Avis sur Endless Dark

FRENCH VERSION: Ce jeu a un potentiel énorme. Vous êtes un robot, seul dans un gros vaisseau. L'équipage, composé de 10 humains (correspondant aux vies du joueurs) sont endormis en "hibernation"/cryogénisation, le temps du voyage. Notre but est d'atteindre la destination du vaisseau avec le plus possible d'humains encore en vie. Le jeu se découpe en "journée" ou en cycles/tour. Le robot a des tâches, vous devez réparer tel ou tel système, nettoyer telle ou telle fuite, etc. Quand vous avez terminé les tâches, vous retournez à l'ordinateur central pour passer un tour et recommencer. Sauf que... vous devez aussi gérer la solitude dans l'immensité sombre de l'univers, vos questionnements métaphysiques de robot, et donc votre niveau de fatigue, de stress et de psychose. Au programme : - beaucoup d’événements aléatoires avec des choix cornéliens à faire - des psychoses qui influent sur le gameplay - des arcs narratifs - une méta progression entre chaque runs et des upgrades - une direction artistique simple mais qui nous font nous sentir seul et désespéré (mention spéciale à l'OST qui oscille du stressant ambient à de l'épiphanie énergique) De nombreuses mises à jour à prévoir pour un jeu déjà complet. Les devs sont à l'écoute sur leur discord et prennent en compte vos suggestions. Merci ! ---------------------------- ENGLISH VERSION : This game has a lot of potential. You are a robot, alone in a big ship. The crew, consisting of 10 humans (corresponding to the player's lives) are asleep in "hibernation"/cryogenics, for the duration of the journey. Our goal is to reach the ship's destination with as many humans as possible still alive. The game is divided into "days" or cycles/turns. The robot has tasks, you have to fix this or that system, clean this or that leak, etc. When you finish the tasks, you go back to the central computer to take a turn and start again. Except that... you also have to deal with the loneliness in the dark immensity of the universe, your metaphysical questions as a robot, and therefore your level of fatigue, stress and psychosis. In the game: - many random events with difficult choices to make - psychoses that influence the gameplay - narrative arcs - a meta progression between each run and upgrades - a simple art direction that makes us feel lonely and desperate (special mention to the OST that oscillates from stressful ambient to energetic epiphany) Many updates to be expected for a game already complete. The devs are listening on their discord and are taking into account your suggestions. Thank you!

A simple yet very effective game focus on narration. I think my favorite part of this game is how the gameplay is integrated to the story/narration, often time those two elements feels seperated in horror game, but this one managed to mix the two wonderfully. Overall its a ligth space ship simulation mixed with ressource management (you need to spend your energy well, repair stuff, choose wich stuff is worth staying online, etc etc), now i say "ligh" because its quite simple and easy to handle really, but i think its one of the strenght of the game too, its easy to pick, to play, to enjoy and the immersion is there. Also the devs are very communicative and open about their developpements, wich is great
