fou mais après tout quand on est dans un bon jeu au bout du compte on voit que ce n'est pas le plus important. N'hésitez pas à farfouiller chaque recoin du jeu pour trouver tous les objets utiles et inutiles qui sont éparpiller pour le plus grand plaisir des explorateurs ! Bon jeux à tous !!!

masterful design. rarely has a game been able to captivate me to its story and world this well
