Nightmare Frames

Давно и безуспешно искал поинт н клик с хоррор-тематикой, а эта команда, оказывается, в основном такие и делает. Главный герой - разочаровавшийся в жанре ужасов сценарист, которому поручают найти самый страшный фильм в истории. В процессе поисков он обсирает всё, что видит. Также в наличии интересные факты о Голливуде. Из минусов можно выделить отсутствие озвучки - даже в более скромных проектах в дешевый микрофон удосуживаются попердеть. С другой стороны, в описании студии написано, что она состоит из одного испанца, в таком случае бюджет в размере бутылки сангрии оправдан.

Очень понравилась игра. До этого прошла The Dark Rites of Arkham, но эта показалась интереснее и оригинальнее по сюжету. Квестовая часть несложная, все решения логичные. И довольно приятное музыкальное сопровождение

Siempre me han gustado las aventuras gráficas, pero se me dan fatal, lo que me acaba frustrando y haciendo que no las disfrute. Este no ha sido el caso, es un juego bastante asequible (no tiene puzles muy enrevesados, ni tampoco puedes quedarte bloqueado, como ocurría en algunas de las aventuras clásicas), tiene una buena historia, arte y una banda sonora fantástica.

It's a good point and click adventure if you like point and click adventures. Give it a chance, because it starts a little slow, but gets better as it goes along. The entire first part in Hollywood is actually kind of frustrating and boring, but it does pick up. The story gets increasingly creepy and nasty as it goes on (after leaving the first area). If you do play through the slow build up, you get to increasingly weird locations and classic horror and it's actually quite a good story. In terms of the puzzles, it was mostly standard stuff, but there were a few occasions where I was stuck due to missing something in a repeatedly vistited area.

Atmosphärisches Setting, eher leichte bis mittelschwere Rätsel und eine großartige Story.

It's a shorter Point & Click but overall well done. Horror is hard to do in a point & click environment and it does a great job at being disturbing. Has a real feel of an 80s Horror / Thriller and is packed full of fun little easter eggs and references to both 80s Hollywood and horror cinema. The puzzles themselves are fairly well done (not too much backtracking, a bit more pixel hunting than I wanted but it wasn't terrible). My only complaint seems to be the lack of a hotspot finder so a few times I was stuck because I didn't realize there was a secondary exit. Overall writing was well done although there was one part that seemed a little rushed (a caretaker refuses to let you into the graveyard and that dialogue is kinda funny. "I'm not going to do it and there is nothing you can do about it." the hint is that you have to come back later after doing objectives but it was a little on the nose. HOWEVER other then that it felt good. Basically if you want a Point & Click version of Alan Wake that isn't too long and has solid writing and puzzles, this is your jam.

Intriguing story, sensible puzzles, and the gore was too pixelated to be a deal breaker.

Nightmare Frames brings a very packed, very dark atmospheric horror adventure. The plot is about tracking down a rumoured "lost film" the work of a mysterious horror film director who disappeared along with it. The narrative is immersed in the production world of Horror films, and it pays it's tributes well! The story was tense, harsh, unapologetic at times, reminiscent of 80's horror. I was fooled by the cozy pixels and then was genuinely unsettled during some events/scenes. I maybe wish I didn't have to get a full view of that one crime scene next to the river. Overall I thought it built it's atmosphere and tension very well, rich areas, wonderful pixel art, cool soundtrack, memorable npcs and a deeper kind of relationship between all characters. I bought this game as part of a developer's bundle and can't wait to play more :)

I played this right after Dark Rites Of Arkham and have to say I see in these two games pretty much the perfected p&c formula, broken down to only what is needed regarding how to interact with the world! I think this way the p&c genre will become timeless, because it is an uncomplicated way to tell and transport a great interactive story without getting people needlesly stuck because you have to guess if you have to push, pull, open or close something! So the gameplay ist streamlined to perfection in my eyes, the story of this particular game is right up my alley, only one little thing bugged me: the beginning is pretty slow and uninteresting. I personally would have put everything up until you meet the old rich lady into a cutscene, but that might be just me. For p&c fans and people who like logic puzzles and good stories: BUY THIS! ...and Dark Rites of Arkham, thats even better imo!

Man kann nicht abstreiten, dass hier viel Herzblut in das Spiel geflossen ist, aber es ist letztlich ein Sammelsurium aus allen möglichen Ideen, von denen maximal das mittlere Drittel des Spiels etwas mit der Spielbeschreibung zu tun hat. Viele Sachen sind einfach nur da, um da zu sein, und sind einfach nur ohne Zusammenhang zusammengewürfelt. Was mich am meisten gestört hat, waren aber die zuuuuuuuuuuu langen Dialoge. Teilweise musste man 10 Minuten einfach nur warten und lesen. Es wirkte teils mehr wie eine Visual Novel mit interaktiven Elementen.
