Albino Lullaby: Episode 1 reviews

Review in German. Short Review: 8.5/10 After a little more than 3h Of play, I have now finished Episode 1 of Albino Lullaby. I don't really want to tell much about the Story, except that you have a Car accident and you wake up in a strange Place. I would describe The Graphic Style as a Cel Shading Look. The Story is told by Notebooks, so that on the one hand you have To think about yourself and on the other hand this Also leaves a lot of Possibilities for interpretation. The Story is not literally on the Pieces of paper, but they are notes from the Monsters. At First, you don't know who the Pieces Of paper are, but you conclude. One also recognizes, among other things, that the Monsters have a Daily Routine and leave messages to each other. There are also funny Notes, such as one that you can find on The toilet and describe a Kind of Competition, who can sit on Cleo the longest. Such hurtaorous Jokes make you catch yourself smiling and Smiling. It should Be Emphasized that the Game completely dispenses with Jump Scares, which, in my Opinion, is a nice Change. Because a Horror Feeling comes up in definition. Several Times I caught myself getting Goosebumps, through the successful musical Insertion and the Voices of the Monsters. That now leads me to the Opponents in the Game. The worm-like Monsters have no Legs or Arms, just a huge Mouth and Eyes. Their Movement can be described as a Kind Of Glide. They never get fast, so you can always run away from them. If you Come Close to Them, the View blurs and one is Death. Very positive to mention are the Voices of the Monsters. A pretty high Voice that sometimes sings and triggers such a very strange Feeling in one. You think you're surrounded by Lunatics. When you suffer Screen Death, you end up at a firmly prescribed Spawn Point. Self-contained Storing and charging is not possible. However, the Memory Points are set very fairly, so you have no Problems getting any further. There are no great Puzzles to solve in the Game world. You usually have to turn on a certain Number of Lamps or switch Them or plug cables together to unlock a Gate or similar to go further there. In Terms of Playing technology, it is certainly planned to sneaked through the individual Rooms and, if possible, to activate these Lamps in silence, but you can also just run through and let the Monsters track you. It doesn't make a Difference. You can sprint indefinitely and are faster and faster. The Monsters run after you stubbornly and don't try to cut off your Path, so you can always escape unless you run into a Dead End. You can't defend yourself up to Half of the Game, by the way. Then you find a Kind of Weapon with which you can temporarily Incapacitate your Opponents. After each Use, it must be recharged at a Station. You can't completely defeat or kill the Monsters. So Why only 8.5/10 For one thing, as I said, it makes no Difference whether you sneak or sprint through. Certainly sneed is wanted, but just not a Must. If you want to enjoy the Game, though, you should sneak. Half Point Deduction. On the other hand, the Opponents are not intelligent. You just run away from those who follow you and that's. No Tactic that they try to encircle you or anything else. One Point Deduction. I'm definitely excited about the Game and will certainly buy and play the next Few episodes. However, their Release takes quite a while.
