Taking videogame story telling to the next level




This is one of those very few games that are completely enhanced by specifically being a videogame. Early cinema was just "filmed theater", and then evolved to use things unique to cinema, starting to use more dynamic cameramovement, forced perspectives, angles, blur, special effects etc. These things evolved cinema to something unique.
Most games are still in that "filmed theater" phase of encorporating the story, where you can get probably 95% enjoyment of the story by watching it on youtube. But this game and to a bit lesser extent "What Remains of Edith Finch" are evolving videogame storytelling to a point where the medium is coming into its own, where story and gameplay truly are inseperable.
Fantastic game overall, probably my favorite ever. If you own a webcam I STRONGLY recommend this game to everyone, super emotional story. I would even recomend it to people who've never gamed before, it's super intuitive! (Especially recomended if you're interested to see how videogame storytelling might evolve to become it's own thing)
