The Sorrowvirus

The game itself is good. The idea of repeating the stages is nice. But somehow I do not really know if this would fit into a "main" game. Just imagine all these levels beeing repeated over and over again to accomplish all tasks. Seems too heavy for me. It should be more the way it is at moment: simple short stories. Pros: + interesting story + graphics are nice + sound is good + flair is pretty nailing it + not too scary (you are not hunted by anything) Cons: - controls are sometimes clumsy (had difficulties lightning the candles sometimes) - story is told (notes) in a strange way, not sure if I understood what is going on - pretty easy to miss something and then you need to restart whole level Bye

The Sorrowvirus: A Faceless Short Story is a casual indie story-rich first-person adventure created by Watchmaker. You are Wyatt Heyll, a young man with a terminal illness. Wyatt’s parents give him the Sorrowvirus, “a substance that suspends the human soul in Purgatory after death; allowing them to heal due to Purgatory’s mysterious properties.” As his health and sanity deteriorate, Wyatt’s only desire is to be free, forever. Without giving too much in the way of spoilers: Wyatt, voiced by YouTube’s 8-BitRyan, is dying over and over again and must navigate Purgatory while his parents try to find a cure. There is a mature content warning that the game’s subject content deals with “difficult psychological matters relating to, but not limited to, death, suicide, and euthanasia.” A look at what is to come: Watchmaker is looking forward to showing everyone multiplayer! The plan is for the game to be full price. They have not yet determined a price but hope it will help them expand Faceless with the additional Short Stories. Bear in mind that these are placeholder names and synopses; these are the early iterations of what the Faceless Short Stories are, as outlined on the Faceless Steam store page. All of these may be subject to change. (Minus ‘The Sorrowvirus,’ of course!) The Sorrowvirus - Journey into Purgatory as Wyatt struggles to set himself free from his torment at the hands of his parents. Beyond The Shell - Explore the fallout of the Bear Valley Tragedy as the ghost of Cassandra Noble, and attempt to free her soul from the confines of one of the Soulrender’s dolls. Secondborn - Witness the birth of the Soulrender mere hours before ‘Beyond The Shell’. As Wendy Mason, explore the facility of Precipice before it became known as Heyll. Whispers of Wakeland - Endeavour to find Daniel North as Elijah Grey, venturing to the outskirts of Wakeland City, uncovering the deep, dark secrets of the Fallen Grace Church & Asylum. The Perishing of Daniel North - Fall to Purgatory one last time as Daniel North, a hard-of-hearing survivor whose hearing-aid batteries run out in this unnatural, world-bending environment. Recommended! When I first played this game, it was the demo version. About halfway through, I was so completely involved with the plot and the world in which Wyatt (the character you play) and the dolls inhabited… I had to stop there and get the full version. Save yourself the time. It is so immensely worth it to skip the demo. I’ve been gaming for a very long time. I’ve seen a LOT of good games and even more mediocre and crappy games. This game has literally had me obsessed! The theme is so rich. The developers are currently working on a multi-user version on several platforms (PC, Xbox, etc.). I can’t wait!! (Do I sound too excited? Oh, but I am!! I am HAPPY to be this excited about a game like this. It seriously hasn’t happened in a very long time!) I was also thrilled to find one of many ‘easter eggs’ when I was exploring: One of my absolute favorite YouTubers, Daz Black, can be heard when you pick up something “special” related to him. I thought this was so cool and hope this is only a hint of what is to come from this amazing talent’s involvement with this project. The one minor issue I had with the game was relating to a Steam Achievement. Still, others have gotten it, and the developer was very responsive in answering my questions with a way to resolve my problem. I truly recommend this game and foresee big things in the future for Faceless and Watchmaker. And… I WANT THOSE DOLLS! About the developer: The Surrey-born game developer, Adam Sklar (aka Sklarlight), attended Mary Hare School before going on to study Film & Television at the Southampton Solent University; during this time, he began developing his own video game series titled ‘Faceless’. In 2015, Adam won the ‘Best Screenplay Award’ from the Southampton Solent University; which encouraged him to write further, expanding upon the video game series by writing a series of novels for it. On May 30, 2020, The Sorrowvirus: A Faceless Short Story was released on Steam. In 2019, Adam was cast in his first on-screen role as Henry Percy in A Discovery Of Witches on Sky One and AMC+. A Discovery of Witches is a supernatural series based on the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. The series is in its third season and follows Diana Bishop, a witch, and a historian, who encounters a bewitched manuscript in the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Library. https://www.getrevue.co/profile/PollyjuicePatty/issues/no-spoilers-please-a-blog-the-sorrowvirus-a-faceless-short-story-updated-835565

A really great game. The game is fast paced, dizzying, and thrilling. Very intense subject matter and a fantasy story that in any other context would suspend disbelief, but like any classic it's delivered without a hint of irony. The puzzles aren't super hard - just hard enough while you're on a time limit. Again, we enjoyed it. We really enjoyed the Slenderman easter egg. Can't wait for more Faceless games.

This game is phenomenal and I love every part of it. Keep up the great work, I’m eager for more

Good time, writing is solid, gameplay is bland but; gets the job done. ♥♥♥♥ the hidden rooms though

I genuinely care for this game so much, i find the characters so endearing. I have held this game near and dear to my heart for years. There's clearly so much care put the storytelling in the gorgeous yet haunting environment , as well as what is directly stated and/or implied in the dialogue.

Único erro foi não haver tradução em português. Mas em geral não houve nenhuma dúvida que esse jogo trouxe uma história interessante e original. Até mesmo os jumpscares e puzzles foram bem trabalhados, parabéns aos Devs!
