The other games in this developer's catalogue have a rich, vibrant narrative, and 'Indistinguishable' is no different. With complex themes at play, such as AI and the subjective form of art, as well as the things we would do for love, the dialogue/text between Anna and Echo seems real, as a couple that have been going through it and just want things to run smoothly in their lives. It begs the question whether attempting to patch up areas of our relationships leads to further turmoil down the line, but by the end of this you'll have a lot to ponder...
This one had ne guessing - I thought that with the talk of AI our scientist friend Echo had made a cyborg version of himself! Glad that I was wrong in this sentiment, but also when you think of the continual loop of what is really going on, it made me question everything...
The only critique of 'Indistinguishable' is that on several occasions I found myself walking around aimlessly, not quite sure what the next objective was. I've cut these pieces out on my playthrough as it wouldn't serve much in the way of content, however having played a plethora of indie horror games, usually going to have a shower or going to bed seems to propel the player into the next scene, although having to stand in a particular spot for the next line of dialogue to continue or reading a book seemed a little too niche. Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that this game doesn't hold your hand, but if there was an option just to speak to Anna I think this would lessen the walking around.
Also, I think there could be a sprint mechanic or option to walk just a 'little' bit faster than the prescribed walking speed.
I really think a lot of other indie games could learn from whilegameisfale's slow-burn, dreaded horror that escalates as the game progresses.
AND I NEED THE INTRO/OUTRO SOUNDTRACK IN MY LIFE. WHERE CAN I FIND THIS???
