Game Overview:
Developer: The Brotherhood
Publisher: The Brotherhood
Release Date: February 26, 2020
Genre: Adventure, Indie, Point & Click, Sci-fi, Puzzle
Setting and Story:
Setting: The game unfolds in an alternate future where Earth has been transformed by a cataclysmic event, leading to a post-apocalyptic landscape filled with mysterious technologies, bizarre creatures, and remnants of human civilization. The setting draws heavily from African landscapes and cultures, offering a visually distinct world.
Story: Players follow the journey of Mark Leslie, who, along with his brother Don, gets teleported from 1980s South Africa into this desolate future due to an alien artifact known as the Penrose. The narrative revolves around Mark’s quest to understand the new world, find his brother, and seek a way back home. The story delves into themes of survival, conflict mediation, and the exploration of humanity’s place in a radically altered environment.
Gameplay:
Exploration and Interaction: Players navigate through beautifully rendered 2D isometric environments, exploring everything from lush, overgrown ruins to stark, bone-dry deserts. Interaction is primarily through point-and-click mechanics, where you can pick up items, talk to a diverse cast of characters, and engage with the environment to solve puzzles or advance the plot.
Puzzles: The game features a mix of inventory-based puzzles and environmental challenges. These require players to think creatively about combining items or interpreting clues from the world around them. Puzzles vary in difficulty, offering both intuitive solutions and more complex brain-teasers.
Dialogue and Choices: Conversations play a critical role, with multiple dialogue paths that can lead to different outcomes, alliances, or conflicts. Players must mediate disputes, negotiate with local factions, or sometimes choose between helping or betraying characters, influencing the story’s direction and multiple endings.
Combat and Survival: While not primarily a combat game, there are moments where players must defend themselves against creatures like nanite swarms or giant scorpions, blending puzzle-solving with survival elements.
Visuals and Audio:
Art Style: The game uses a vibrant, detailed 2D isometric art style that captures the essence of a post-apocalyptic African landscape. Each area is rich with unique flora, fauna, and architectural styles, providing a feast for the eyes.
Soundtrack: Composed by Mick Gordon, known for his work on “DOOM” and “Wolfenstein”, the soundtrack complements the game’s atmosphere with an eclectic mix of African-inspired beats and eerie, ambient tones, enhancing the sense of place and mood.
Additional Features:
Multiple Endings: The choices you make throughout the game lead to different conclusions, encouraging replayability to see all possible outcomes.
