Wailing Heights

The art style, the atmosphere, the music, the dialogue... is right up my alley. I've had this game for a few years now, I keep opening it up and playing it in small increments because it just drags and the puzzles drag.. and I just have to cut my losses and acknowledge that it's not a game that I can just get lost in. It's clunky when you're switching over to the characters 'other' form, the puzzles get repetitive and the missable achievements / items are almost off screen.

Really wanted to enjoy this but just couldn't. The controls are worse than clunky and while the music is charming the first few times you hear it, having to hear the entire possession tune every single time you swap between characters pushed me straight over the edge. it wasn't bad enough that movement was unpleasant, not bad enough that how you interact with things/npcs and use your monster ability was all done with an infuriating control scheme, no - they have to trap me for seconds at a time while I wait repeatedly to swap to someone else to solve strangely constructed puzzles. No master list of what I've got for each person huh? Cool... I'll trial and error my way through everything because interaction-friendly things don't stand out against the back, middle, or foreground. Hidden things offscreen when you don't make clear in set design where I am and am not allowed to move? Two hours of this is good. No more for me.

interesting gameplay concept, enjoyable moderate difficulty puzzles. definitely deserves more recognition

we need chinese, we need chinese, we need chinese. 我们需要中文。游戏估计不错，但是字太多了，难说爱。 202304，steam，steam掉卡抵扣，t a o宝，支付宝红包，hxxxx，indie gala，daily indie game，fanatical，杉果，它处自定义包入的本体加全dlc约4元。爱人如己，目前就这，看以后追评。有中文的游戏请耐心自研体验乐趣，攻略指南尽量不用。不建议使用外挂，插件，作弊之类的，游戏都要这样搞，那现实里那更是如此了。兄弟萌，强烈建议不要第三方平台的小店买y u额，通过饰品等挂steam市场转的，高概率red信乃至封号，且行且珍惜。

I wish steam offered a neutral option for games just like this. it's not a terrible game, but I really did not understand what this game was going to be when I bought it. I expected it to play more like a point and click game, even in a character controlled way. But i was very wrong, music and collecting lyrics is a way bigger element than i realized, you don't collect items or do any crafting. You collect 3 lyrics per song to essentially cast spells to take over playing as other characters to use their unique skills to progress the game further. I don't hate this game, but i didn't really like it either, and wouldn't personally recommend it if you're a fan of classic point and click games.
