What Happened

If "Life is strange 1" and "Layers of fear" had a baby it would probably look like "What happened". I'm amazed at the game's visual design, the amount of detail is insane (for an indie developer), As for the atmosphere and the plot, the developers also did a very good job depicting a teenager's pain and loneliness, which are very intense. Some reviewers complained about the game being too high-school: well, guess what, it's a high school story, but quite mature and dark. When it comes to the puzzles, some of them are really imaginative and fun. Now, the cons. I'm all in when it comes to surreal scenes and creepy metaphors. "What happened" in that sense may stretch the formula a bit too much, being almost like a parody of walking simulators. Sometimes it seems like going deep into your own psyche means going underwater, to hell, to the jungle and to a library, and then falling through walls and walls, falling through pipes and walking down stairs and then being hunted by a shark. There's where some restraint would benefit the game big time. It seems as if the developers couldn't keep the core of the plot safe and sound while still exploring the depths of its ideas. They got lost on their way. At the same time, despite the game being bonkers and hallucinatory, it's also quite repetitive and exhausting when it comes to its dialogues and monologues. The game is way too self-explanatory and obvious, as if scared of not being clear enough. Consequently, while on the one hand it goes way too far exploring new landscapes (to the point when drug abuse, bullying, depression and suicidal thoughts seem like playing a dark Mario Bros parody), on the other hand the game suffers from being to plain, obvious and simplistic. The game is both too metaphorical and overly verbose Thirdly, "What happened" would also benefit from having better human figures and facial expressions. It's hard to sympathize with Pixar like, unrealistic creatures that still want to show cruel and violent animosity against the main character. Never too human, never too fake, stuck in an unsatisfactory middle ground, the characters lack the depth or the originality to be truly remarkable. They fail to carry the pathos and tragedy of the plot. Nevertheless, I still think "What happened" is an interesting addition to a long list of walking simulators dealing with mental health and self- /drug abuse. It definitely has its amusing moments, despite the formula being a bit too unbalanced. And the darkness it portrays is as real as can be.

This game is such a mixed bag of elements on complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Some of it's textures, lighting, and level designs are super unique and quite frankly, amazing. But the character models, animations, voice acting, and writing are not at all anything I enjoy. I don't believe it's worth the $25 price tag considering I really had to push myself to play it, but just an hour in and the harsh flashing lights and strange FOV makes me a bit motion sick to play this game. Pros: The attention to detail and lighting is really solid. But what really shines here (see what I did there?) is the level design. These set pieces are mind bending and things are constantly shifting and they're really trippy (also saw what I did there?) Because your character is on acid. He's a high school student and while I know that's a real thing, I'd say it's at least uncommon enough to say it's not really relatable for me at all. One because I'm much older now and my emo angsty days are (right) behind me and I've never had an acid trip. Although I imagine this is exactly what it's like. Cons: Here comes a mountain so prepare yourself. The writing in this is that of an angsty teenager that's mad his girlfriend is with his best friend or something. I dunno. You're tripping on acid, it's sometimes a little weird to grasp what's going on. Like, you might feel bad for the main character if he developed an addiction to drugs because his best friend slept with his girlfriend, but from what I can gather, your girlfriend left you because you have an addiction. So...that makes sense to me. It's also the little romantic dialogue bits that feel like Star Wars Episode I quality. Like any moment the game is going to cut to Naboo, but whatever. The character models are not quite as detailed as the environment and the animations are really stiff. It just feels out of place given the amazing set design. Voice acting is pretty rough. Pretty safe to say English is a 2nd language here and there's probably translation pains from the script, but all of the dialogue feels really unnatural. I honestly think this game would've been better off with just text and no voice acting at all. It's just really distracting. Yeah I know I'm only an hour in and if it was strictly just "This game is slow paced" or something. Sure. I'd probably spend more time on this. But unless the voice acting, writing, dialogue, and character animations drastically improve out of nowhere, it's safe to say this isn't a game I find enjoyable. Despite the fact that the levels are truly, really, jaw droppingly cool.

A unique limbo nightmare with some cool ideas and some things that do not work very well. But I will say one section in particular is rather scary. Lots of secrets to find and multiple endings. A decent length if you try to go for everything. I have put some hours in and I still find myself finding new things to add to the experience. While not for everyone this game is at least memorable with its shifting limbo mechanics. The voice acting at times can be a little much lol but it conveys the nightmare good enough I suppose. All in all worth a try if you like silent hill type narratives with some general spookiness and cheese added on top. My favorite part of this game is the atmosphere of the shifting limbo sections. For example the school setting goes through multiple changes that give each one a separate feel and design. Of all the ideas thrown at the wall for this project that is perhaps the one that actually stuck the landing. The game received some updates and changes after launching in 2020 but as of now I think the updates have stopped coming but still worth the try for achievements or if you enjoy nightmarish scenarios. Hope this review helped you and try this game if this all sounds interesting.

[h1]前言[/h1] 未知固然令人恐惧，但来自心中的恶魔却更可怕，恐惧其实一直都藏在我们心里，偶尔听到的一句话，别人的一个眼神，都仿佛是在议论着什么，内心似乎传来了恶魔的声音，那同样是另一个自己。 《发生了什么》（What Happened）是一款第一人称心理恐怖游戏，游戏讲述了一个深受焦虑和抑郁折磨的美国高中生所遭遇的可怕梦魇。开场剧情无法跳过，玩家就像是被拉入了其中，之后在锈迹斑斑的通道，开启人生的大门，此时可以在这里更改中文和适合自己配置的分辨率。 [h1]初见[/h1] 本作利用3D的优秀场景塑造了游戏内的世界，结实的门在被我们开启之后会自动关上，主人公将自己封闭起来所以看不到其他人，而我们以他第一人称视角所看见的，就是帽子，书包和一些自己漂浮在空中的书，是的，那是有人的。 当一个人认为自己是看不见的，那么他真的就看不到了么，不，他之所以选择性看不到，是因为受到了伤害，甚至是心理创伤，学校里我们的储物柜被踹到凹陷，而通过这里，我们来到了一个充满蝴蝶的废弃房屋，美丽的生物如果成群向你冲过来是什么样子的，这里会告诉你。 本作的人物建模其实并不好，眼神是有些呆滞的，配音和音效比较不错，不过这些其实并没有吓到我，反而是让我对游戏的剧情生出了好奇心，想要了解，究竟发生了什么。 [h1]剧情[/h1] 这部分让我了解到主人公遭受了校园暴力，而且因此患上了抑郁症，将自己的内心封闭起来，而我们应该来到的，是他的梦境，所以看到那个同学自己载到马桶里，我还近距离观看了一下，额，也许不是我干的。 这里让我第一个印象深刻的点就是一个沙盒一样的平台，幕布拉起，我们仿佛成了提线木偶，在表演着一场无声的话剧，送花给那个女孩子，花送完了，戏也落幕了。游戏中的主人公由玩家操控，那屏幕外的你呢，你有没有感觉到自己在被其他人操控着。 怀疑在心中留下了种子，生了根发了芽，朋友的背叛，同学的欺凌，烦躁一点点充斥心灵，而所有的一切甚至只是因为多疑，压抑在心中，暴力并不能解决问题，或许敞开心扉，将你的疑惑说出来，才能解开一切的误会。 [h1]体验[/h1] 本作在一定程度上可以说是一款“步行模拟器”，通过一段段的剧情对话展开，玩家只需要在场景中根据对话选择，探索到自己需要的道具，继而了解主人公的故事和进行游戏，无数储物柜那里的设定很有趣，我承认我往后退着走了，后来想起那个被砸过的地点才通过那段。 本作依然是采用jump scare方式来突然吓你一跳或者一个转场，我们会通过狭小的储物柜继而进入一个其他场景，突然的闪回或是令人恍惚的镜头视角，在无数双手或者突然的缓慢中寻找一些东西，比如无数双手中的一朵玫瑰花。 提线木偶那里的操控不太好，一直转动就像是在跳舞一样，转向有点难，不过可能是我鼠标灵敏度太高，因为是第一人称视角，可以说人物并不是很精致，表情呆滞，晕3D的小伙伴要注意。 [h1]结语[/h1] 本作的场景设计比较不错，音效和各种转场闪回相配合，想要塑造一种恐惧感，依然算是常见的jump scare方式，适合想要体验恐怖游戏的新手，第一人称视角也无疑增强了对剧情的代入感，镜头的塑造和光影效果都十分逼真。 剧情塑造十分吸引人，多疑，猜忌，似乎周围的人都对你身带恶意，继而狂躁，愤怒，甚至不可挽回，或许真的只有经历过的人才了解抑郁的痛苦，目前是有两个结局。 [code] [h1]游戏由鉴赏家[url=steampowered.com/curator/28673811]杉果点评小分队[/url]提供[/h1] 给游戏选择困难症的玩家指路 成为我们的一员[url=steamcommunity.com/groups/SonkwoClub]小组首页[/url] 欢迎新朋友[url=https://jq.qq.com/?_wv=1027&k=5zho3zK]点击加入QQ群[/url](｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ [/code]

This is a beautiful game. The visuals are stunning, and the attention to detail is awesome. Graphics, animations and special effects are 10/10. The story is good, and it addresses a very important subject. But the way it's told, it doesn't work that well imo. I finished the game in 5.4 hours, and I kept seeing the same things from start to end: how Stiles' life went off rails, the problems with his GF and his best friend, etc. I know it's important, but I got it after the first hour. Then I keep seeing the same things over and over, just told by different angles and situations, but in the end, it's almost like a recounting of the same thing. This means that I was losing interest after a while, even though I wanted to see how it ended. Gameplay has some issues too: sometimes I wasn't sure what to do, I was just running around trying doors and light switches. But I'm still giving it thumbs up. I enjoyed the experience, and again, it looks stunning.

[h1] Четыре часа терпения[/h1] Три года пытался ее пройти и вот нашел в себе силы закрыть этот момент перед новым 24 годом. Иронично, что ей кто-то смог выдать награду за лучший нарратив. Здесь нет какого-то особо визуального повествования. Мы попадаем в заунывный приход у размазни, которого представляют в таком свете, что желаешь ему смерти, чтобы все поскорее закончилось. Серьезно! Чем скучнее происходящее, тем медленнее происходит само действо будто на зло игроку.. Не нашел тут ни интересной истории, ни широкого геймплея, производящего ничего иного, кроме симулятора ходьбы пьяного и обгашенного в хлам сопляка, который оттолкнул от себя всех и вот никак не может принять себя в текущей ситуации. Почти смерти уже ему желал, но к счастью на пятом часу What happened закончилась! Спасибо, что смогла завершиться и позволить себя удалить. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3121792468 Не тратьте время. Его будет жаль..

The graphic was great, surprisingly great, the intro though.. WOW, every room and the sound, it was so great. The story was dark and emotional. I feel like some of it were a bit much. Speaking from personal experience with certain subject, I can say that [spoiler]the voice part was pretty close, and the feeling of being caged[/spoiler] was also pretty close.

月薪十万的美术跟月薪两千的策划在一起上班做出来的游戏。

Really liked this. It is visually stunning all the way through. It has frustrations though. There needs to be more guidance on how to progress in these types of games. A lot of running around in circles.

Jeu un peu mou mais avec une vraie morale derrière!
