Close Me

What can I say about "close me"? First, the game is based on the principle that it is necessary to close regularly and reopen it to progress in the adventure and unlock the sequel. We find ourselves regularly waking up in the bed of a room and getting up to explore the surroundings. Then the gameplay is reduced to the simplest: 4 key directions and a touch of interaction. Then, the graphics are very poor and very ugly (see the images) and are reduced to a pixel porridge and an atrocious mixture of colors. Finally, we control a character that we know nothing about and we do not receive any information on what to do. In short, the justification for exploration is the fact that we have that to do and everything to discover and try to understand the situation. I am usually very fond of this kind of title that seeks to propose a concept a little shifted, of these UFO's that sometimes offer rather an experience than a real game. We still have to win something. In the absence of a pleasure of play, whether there is a matter for reflection, a minimum of humor or that it arouses a certain number of emotions. Finally, something that encourages you to move forward, which allows you to have a good time. I spent about an hour on "close me" in several short sessions but I hardly honestly appreciate the experience. Because it is not very pleasant, not very amusing, not very interesting and I do not really see enough reason to motivate me to take time to explore this universe. If I'm usually not very looking at the graphics and rather attached to the gameplay and the storyline, the absence of a rich and rider universe strongly harms this game because it is not very keen to discover this world or everything is empty, square and flat. I still leave a blue thumb because at this mini price, I think everyone can get their own idea without taking too much risk and it's hard to say if it's a bad game because it probably escapes the traditional criteria.
