Feb. 2017

The game was short but interesting, beautiful and immersive. Sometimes it was slightly frustrating because I didn't know what to do. Overall I'm glad about trying this game, yet I'm very annoyed about a bug. Typing the Windows key, either to minimise or by mistake, moved my mouse to a screen corner and I couldn't move it at all anymore. I had to either force a computer restart or use Ctrl Alt Delete to close the game.

It's a good short game that's ambiguous enough to have you going straight to the discussion boards afterwards to read people's theories and interpretations of what just happened. Story is well done, and voice acting is adequate. Everyone will likely experience a slightly different game depending on what you interact with and observe. Game consists of wondering around a cabin trying to piece together the story by clicking on things to reawaken memories, and those memories can change depending on the context and progression of what you've learned/remembered. Again, I enjoyed it. If it sounds interesting to you, give it try knowing that it's well done.

A lot of reviews will tell you that there isn't any actual gameplay in Serena and they're right. There are no items to pick up and use with other objects or locations within the cabin. You will find no puzzles to solve or characters to interact with. The style here is more of what I would call an interactive short story, a story that unfolds in a very dark and interesting way. Many locations and objects within the cabin have multiple pieces of dialogue to add to the narrative, which feels very candid and natural. Pros +Excellent and emotive voice acting in the narrations +Atmospheric location and sounds +Immersive graphical design Cons -As stated, there's no gameplay. If you're looking for a traditional point-and-click adventure then Serena isn't for you. -With few exceptions, horror is implied, not overt. If you expect jump scares and monsters in your horror, look elsewhere. Add Serena to your collection if you appreciate a good narrative and/or are a fan of "art" games.

10 minutes into the game: "Gosh, I already figured out what this story is about." 1 hour later: "...Okay, maybe not." An unexpectedly interesting point-and-click game. It provides a good atmosphere, great story-telling flow, decent voice-acting, and compelling script. The player feels for the main character and wants to journey with him until the end, which is the key ingredient to any good point-and-click game I feel. I wouldn't categorise this under Horror though, probably more to Mystery. Just a tip, there's no Pause function in this game. I pressed Esc, thinking it'll pause but instead quit the game so I had to start over. Highly recommended to play alone at home without any disturbances.

0,5-2 hours Status: 3x Meh out of 5 Slow-movin exploration of one room, story is mostly told retrospective. Good voice acting, little bit eerie, but not really scary. Almost like a one-man show theatre drama, but you are making the choices how fast it will go. Nice plot-twist.
