Looks interesting, especially since the GOG announcement says it's like Dear Esther without the self-indulgent aspect and with actual gameplay. And you have to respect a game that takes you in an unusual historical setting or exposes you to an obscure culture.

Not sure why, your first sentence looks garbled to me.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

I mean to say it's like Dear Ester without all the pretentiousness, self-indulgent aspects, and with actual gameplay.

Looks intriguing and I'm always up for a first-person adventure game. Maybe I'll give it a try when I'm done with Knock-Knock and have heard some opinions.

Apparently my joke at Dear Esther's expense was too subtle.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

People on GOG are complaining that it has achievements.

This is exactly the kind of game that shouldn't have any, talk about a mood killer.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Game is OK, music is quite good although it's maybe somewhat too conspicuous. Game looks quite short so it won't wear its welcome. Puzzles are logical though they seem to rely a bit too much on looking through every nook and cranny to find random objects. It's already a million times better than Dear Hipster.

My biggest problem is that even with the noise filter removed the game is just so dark, there's some kind of unpleasant filters applied to make everything somber and it just makes the game kind of a pain to play.
