Overseas Reviews

I'm very glad I got this game even if it scared the absolute shit out of me

Overseas is an experience. Each of the games that are part of it have their own ambiance and feel. Honestly, the devs could expand on this model into a whole world of worlds that you navigate through. For the brief moment that Overseas is, it was enjoyable. A certain rain achievement evaded me until I stumbled across it and was very pleased. I look forward to if/when the devs make this into a VR adventure, because that would be wicked cool.

Really loved this game! Each of the four worlds had a compelling concept, and the audio/visuals were quite unique and atmospheric. Well done!

It's not a game, more of a few very, very short tech demos.

Collection of 4 short artgames where you, uhh.. experience art. Pretty cool.

Meh... As a massive fan of walking simulators, this was ok at best (not good, not bad, but I'll give it a thumbs up because no neutral option); was expecting more tbh. The voices/dialogue are cringe, honestly. If you like it, cool, I just don't really care much personally. May or may not refund, we'll see.

Amazing visuals and sound in each of these short games. Each world has a distinct tone and atmosphere but they are all expertly crafted and make a really interesting whole. I like this collection a lot and would love to see more like it. I spent a lot of time in 'tlön', enjoying the shifting audio/visual landscape. Such an interesting use of video!

Impressive use of sound design and high-definition visuals, the spaces are uniquely immersive. Tlön was my favourite episode. Plus, best main menu ever

I played this game with friends, and I think overall, none of us were particularly enthralled by it. I appreciate that it's an art game, and thus it must be judged on what it is rather than what it's not, even then, I find it hard to recommend it to anyone. Out of the four games on offer, I only enjoyed one (the shamanistic one, that was cool!), the others just made me too unnerved to really decode any meaning from them. Maybe that's the point, I don't know. If this game were a dollar, I would be more willing to recommend it, but as it stands now, it's almost $5 AUD, which for a game that has less than an hour's worth of content is a bit steep. That being said, bringing something new to the table is always commendable, so if you happen to see this game when it's cheaper at Christmas or something, then maybe go for it, otherwise, nah. 3/10.

If you, like me, like an unusual experience, you should try Overseas! Even if you don't really like walking simulators. The games are very short, and at the same time, each fragment contains an interesting idea. I want to note the original graphic style with an mixture of glitch art and generative art, which gives an unusual disturbing atmosphere. I think that's what you could really call "art games". There are games that you spend hours or days playing and eventually forget. Here, on the contrary - each small fragment is remembered and leaves an unusual aftertaste. I definitely recommend it.
