Dec. 2024

Honestly one of the best point-and-clicks I've ever played. This game is such a masterpiece in so many ways. First, the visuals... stunning. The artist couldn't possibly have captured a psychological horror nightmare carnival more aptly. And the visual effects take it to the next level. You can see the care that went into the game in the subtle things, like mirror reflections or ripples in the water. Overall, a very immersive, surreal, and polished feel. And then, the puzzles. Generally the perfect level of difficulty. The solutions are mostly logical and fit well with the game story. They feel very thoughtfully designed with the player in mind. One puzzle is a more arcade-style speed/action-type puzzle, but there's an alternative solution for people who don't like that, which I thought was a great addition. And finally, most importantly, there's the story. Very dark and very deep. There's so much to it, and I think it's really worth playing through a second time with commentary to understand it better because I don't think you can get everything the first time around. I certainly didn't, but I enjoyed both playthroughs because on the first one, I could draw my own interpretations of all the story events and symbolism, and on the second, I could see what the devs actually wanted to convey. The characters are great. The symbolism is great. The writing is great and very poetic, packed with hidden meaning. And the voice acting is great. Abe Goldfarb (Joey from the Blackwell series) blesses us again with his immense talent. The commentary is good, too. The writer, artist/sound engineer, and programmer all give their own commentaries, and although the artist's and programmer's commentaries are often very technical, you can certainly appreciate how much work they put into the game. It's also quite enlightening if you're interested in game dev yourself. But I most enjoyed the writer's commentary, which dives into the meaning behind different parts of the story or offers personal stories that served as inspiration. Mark Yohalem is certainly a great storyteller. It really helps round out the game and add more meaning to an already very deep story. So anyway, yes, this game is fantastic in pretty much every way.

Strangeland is a shining example of what the point-and-click genre can achieve. It offers a captivating, surreal world that explores deep themes of loss and personal struggle. The pixel art is meticulously detailed, and the voice acting is top-notch, bringing the characters to life vividly. The puzzles are a delightful blend of challenging and intuitive, perfectly integrated into the narrative. It was intellectually stimulating and deeply engaging. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a game that is both artistically rich and thought-provoking.

Dec. 2024

if you are a big fan of the point n click genre, do yourself a favor and turn on commentary when you are doing your 2nd playthru of this game. it's entirely optional, there's no chievo for it, but it goes into some really amazing depths in what the scenes are trying to portray and how the writers / developers came about their understandings of these dark and cryptic topics. i missed a LOT of the underlying content in my first playthru. but hearing these life stories and having a better understanding of the life experiences that brought writers to these interpretations is really awesome stuff. it's made this game a lot more profound than i initially thought and i am enjoying it on a whole deeper level. this game has some really strong underlying concepts and i have a lot more respect for it after listening to the commentary. it's always such a pleasure playing these wormwood/wadjet eye games! and this one does not disappoint.

What a great game. Played it in one sitting, loved the art style and the quality-of-life phone operator guiding you if you get a bit stuck. Truly immerses you in its weird world that's reminiscent of H.R. Giger and Silent Hill. Unsettling, dark, but ultimately beautiful and doesn't overstay its welcome. This is the second adventure from Wadjet Eye Games that I've played, the other being Unavowed, and I've loved both so much I'm now a big fan of this publisher. And I will certainly try Wordwood Studios earlier game as I've heard good things! Final score: 9/10

What a darkly beautiful game. Shame it only lasted 4 hours. As in, I wish there was more, but it ended nicely without over staying it's welcome. Would recommend, if only for the downright chilling voice acting.
