The Music Machine

Apart of what I'd consider a trilogy of David Szymanski's early work, this one just like the rest really shows his insane talent for atmosphere and fantastic storytelling. Genuinely amazing stuff, play this game,

objectives were somewhat unclear but luckily the maps are small so you'll figure out what you're meant to do soon enough. creepy atmosphere... fun to play. graphics unfortunately strained my eyes a bit but thats a skill issue. David Szymanski has become a bit of a legend to me

как дэвиду удаётся придумывать такую лютейшую дичь это поразительно, заслуживает всего хайпа если он был (этого я не застала) сначала кажется, что это обычный околохоррор симулятор ходьбы, но потом постепенно окружение всё чаще шокирует и вызывает реакцию "что??????" не знаю кому не показалось страшно, я лично под конец нормально так в штаны наделала, вау всё как всегда на высоте, и визуал, и музыка, и нарративная часть, снимаю шляпу. я хоть и хорошо знаю английский и читала все диалоги только из отзывов поняла, что произошло, но я так привыкла к абсурдным сюжетам этого разработчика, очень открытым к интерпретации, что это меня особо и не смутило

Visually, atmospherically, and musically brilliant the game is let down by a story that feels like an edgy 12 year old wrote it? It's really weird, because the main characters feel completely and utterly out of place in the game's world, and the game might actually have been better without any of their dialogue at all. The visuals may have papered that over, but the game is nonlinear enough that until you do the 'right' thing, it's very unclear what you're even supposed to be doing, with large portions of the map and an entire gameplay function being nigh useless (being able to pick up and throw things, with a 'hold to throw harder' mechanic, is only relevant once). Worse still is that there is (as far as I can tell) one very specific way you can die in the game and when you do it starts you back at the beginning, and getting back to the point you died at requires a pretty substantial walk to reach again.

I think this is a standout in terms of David's narrative games, the dialogue was done tactfully and the environments were nothing short of stellar.

Really love the art direction.

Recomendado, PERO cuando haya rebajita. Los colores y como los usa, de 10, pero tampoco hay mucho más. Hay momentos que mete una chapa... Recomiendo mucho más The Moon Sliver, del mismo dev.
