Dec. 2024

An interesting story driven game. I occasionally enjoy an alternative to action games. This had me engaged for the full story. Decent graphics, writing and voice acting. No bugs or crashes. The ability to skip the puzzles and move on with the story is also refreshing. I would like to see a sequel

Nov. 2024

Just like the first game, The Uncertain: Light At The End sets up some interesting story beats only for them to never go anywhere. It essentially connects with the first game's ending, but not until the last few minutes, and since the third game will never happen, it all goes nowhere. Unlike the first game, TU:LATE features actual humans trying to survive in a world ruled by robots. Judging by the facial animations and movements, those humans also seem to be robots in disguise - at the very least, they have a hard time showing any emotions or more than rigid movements. As a result, the story isn't really all that convincing and the characters range from annoying to bearable, but they all have one-tone personalities that, obviously, do not get any time to develop in a game that is only four hours long. As for the gameplay, it mostly consists of finding objects in the environment and solving some simple, if heavily misplaced, puzzles. A lock doesn't need a puzzle that a fifth-grader can solve; that won't keep anyone out, especially after you already found a key anyway. Honestly, though, this all sounds unnecessarily harsh, but I am upset that this supposed trilogy never got a third game to shine. There are good ideas here; just like in the first game, the desolate, (mostly) human-less environment builds up atmosphere, the soundtrack is very well done and the general ideas in the story make sense, even though they aren't executed in the most convincing way. There are even some mini games you can play and a very simple morality system. The puzzles can all be skipped if you just want to focus on the story, though I would recommend doing them. It's a game hamstrung by it's budget and/or lack of experience, but you can tell there's a seed here that never got a chance to fully blossom. Overall, I will give it a thumbs up because the gameplay part itself is mostly inoffensive and it stands as a good introduction to a universe that never really evolved in the way it should've. If you can look past some clunky animations and the simple gameplay, The Uncertain: Light At The End and the first game, Last Quiet Day, are interesting games to check out, at least under the pretext of getting a glimpse into something that never came to be.

July 2024

The Uncertain: Light at the End Gameplay: The playability is somewhat questionable since with a controller it is somewhat more comfortable than with a mouse and keyboard. In its graphic aspect it is very impressive, just like the previous game "Last Quiet Day", Mentioning that its story is very good, somewhat empty in some aspects but in its rating I would give it a 7/10. One point to take into account while playing it is that in some parts it got stuck or that the physics of the stairs did not respond to Emily's model. Including that in movements and facial expressions it is somewhat questionable in how it looks. And last but not least, the very exaggerated but interesting references to other titles on the Steam platform. Achievements: Achievements add more replayability and more exploration of the entire game and repeat it to see what you could find. Soundtracks: The soundtracks are incredibly unique in this aspect, that is admittedly true. which in this field I give it a 10/10.

July 2024

A unique story that I think has the potential to be fascinating. However, the character animation and cut-scene/dialogue pacing leaves a lot to be desired. The end also leaves the story line open in a frustrating way, particularity since there is no word on any sequel actually being developed. This game is right on the edge of being a genuinely great independent game, but these issues hold it back.

June 2024

How much you enjoy The Uncertain: Light At The End will depend a lot on your tolerance for janky sci-fi adventures. Fortunately, that's one of my favorite genres. Light At The End continues the story from Last Quiet Day, showing you small fragments of a future where humanity and robots lived side-by-side until some kind of event happened that led to the robots rounding up and disappearing the humans. For why? We will never know, because it seems the developers have abandoned the series. But the mystery is compelling. The game is quiet and subdued. You aren't some epic hero at the center of everything or some impossibly cool wisecracking hipster, you're just an ordinary person trying to survive. Everybody feels down-to-Earth. There is the usual set of adventure game logic puzzles used to gate advancement through the scenes, but for the most part this is a narrative adventure/walking sim where you just walk around and talk to people and experience the world. The continuity is sometimes a bit off, the script isn't always great, but overall it's a peaceful, relaxing game punctuated with the odd QTE. Something cozy for the weekend, if you are a sci-fi fan who can look past the jank and unfinished story.
