less griping this time: FAITH is really good actually

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:44 AM

it does so much with so little, atmosphere-wise

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:45 AM

you're walking through the oregon-trail-ass looking woods

and this shows up

you brandish your cross and it runs away, but after a couple encounters you start to make a disturbing realization

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:45 AM

that the noises it makes are garbled speech, and you're starting to understand what it's saying

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:46 AM

and it's not just, like, evil demon dialogue

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:46 AM

the first two lines I was able to understand in my playthrough were

You're Quinner

I GO WILLINGLY

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:46 AM

it uses the fear of the unknown masterfully because the game is giving you so little information

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:47 AM

and when you learn more, you usually wish you didn't

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:47 AM

very few things in the game have any sort of fanfare to them

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:48 AM

usually you're just like, you walk into a screen and some crude silhouettes run off another edge of the new screen

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:48 AM

or you walk downstairs and there's a rifle with one bullet and the words "KILL HER" written in blood, which go uncommented on

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:49 AM

and then when something does Happen

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:49 AM

it fucking HAPPENS

that sure as hell handpens all right

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:50 AM

Faith is good in every instance it does not try to be an action game

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:50 AM

basically yeah

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:50 AM

the fights get frustrating and the glacial walk speed is grating but also

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:50 AM

the latter is important for the atmosphere

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:51 AM

you feel so helpless

the grink

@flare_sword

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:51 AM

When it expects you, a half-mobile exorcist, to Dodge Demons Going Dark Souls at you, is the sole time the series quality plummets. Unfortunately, the amount of times that happens is not zero

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:51 AM

it's true, but I did say I was going to gripe less in this plurk

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:51 AM

so I'll leave it at that

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:51 AM

I found the first secret boss without a guide

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:52 AM

I doubt that will happen again

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:52 AM

the puzzles and explorable areas get more obtuse and large

the grink

@flare_sword

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:53 AM

Yeah I won't say more negative there, sorry it was tinted in that direction at first.

Also the walk speed is at least gameplay integration: john mortis walks with an actual limp iirc?

the grink

@flare_sword

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:54 AM

(his name is not john mortis i merely can't remember his actual name. I think it is John something at least)

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 3:59 AM

I proclaim that his name is John Mortis

the grink

@flare_sword

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 4:04 AM

his name is either John Mortis or John Faith, but either way what he is about to do has not been approved by the Vatican.

And yeah, the atmosphere is just, top notch. ESPECIALLY in the first and third games

You're Quinner

@quinn2win

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 4:04 AM

I have yet to play chapter 3 so looking forward to it

the grink

@flare_sword

Fri, Jan 5, 2024 4:06 AM

Chapters 1 and 2 started as just flash games, 3 was where they actually made a full enough game, in gamemaker I believe? to just wrap up the first two into a trilogy app

So it's meatier than the other two but you can tell they also put so much quality into it
