market to the wrong crowd. It should be market to ppl who loves art.
So what define as a videogame; interactive experience and players have a role/goal/objective. This title has none of those values.
The interaction are bare minimum, far worst than "myst", "Riven" or "Path" which has at least puzzles and objective. The only interaction Players/Users are controlling a camera and at certain location it will present players with a narrator of a short context "love letter", "Diary" or "Poem" to represent the scene. Its like a elaborate walk down an Art Museum.
Presenting the story are vague with a short narration that will leave players clueless. Most of the time players often lost on the island just to uncover the next event and often the story context are not delivered in a proper sequence. The overall story is more of mystery genre related to a story of shipwreck survivor trapped on the island to the point of ?death?. (Not my cup of tea)
Overall Graphics looks great like the environment, and the Icelandic landscape will please art enthuse and videogamers alike but certain areas such as houses, objects and bump mapping details are still lacking. It is not the best looking game, but it is really polished for DX9.
To my believe, the developers create this title as a new method of delivering story in a form of Art, but not a form of a videogame.
Well the game length varies about 2 hrs depending players pace. The value depends on what consumers want.
