Impressions of the game (Transference)
In this topic share their impressions of the full game.
Passed. My verdict:
The debut game from the Studio SpectreVision, led by the famous actor Elijah wood.
The plot of the sci-Fi project Transference tells the story of a scientist Raymond Hayes, who set out to move himself and his family (wife Catherine and son Benjamin) in the ideal virtual space. What led to his experiments in what has turned into this virtual space – and we have to see in the game. Moreover, from several perspectives.
From the point of view of gameplay we have such a Gone Home with a taste observer_. We find ourselves in a "virtual home" of the family, who can research, examining (twisting arms) various interactive objects and in the process solve simple puzzles. The main feature is the switch of perspective, disguised as a simple switch/light switch. It allows you to see the house from the point of view of Raymond, Ben or Catherine. And here it becomes clear that each member of the family sees their home and the objects in it differently. Passed through the prism of personal memories and emotions, "virtual house" was for each member of the family – a sort of existential trap. And the atmosphere and sensations occurring in the Transference is reminiscent of the ongoing nightmare, and it is without a doubt – the positive side of the game.
Unfortunately, the interesting sci-Fi Foundation to the final of this small (about 2 hours) the game does not reveal the story through the end. Remains a sense of understatement. In addition, the game lacks more drama, more empathy heroes. Because of all this, during the credits there is a certain disappointment. "That's it?" – the question involuntarily arises in the mind.
But from the point of view of graphics the game looks nice, from the point of view of control – convenient.
The bottom line: a good debut project of Elijah wood, who released the original, though not "vystrelivshey" in all its power.
