Welcome to Wilmot’s Warehouse, the place packing containers are available and that means fizzles out. Or at the least dissolves into puddles of tenuously-related nonsense. It’s a puzzle game about storing and delivering objects – a number of them, beneath time stress. It got here out yesterday, and may enchantment to anybody who’s ever been secretly happy when huge portions of different-coloured beads have scattered throughout the lounge. Or received a buzz from inserting cutlery in the correct receptacle.
I’ve performed for ten minutes and have already got a pile I’m referring to as “circles I don’t understand”. I feel most individuals will like this, to be sincere. Especially after seeing Pip’s evident delight within the trailer.
Normally I’d say one thing about how a lot I just like the trailer’s understated strategy, however yep, that’s ex-RPSer Philippa Warr. We’ve performed Dota for 1000’s of hours collectively and I’ve all of the bias. You’ll simply must resolve how a lot you prefer it by your self so we are able to transfer on.
The game is sort of a reminiscence problem created from your personal arbitrary choices. The tutorial rubbed that in by telling me to type a pile into “winter” and “hats”, then serving up a woollen hat whereas a triangle who I feel is my supervisor gave me a smug ‘whatcha gonna do’ look. I didn’t get up ready for shock Pip or passive triangle aggression.
It’s being made by Loot Rascals builders Hollow Ponds, who’ve taken a easy concept and sprinkled it with smaller, equally sensible ones. You’re given superb management over transferring a number of packing containers in a method that’s fiddly at first, however earlier than lengthy I do know I’ll be towing packing containers from all 4 of my weirdly sticky sides. Some objects appear to simply be summary shapes, which has already result in me deciding one thing is a ship for comfort’s sake. I’m anxious I’ve already sown the seeds of my very own destruction.
You can seize Wilmot’s Warehouse for £11.40/$15/€12.50 from Steam or Itch.
