Ein Mann muss im viktorianischen England feststellen, dass er bei seinem Ausflug fernab der Zivilisation sowohl seine Frau als auch seine Kinder verloren hat. Wie leicht zu vermuten ist, begibt er sich auf die Suche nach diesen, wo er an ein mysteriöses Anwesen gerät, welches allerhand Geheimnisse birgt. Er wird seine Familie finden, nur muss er dabei noch die Geheimnisse des Anwesens enthüllen. Die Geschichte ist für sich genommen nichts Besonderes, aber durchaus unterhaltsam erzählt. Die Graphik des Spiels ist im Stil einfacher Pixelart gehalten und das im vollen Umfang. Stilistisch ist es vollumfänglich im Stil alter Adventure Spiele gehalten. An die verschiedenen Schauplätze wird sich dementsprechend durch Pfeile bewegt und Bewegung besteht in der Graphik selber nicht. Es hat definitiv seinen Charme und ist für die Stimmung des Spiels und für die Handlungsräume passend gewählt. Die zu lösenden Rätsel des Spiels sind grundsätzlich lösbar ohne übermäßige Schwierigkeiten zu bereiten. Was dabei jedoch beachtet werden sollte, ist, dass es sich lohnt, Gegenstände mehrfach anzuklicken, da nicht immer jeder aufnehmbare Gegenstand mit dem ersten Klicken auch ins Inventar kommt. Das kann leider dazu führen, dass einige Rätsel höhere Hürden haben ohne dieses Wissen als mit diesem Wissen. Auch kann es vorkommen, dass manche Gegenstände erst erreichbar sind, wenn ein bestimmter Punkt innerhalb des Spiels erreicht ist, was mitunter zu leichten Irritationen führen kann, da einem in diesen Fällen oftmals bereits bewusst ist, dass mit den betreffenden Objekten im Spiel etwas anzufangen ist. Insgesamt ist The Coruption Within für alle, die Spiele in Pixelart spielen, eine Empfehlung, nur sollte bedacht werden, Gegenstände wiederholt anzuklicken, falls sie zwischenzeitlich relevant geworden sind.
Eerie vibes, wonderful atmosphere, beautiful music. Grotesquely colourful old style visuals that work so well. Point and click deliciousness with a great story. Yes I got stuck a couple of times, but this is a game very much like adventure games of days gone past. I expected to get stuck, and it didn't detract from the experience for me.
I appreciate the art style and ease of use for the controls. However, for a point and click game, this is far too linear to be enticing. The font is too obnoxious to want to keep reading. The story is too boring and rushed to want to read even if the font was more legible. The "puzzles" give way too much exposition for their to be any critical thinking on the players part, making me initially believe I would not be the appropriate demographic, but when one of the opening shots contains [spoiler] a hanging corpse [/spoiler], it is clear good intentions were there to make a good, point and click "adult" game, but it all essentially falls flat and misses the mark.
It's an enjoyable enough single-sitdown inventory puzzle adventure. The graphics are competent, the story and writing are good enough, the music pretty good, and the puzzles fair. It's short (an hour or 2 tops) but worth picking up at sale price.
A nice little diversion for a couple of hours. Point and click mystery. Search for your missing family and uncover strange happenings in a remote mansion. The story itself is fairly simple but enjoyable enough. It is very short (I completed it in full in just over 2 hours), so wait til it's on sale.
Was honestly a really nice game. It was a bit short and felt like I was rail roaded sometimes but overall I had some enjoyment with this game and it was wonderful.
6/10 中规中矩avg解谜 出门玩倒霉丢了老婆孩子,进洋馆解谜找家人的游戏。解谜思路其实很简单,但是调用了不少英语世界常识所以有时候还真想不到…以及要搜刮的物品还真不少,落下了就容易悲剧死档;经常有交互点需要多次触发才有东西可拿!!!触发剧情记得回去找npc对话。基本细心一点还是比较容易搜全的。 美术很有特色,实际上画面也没有什么太过惊悚的表现,safe!
I'll give the game a thumbs up, but it's nothing special. The writing is all over the place and I didn't like the fact that progress was determined by unrelated actions – for example, to make a character appear you have to do something else that has nothing to do with that character. Yes, it's still a decent point-and-click game, but keep your expectations low.
This guy is great at telling stories. I really love the universe and atmosphere that conveys those games and this studio. (music, drawings, colors, palette, retro pixels, 80 style) (happy he could voice Neon Hearts City and Twilight Oracle which are great games) This one is ok. (needed a guide the whole time) This one was less immersive than the other games (more recent) of cosmic void, especially linked to less convicing models and drawings and also music which is the asset of those games when there is no voice overs. (excepted intro and ending) for obvious reasons. Now waiting the new game from this studio. officially played them all already...New "Midnight Saturn" incoming, seems to have all the ingredients combined from all those great games. The best is to come with this great indie studio !!!
I really enjoyed this game and the retro vibes it conveys. I'd definitely play other similar games, that reconnect older players to their childhood. Lovely ambiance and interesting puzzles too.
