Static Reviews

Just got the game. Having played Ashes of Kanaka, I am excited to pick up the game to get a chance to go back into the Ashes Universe. I want to try this game out to see of I can get pulled into the atmosphere and get a great experience. Can't wait to get started!

A very intriguing story set in an interesting cyber-punk world, Static offers a creepy and unsettling narrative that goes beyond the premise of a simple escape room. Fantastic narration drives you to your objective to get the hell out of the massacre that your character evaded. The world that this title sets up is intriguing and deep, providing story bits throughout the adventure via written and recorded logs of the victims in the building. It makes you want to learn more about the world of Kanaka, something that I plan on doing by checking out Dogwood's other title in the universe, Ashes of Kanaka.

Playing through and 100 percenting took just under 2 hours for me. With that in mind, it's an interesting game. You are tasked with escaping from the tower while piecing together the story through the lives of the inhabitants. The graphics are nice and the views from the windows made me want to explore more the world had to offer. The levels of the tower are small so I imagine the footprint in the overall scheme of the city is minuscule. There are some creepy parts that offer flashbacks. The downsides for me were the sounds/music and inventory. Overall the music it was nice but at times it seems when loop ends, everything is suddenly silent until it starts up again. Inventory does not exist. I'd like to see the items or at least a list of what I had picked up. I wouldn't have remembered had I took a break from playing. I'd recommend it as a good entry into a cyberpunk aesthetic.
