Just remember that this is not a game, it has zero gameplay elements. It's a story you discover through exploration, well written and atmospheric. You might enjoy it, if you don't expect to "play" it.

They should put those disclaimers in Visual Novels too.

...and in 99% of projects in Codex Workshop.
Something like 'You will like the concept... if you don't expect it to become a real game'.

So for a change an actual game which has zero story elements.

Good design is good

Looks cool, I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the link Konjad.

Do so, but be warned.

It's a walking simulator. Basically, all you do in the game is holding "W" key and moving mouse around. It doesn't have a gameplay at all.

However, it has great audio and visuals (as in, the art direction) and interesting way of telling the story (you are supposed to look around, read marks, make conclusions from everything).

It's kind of like looking at animated painting listening to it and trying to make sense out of it.

I did feel like the game lacks some gameplay, I would love some puzzles or riddles for advancing, unfortunately there was none of it.

I enjoyed it, but Codex in general dislikes it. For one dorra, it's a good deal, especially since if you dislike it you still get more games in the bundle which might interest you (Codex loves Awesomenauts, although it's boring arcade game for me...)

So, if the games bores you within 5 minutes, don't play anymore, nothing will change. If you will like it's atmosphere, you will probably enjoy it until the end (especially since it's only 1hr long)

Well...I'm having a sort of open minded period without expectations from any games.

If all you're interested in that humble bundle is Dear Esther I have a spare steam key if you want it.

Guys I've played this indie game without any Evil Publisher meddling with it.
It's pretty fun, here are some gameplay screenshots:

Check that scrollbar to see how much optional content there is! If they had an Evil Publisher I bet it would've had only 25 DLCs

 

[Qatesh]

Great! I found a command list, now I can start to think to attack that bloody orc!

edit: wait, I don't have a weapon. Fuck!

Behold a badass!

Yeah man totally agreed those graphics look like shit.

 

[MetalCraze]

But interface is definitely better than Fallout

 

[Cowboy Moment]

No way, not enough buttons on the sidebar, and too many hotkeys. The game can't communicate how it's meant to be played with all those hotkeys.

Also no context menu. How can the player know what they can do at any given point without a context menu?

 

[MetalCraze]

Context menu is for next-gen consoletards who are too cool for opening a second window with keylist in it

This sounds like a compliment...
After registration on GoG they gift me those kickin' ass games ( some of them are in codex best crpgs list)

You're a space marine slaughtering Inquisition's Emperor's enemies,what more can you possibly want?

Go play BASS right now, if you haven't done so already.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Woah, I missed the Worlds of Adventure games becoming free on GOG. Might give them a go at last.

(also what the hell is skyway on about now)

Haven't you seen J_C's Fallout thread in GRPGD? If not, you're in for a treat.

Actually the game is super fun, especially once you unlock some of the ballsier weapons like Storm Bolter and Thunder Hammer. Definitely standing out from the rest of "modern" shooters and actually puts some of those "modern" mechanics into better use while explicitly avoiding shit like cover system or "realistic" fragility of the player. It's almost as if they wanted to explicitly tell the player that cover-based popamole and precise geth shooting range are boring fucking pieces of shit, go slaughter hundreds upon hundreds of cannon fodder and swim in rivers of blood like back in the day.

I don't think the screenshots can present the mind-numbing carnage and total mayhem that is actually happening on the screen in action, especially when Chaos joins the battle and everybody's shooting everybody for the lulz

For those who never heard of it, it's Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.

I had a lot of fun with the 4-player co-op fighting ork waves gamemode. That's an action game done well.

Oh, you are right...!
I'm gonna trying it asap.

 

[felipepepe]

Yeah, the only shame is the lag... but still is very fun, I'm available for some bro-op if anyone wants.
