THIS IS GREAT. First time I have got a chance to play one of these. I've been spending the passed couple days on this video alone. Please check below and video description for full credit. I would really appreciate it.
Disc 1 - TORCH by Jazz Mickle : 1:50
- "despite everything, we kept searching". TORCH was a great way to start this whole experience. The name and the disc art held my focus on the torch through it all. The music with its mysterious vibes mixed with that squishing sound built a lot of tension as I walked forward. And then that light; this title left me with so many more questions.
Disc 2 - Ms. Blanch, by Adam Pype, Viktor Kraus : 5:51
- "I don't think you're going to need that torch, I assure you." Exposition dump, but done in a way that still leaves me with a lot of question. I really like this games art and overall feel; seeing the an actual hand in distress sat a little different. And what's with this torch.
Disc 3 - the participants by z_bill, DuendeenF : 12:42
- "I killed... a participant". This was my favorite of the bunch. It provided the most direct story explanation as well as unique movement controls and enemy encounters. I started out running into walls but soon enough I was chugging along like a champ. Oh, and our friend the torch makes an special appearance.
Disc 4 - Emerge by Davidrodmad : 25:31
-"PASS THE TEST". Ok so this one is a little different. Full of polygons and bodies. This feels like a dream sequence through and through. Then when you wake up at the end it felt like you were playing a whole different game. Purple body Green Eyes.
Disc 5 - DRiP by Colter Wehmeier, Bill Derrah : 30:54
-"Not when you're so seduced by sleep." Right off the bat you know I went to collect the shiny yellow floaty things. The game mocked me for it lol. I still kept trying just a little bit but honestly the mood changed after the "You're too cute. Really." line. Deeper we go...
