Review/Song Of Terror (Xbox)
I’ve decided to play.Horrible songsAt noon, my cat hugged me tightly. Because I’m not going to deal with anything creepy at night. The sun shines through my window, and this third person survival fear adventure also successfully creates a suspense atmosphere that is not suitable for cowards.
When the game starts, for the player, the character can submit to permanent death, which means that he cannot obtain multiple lives. Yes, that means that once you die, you will die forever. The game is designed to use permadeath, but players can disable it. I choose to play as planned.
Daniel Noyer was the first character I was lucky to meet. He is a publishing house, a divorcee, a former alcoholic, and a rather old-fashioned character. When I explored Daniel’s apartment, things started slowly, but soon Daniel was sent to explore the ominous old house Husserl Mansion.
Horrible songsThe cutting lens is well done. They are not very long.(The troublesome words can certainly surpass them.) Besides, narration helps the story move forward and also helps understand other characters. Each character plays an important role in the game. It is worth paying attention to the scene and enjoying the slow accumulation.
Like any horror game, it is best not to match with characters. As soon as Daniel stepped onto the Warsaw Building, I knew everything would go downhill. The atmosphere of this mansion during the day was not particularly terrible, but my palms began to sweat almost immediately. Because I know there are dangerous things lurking in it. Sure enough, Daniel found the door and screamed “Please don’t go in”, but he had no choice but to go in.
Daniel was finally locked in the mysterious door, which also disappeared. At that moment, I met Daniel’s ex-wife Sophie Vandende. This is where you learn the character’s strengths and weaknesses. There are three other options.
I finally chose Sophie. Because this seems to be the most reasonable choice. I don’t know why this competition took place in the 1990s. Sophie used candlelight as the light source, but at least candlelight seemed to help her reason. But if she went into the haunted house to look for her missing ex boyfriend at all costs, I can’t imagine that she would be so rational.
When I played Sophie, I noticed how ups and downs some moves were. She walks very stiffly. Sometimes I try to lift or see objects, but in order to interact, I must position myself in this position. Through another room, the camera will switch and you can see the room from different angles, but the camera is fixed. I found that some control dynamics were a little outdated, and the characters’ graphics were also inconspicuous. Despite these shortcomings, I am still impressed with other details.
As I said, the camera sometimes feels a little strange, but it also has a good angle, almost a movie style. Another item is necessary for playing the game. Explore every inch of every room. It may seem boring at first, but soon a sound was heard on the other side of the door. The character is able to hear the voice before opening the door, which increases the authenticity of the atmosphere. Who doesn’t want to check if the coastline is unblocked?
When I found the study, when Daniel found the same room where he disappeared, I knew things would get worse. There was a seemingly harmless note on the wall. After putting it in my directory, I heard a breeze blowing in the room, followed by a child’s gentle laughter. When you are alone in a mansion, in the dark, this is the last thing you want to hear.
At that moment, I was in panic and ready to rush out of the mansion. On the contrary, I first encountered “being”, a dark supernatural figure trying to break into the door. Fortunately, Sophie was stronger than she seemed and successfully closed the door on the spot.
This is not the end of the first episodeHorrible songsBut it’s enough for me. I will definitely return to this game. Although it has shortcomings in some aspects, the unique abilities of each character and the subtle details hidden in what you find are part of solving the mystery, making it a unique and unforgettable terror game.Horrible songsDon’t rely on surprise or blood, play with your brain. Then you never know what will happen next.
