Thrillgate

I Have changed my review from negative to positive, just because i think the game creator deserves alot of credit for making this himself. Old review below which i will edit and change once the creator updates the game. Thrillgate? more like Dullgate, i appreciate the effort by the 1 man team to make an adventure game, but i`ve given up playing this game. You cannot click thru dialogue which makes it very tedious; and then even if u accidentally click something you have said already you have to watch the whole dialogue process again wihout being able to skip past it. There is a point at the near the end of the 1st chapter where your character wont let u jump over a section of sewer, he says something like,, i cant go i am forgetting to do something, turns out you have to look at an unlocked achievement from the inventory bar, after that he is happy to jump the water?? i did not enjoy being blocked just for that. Very frustrating. Perhaps the game gets better but after i got past the 1st chapter, and into the spaceship, then i lost interest & the motivation to continue the playing game. If the author fixes the ability to skip dialogue to speed things up, i may be persuaded to play again.

Paid almost 10 euros for it. Was it worth that? NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Let's see: The interface is clunky as heck, some of the dialogue lines can be skipped, some not, and they either change too fast or too slowly. Grammar is horrible, sound design is crappy, the game does not save settings, it's defaulted to Italian language and you have to change it to English EVERY time you start the game, there's no voice acting, and the background animations are very, very bad; flying butterflies are executed with 3 frames. For a free game, it would have been just a tedious experience, but paying almost 10 euros from it, I feel straight-out robbed!

Thrillgate is a graphic adventure game that combines a classic interface with some modern gameplay aspects. It relates to the adventures of a boy living in a small village in Oregon, and it begins with a curious accident… Based on a classic graphic adventure game interface. The game is structured in 4 parts, whereby each following part is accessible after all achievements of the relevant part are obtained. Each new part is introduced by hand painted introduction tables leading the player throughout the story. Puzzles are challenging and original, and I found their difficulty level well distributed along the gameplay, whereby every section includes easier and more difficult ones in a good balance. The game is based on hand-painted backgrounds with hot spots activating mouse pointer according to the action that may be performed. The backgrounds are also hand painted, very detailed and beautiful. Also, the soundtrack is very variegated, creating the right atmosphere for each section. My congratulations to the author for both graphics and soundtrack, I especially loved the soundtrack. I have very much enjoyed Thrillgate, and I recommend everyone to jump in this great adventure!

Bello,scorrevole,divertente. Per una "vecchietta"come me che non è molto brava con i giochi,è stata una bella esperienza .

Thrillgate is a great old-fashioned adventure, the kind of game you want to play if you wanna feel that eighties Lucasarts' vibe. Best points : the atmosphere, the creativity of the storyline and the puzzles, they way the cultural references of that decade are re-interpreted in a personal and ludic way. Pretty amazing when you realize that is the work of a single person. Highly recommended !

Davvero carino, enigmi non sempre scontati e trama interessante, a volte visionaria. Belle tutte le citazioni, gioco godibilissimo!!
