The story can only move forward in response to the reader’s actions, and those actions change the experience of the story. Interactive fiction is a kind of literature, but the reader takes an active role rather than a passive role.
You’ll be surprised at how quickly the aesthetics stop bothering you and pull you in further.A visual novel (Japanese: ビジュアルノベル, Hepburn: bijuaru noberu), often abbreviated as VN, is an interactive fiction video game genre, featuring text-based story with narrative style of literature and interactivity aided by static or sprite-based visuals, most often using anime-style art or occasionally live-action stills What is unique about interactive fiction? Just because the graphics look like they were all drawn in MS Paint does not mean the game doesn’t absolutely rule, because it does. Everything looks a little… “off” … and you have to just deal with that. The art style plays well into the hands of the atmosphere. That, my friends, is called ‘theming’ and this game does it perfectly. You will be strolling around in the apartment complex that this game takes place in and you will constatnyl be wondering about what terrible thing will jump out at you, or what you’ll open a door to reveal. Yet, at the end, when it is all finished, you will be able to say “Hot damn, that was amazing.” Atmosphereįunctioning in a similar vein as games like Fran Bow, Little Misfortune, or Among the Sleep, this game is surreal at the best of times and damn well frightening at the worst. This story will take some shocking twists and it will reveal some things you couldn’t imagine were in store for you. Things happen that you can’t control, and choices you must make for the betterment of humanity, even if they don’t know it. I will be honest, there are a lot of adult and pretty brutal themes throughout this game. If you are looking for a game that takes everything you know and twists it on its head, you are going to adore this masterpiece. From start to finish, I was thoroughly gripped as I felt my way through a world, I knew from the start I couldn’t fully understand. The story here is, in my opinion, nothing short of incredible. This game is heavily narratively based and it is important that you pay attention from start to finish to catch it all. Run through multiple times and you’ll start to see more than you did the first time. There is a significant amount to this game so I would recommend taking a couple of swings at it. There are so many layers to this game that a good piece of advice is to never take anything at face value. You pick where you want to go, what you want Sal to look at or interact with, and it will tell you something about it. GameplayĪ simple and straightforward point-and-click adventure, Sally Face has you, for the most part, control Sal as he interacts with the world around him. Sally Face is a game that will stick with you for years after you complete it, so if you think you are ready, lets get into it. Sal’s life is never straightforward and this story really brings out the worst of what a world filled with evil can muster.
Follow protagonist Sal Fisher as he traverses a frightening world filled with ghosts, frustrating puzzles, demons and more. Sally Face is a truly unique and interesting experience, even if it can be exceptionally dark at times. That means you’re going to end up very confused down the line if you’re not exploring everything. Unfortunately, a lot of content that seems like it’s optional is rather important to the story. There are also videotapes you can find and diary entries to read. One of the best parts about Sally Face is the developer really put a lot into fleshing out the plot so that there is a lot to discover in everything from optional areas to explore to unlockable minigames. However, the unsettling part is how graphic the game is at times from cannibalism to suicide. The animation is brought to life by the immersive and beautiful soundtrack that makes you wonder what is around the corner. The vibrant world in Sally Face is brought to life through the visual artwork that lets you know the developers behind the game really put a lot of thought into the animation. This is not a good game to play for those who have to keep tabbing out to look up guides. Sometimes it can get a little weird as you move from room to room solving puzzles that have no obvious ways of solving them. Unfortunately, the game is relatively short. You solve puzzles, play mini-games, and move around a nightmare through the mind of a young boy. You’re following a boy who has a fake face on as he navigates his way through his life. If there’s any genre Sally Face can fit into, then it could be a horror mystery game.
