Tatiana explores a lot of great horror tropes around the concept of the automaton and the soul in classical fiction like Frankenstein. The historical Russian setting and the novelty of automata add a lot of flavour to the story. This demo is short, but it is able to bring up a lot of themes, particularly the creator/creation relationship, the soul, science, and (spoiler) exploitation of the dead.
As a WIP I don't have too much feedback, but it would be nice to see the other automata. I know Tatiana is the only one that talks, but exploring the interplay between the others as characters somehow would add a bit more diversity to player interaction. I'm interested to see how (spoiler) this 'revolution' plays out and definitely want to know when the complete game is finished!
Thanks for submitting Tatiana to the SCREAM MACHINE jam!
