I almost forgot that I was playing a video game at times. Everything in this game just pulls you into it's world so much. As you traverse these locations, you'll not only get an idea of what has happened, but also uncover some very important and intriguing character moments, which all weave together to create a web of interesting character relationships. The first thing you may notice is that all the flashbacks and character exchanges sound like a radio play, and I may be wrong in thinking this but if that's what they were going for, it paid off perfectly and added so much to the game's tone. What this game does great is feel more large scale than an indie game should, whilst never straying from it's small town England vibe. Being from England myself, I have visited the English countryside more times than I can count and this game instantly transported me there. The entire environment is drenched in atmosphere and incredibly beautiful to look at. First off, the game looks amazing, there is so much attention to detail and from the very first steps I took after the opening narration, I knew that I was in for a treat. Through various flashbacks, audio logs and telephone recordings - you slowly start to piece together whatever has happened. All the inhabitants are gone, all is quiet.you are completely alone. The game is essentially a first person exploration adventure, where you find yourself as an unidentified individual traversing a small series of villages in the English countryside after some kind of catastrophe has happened.
I am at a loss for words to explain how much this game moved me, but i'll do my best.
As I listen to the heartbreakingly beautiful soundtrack at this very moment, I am inclined to encourage you to go and buy this game immediately - it is definitely worth the price (£15 on playstation store). From obscure games developer The Chinese Room comes the indie game to end all indie games.
