I’ve not but performed If Found… however a number of of us on my Twitter timeline appear to be digging in and I normally take that as a optimistic signal. It’s an interactive story game that claims it’s about “going home, coming out, and erasing everything” when a woman named Kasio returns dwelling to Ireland in 1993.
The game seems to unfold as you’re taking an eraser to the generally lined and generally vivid watercolor pages of Kaiso’s diary. It’s bought a stunning hand-drawn type and what appears like a soothing soundtrack as effectively.
Dreamfeel say it’s additionally bought “awkward crushes, the planet Jupiter, many kisses, a punk concert, confusion, happiness, a cute dog, and a break in.” Which, yeah, sounds compelling sufficient whenever you take away the context. Also there’s a black gap threatening to finish the world?
Philippa Warr played a much earlier version at EGX Rezzed again in 2016 when its title was only a bit longer. She already noticed promise in it, saying “it properly sucked me in as this delicate, beautifully structured thing, peculiarly tactile thanks to the mixture of sketchy image, zooming and erasing.”
There’s a really intimate and intimidating high quality to an previous diary. There’s an individual you was in there and also you may not like getting reacquainted with them. Perhaps I ought to go destroy my very own previous diaries earlier than I take a torch to Kaiso’s.
You can discover If Found… over on Steam for £10.29/€ 10.79/$ 12.99.
