Reviews for "Deep Sleep"
What am I supposed to do? Are the controls the mouse? Nothing says I should use the mouse. Why should I have to go to the walkthrough to find that out? Why should I care about this random environment? Is static really that spooooooooky? This is pointless.
We NEED this to be on the portal, I'm still sweating like crap. This is one of the BEST point 'n clicks I've ever played, if you and Afro Ninja got together, it would be the scariest, most fun, and most puzzling escape game ever.
Sorry to say, but I don't like this game.
First off, the story is non-existent. You wake and it. So are you supposed to make it up from that point on, or is the quote before the game supposed to be all the story need?
Who is the protagonist? I know nothing about him. Can you at least give us a name, or tell us if he IS a he? Could it be a SHE? Or even what the protagonist looks like? Who is he? he do for a living? Any talents or hobbies? Why is it he startled by a man screaming for help from within a giant furnace, but is instead terrified of a tall dark thing walking slowly towards him?
Are we supposed to project ourselves onto him? If so, then it work, no sane person would do HALF of the things this crazy person does.
As for the game, yeah it looks nice, but I find it hard to immerse myself into this world.
I try to look for realism in scary games, I feel the best way to immures a player is to use realism, that way the player can relate to the protagonist and his actions. Now, if woken up in some sort of Hell, where the walls disintegrate into dust and left in some dark world, my first instinct be to remove the arm from a skeleton sleeping in the same bed I was sleeping in.
You see, the actions one preforms is highly reflected onto ones personality. I know nothing of this man, so because of what he does, think some sort of crazy man who believes in cult conspiracies. My theory is backed up by the fact that he has newspaper clippings on his wall in his house. And going to assume that we are in his house because he says nothing about it upon waking up. He say anything like, this look or, this my
As for the ending, a mess. He says his life is forever changed, but I know how. He say how or why. I even assume how his life is changed because I know nothing about him. Why does he want to go back into that dream? To find the truth? What truth? Our apparent objective to find the truth; it was to get out of the house without getting killed. And, what, he can just go back whenever he wants to? And why does he refer to those tall dark things as "creatures"? They could just be men in robes who know about him and his progression in uncovering their cult.
In conclusion: The story needs heavy work. If you like looking at stuff and being annoyed by things that fail at being scary or you believe in a secret dream controlling cult, then play this game. If not, then skip this one and play a real horror game. give it a star because of the nice visuals, just remember: Visuals alone create immersion.
not very fun
