I came into this game expecting Obra Dinn in space. Please understand that you will not quite get that experience here. I'm a big fan of detective/deduction type games like Obra Dinn and Golden Idol, etc, and I originally got this anticipating that experience in a Sci-Fi setting. This game is not that, however I was very pleasantly surprised by the experience. This is closer to a walking simulator like Edith Finch than it is to a detective game. There is still an interesting mystery to unravel and absorb, however you will not be in charge of solving it, if you play through the game, the mystery will be solved for you as the game conveys its story to you. I was not aware of this fact and took notes the entire time, expecting myself to need to solve the mystery myself at some point, I did not need to, however I think it still added to my experience. There is a LOT of great detail, environmental storytelling, and great character interactions throughout this story, more than enough to take notes on and come to your own little "aha!" moments as you piece things together. The game is relatively short, you can beat it in an afternoon if you dedicate one to it, but still a great experience and one that left me very satisfied with my purchase.

I really enjoyed both the writing and environmental storytelling. It's more of a story that's being told to you than a game (e.g. it has no "puzzles" to complete it). But it's also philosophical and very grounded sci-fi. A good experience with great visuals on a space station.

Similar to gone home but with anti-capitalist themes and set in the future, instead of themes of LGBT and adolescence, set in the past. Really great, though I felt had a little less emotional payoff than gone home.

Tacoma is a first-person narrative exploration game that presents an astonishing vision of the future. It is an imposing game that has a terrific and intricate setting, and a remarkable atmosphere. The attention to detail is outstanding, the sound design helps make it further engaging, and each character gave something distinctive to the story that every single one feels genuine and unique. Tacoma delivers a satisfying experience nearly in all aspects. It is certainly not a drawn-out game, but it manages to tell a compelling science fiction tale about mortality and relationships in the midst of adversity.

March 2024

It's not what I expected. I went in thinking I would have to solve a mystery. You do - but it's for your own understanding and technically not necessary to finish the game, though I don't see how you'd finish the game without being aware of it. You solve the mystery of what happened to this crew via progress through the story. I really enjoyed the game's take on worldbuilding through what you can interact with, and how you connect it to the information you find out from the AR versions of the crew. The game is entirely story-driven. It's is a walking simulator that's driven by narrative, rather than direct player involvement. Everyone compares all walking simulators to Gone Home, but it is what I'm going to compare it to in regards to the game's focus on the story. You're going through this ship taking in the relationships and previous interactions of everyone that was on board. It's very interactive, but your interactions are with the environment, through listening in to the characters' dialogue, as well as snooping on their devices when you get the chance. Your job is to piece every together. How do all of these interactions and information lead to what happened? All in all, I would recommend it. I didn't personally find myself feeling any attachment to the characters (other than the gentle, soft-spoken AI on ship who I'd fight the world for) but I was still deeply immersed in finding out the next bits of information from them and putting them together. I wanted to find out what they were doing, how they were interacting, and if those things led to success or disaster. I think if you like Sci-fi and walking simulators, you'll enjoy this.
