The Nameless City

Like the story it is adapted from, this game feels like something in between a dream and adventure. Game play is mostly exploration with some relatively easy puzzles. The Nameless City can be completed in a little over an hour, but I revisited it for a couple of further play-throughs. The mood, the music and the narration are all worth re-experiencing.

Jogo muito bom, e fica melhor ainda se você souber ler em inglês apesar de ser um inglês antigo e difícil dos livros do Lovecraft. Por enquanto é a melhor e única adaptação que já joguei de um livro.

a pretty short (about an hour) scary eldritch horror game. Though I would say this one isn't really trying to be scary with it's imagery. It's more about the story and the path towards the nameless city which is... somewahat underwhelming and more artsy and leaves a lot of things to be desired and upon the imagination. Well with all that said I can't say I was bored, just that I wish I could see more. The game's ending is satistactory enough, but again could have been done better, all in all this is a nice 3/5 lovecraftian pixel-ey game My rating: [b]3/5[/b]

Ma foi on a ici une bonne retranscription de l'ambiance ressentie à la lecture de la nouvelle du même nom, particulièrement dans le traitement sonore, pour peu que l'on fasse partie des amateurs de Howard Lovecraft. Ce dernier point (ainsi qu'avoir lu la nouvelle éponyme) étant pour ainsi dire un prérequis pour réellement apprécier ce petit jeu. Sans cela je doute qu'i puisse être apprécié à sa juste valeur. Personnellement j'ai envie de relire la nouvelle avec la bande son du jeu histoire de boucler la boucle. PS Devs très sympathiques. J'ai eu un souci avec un point de sauvegarde apparemment corrompu, je me suis retrouvé bloqué et on m'a envoyé une save pile là où j'en étais mais non corrompue et j'ai pu finir le jeu. Les quelques échanges que j'ai eu avec Paradnight Studio ont été très sympas. Typiquement le genre de studio indé que j'aime soutenir.

A rather enjoyable experience. A little confusing at times where to go, but I liked the art and sound direction. Would have preferred there be no AI art. I get that it's trying to invoke uncanny imagery but I'm pretty sure I saw a zombie chicken at one point, and that just took me out

A very cool little game, especially if you are into Lovecraft. About an hour of gameplay, which may seem short but this is based on a short story so I appreciate that nothing was added. If you are familiar with Lovecraft or weird fiction in general, I think you will find this to be very in-line with the themes of the genre. A feeling of dread, a place best left forgotten. Very atmospheric, no enemies or jump scares. The low poly graphics are actually an interesting touch, but they could be a little disorienting at times. Also really appreciate the devs removing old genAI assets and their stance on AI in general.

Pretty true-to story adaption of the Lovecraft book, some tensions as you rush between puzzles losing sanity but is recoverable. I'd say get it on sale, you won't have much replay value 3-5$ makes sense

A short puzzle game with interesting story and good voice acting.

Very short but well made horror game. Enjoyed its slow build up and pleasant voice action.
