Fatale: Exploring Salome reviews

"Fatale" is a small art exploration experience based on the Play "Salome" by Oscar Wilde. The Game disintegrates into two quite short Parts. In the first we are apparently John the Baptist, trapped in the Cistern of Herod. Text Splinters can be found on the Walls of our Dungeons and further Texts show up (without us being able to influence anything) in our Field of vision in a time-infature manner. In the End, the Executioner enters our Room and beheads us ... If the Trigger works. If you'Re in the wrong Place, just don't go on. The second Part apparently takes place after the Dance of the Salome and the Bait of John. The Throne of Herod stands before us, in the Corner a Guard waits and above the Parapet Salome leans, next to her a Tray with John's Head. We float strangely unached (apparently as a ghost) through the very small Area, erasing Candles Through which short Slivers of text are displayed to us. In the End, we are allowed to attend a somewhat resource-free Choreographed dance of the Salome, in which we wonder how Herod could have been so District. Aesthetically interesting, "Fatale" is dramaturgically problematic. The snippets of text appear rather arbitrary and disordered. Interspersed References to the Present Time, such as an i-Pod on the Belt of Solomon, also prove to be an effort. Technically, the Whole thing is also difficult. Graphics and Sound are atmospheric for 2009, but if you can easily't trigger a Trigger and therefore have to restart or get irrevocably stuck in the Graphics, this doesn't speak directly for the Programmers of the Developers. And so the Realization remains: You prefer to read the wild original. This is much more worthwhile-although now rather from a historical Point of view. Rating: 6/10 Atmosphere 5/10 Story 6/10 Graphic 7/10 Sound 2/10 Game Mechanics 2/10 Balancing 5/10 Game Pass Conclusion: "Fatale" acts like a faint imaging alongside quote Splinters, which raises the question of whether you'd rather equal to the Original Text "Salome" By Oscar Wild should take hold. 5/10 Overall Rating

Fatale is an interactive psychological adventure based on a biblical story to make the player live a singular experience. Beware, this game can not please everyone because it uses unconventional mechanisms and delivers a reflection more than a fun. If you don't like tale of tales I think it's useless to embark on this adventure. You start the game in an underground prison, without knowing who you are or why you are there, without any game menu appearing to allow you to throw a party. You read some texts that appear and there I warn directly that these writings are drawn from a work of Oscar Wilde adapting history to the theatre, which means that the language is sustained and complex for the uninitiated. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=490392700 then you end up on a terrace in a sort of Oriental fortress where you will move by floating forward with a left click and backward right click, quite shaking way (there also nothing is done in the standards but you can play with the WASD keys if you want). You discover the story of Salome, a young woman who had killed the man she loved because she refused her advances, all through phrases signed Oscar Wilde that you can read when you focus on a light. The gameplay, if you can call it that, is to move to find a light, focus on it and read the phrases that appear and then turn off the light. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=490392573 nothing complex or folichon but the story has something fascinating, this mystical aura, these whispering voices, these poetic and dramatic words, it is a whole that creates a experience to which one adheres or does not adhere, it is very random. Me these games leave me a little puzzled, but I always feel somewhat fascinated. The interpretation is also left free to each and the story offers a questioning about love, death, beauty, temptation, desire etc... It's up to you to see if you want to indulge in this short experience... Read more reviews on my curation page: Kitsune's Guide
