Probably the most beautiful wadjeteye game, top notch art and animation, and really good voices going for the weird tones and nailing it. The plot feels a bit trite but the delivery of it throughout makes it worthwhile.

Strangeland is a spooky Indie adventure game. The 2nd game by Wormwood Studios, Strangeland is quite different from Primordia not only in narrative but also in its approach. We are stuck in a nightmare and stay in the same locations most of the game, while they may change, we never venture further than the protagonist's mind. That's not entirely a bad thing, to be honest. The art is surreal and the story is is weird. I believe psychologists will have a field day with this one. Not that it is hard to understand, the ending was pretty much clear, but what each carnival ride and detail represented feels like it had thought put behind it. About the puzzles: In such a nightmare setting, it is very convenient to move away from simple logic puzzles into absurd territory. Yet it surprisingly feels like Strangeland never resorted to nonsensical moon logic puzzles, instead it used dream logic. After the rules of this nightmare worlds have been explained and taught to you, you can figure out the dream puzzles yourself. (something you can't do with incompetent moon logic puzzles of Sierra games..) The phone booth that offers hints is a nice addition like the robot companion from Primordia. Can be cheap, but helps with directions sometimes. I encountered a moment where he got stuck repeating the same unhelpful line over and over.. Psychology was never my major, so I won't go into if this game is pretentious or not. Lot's of people seem to claim so. But I believe the game achieved what it set out to do. That's the most important part in my opinion! While Primordia was more logical robot game in a techno city, Strangeland tackles the other half of the brain: the surreal & abstract, trauma and nightmares. I liked the juxtaposition. Fairly short Indie game, that is good as game is not bloated or dragging. Nice game.

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.
