I don’t suppose I’ve ever performed as a annoyed telemarketer in a video game earlier than, however that’s Sunny, the protagonist of Where The Bees Make Honey, a story puzzle game that launched earlier this week. It’s not a game about making chilly calls, although, however as an alternative about reminiscing on the freedoms of childhood. Here’s a trailer exhibiting off a few of these moments of reflection, all made hazy by what I assume is the visible illustration of nostalgia.
According to the game’s Steam web page, the game combines first-person exploration of Sunny’s office with the puzzle-box like vignettes. In mixture, they construct a narrative of a lady who is clearly fed up along with her job and eager to return to a time “where playing dress up was larger than life and changed the environments around you.” How precisely the bee and honeycomb motifs determine into the entire thing is unclear, however I suppose that’s a case of taking part in to search out out.
Different vignettes may have completely different mechanics, together with various “from arcade styled vehicle gameplay to stealthy interactions.” That appears lots of various things to suit into one bundle, but when they’re all packed up into their very own brief sections, it might work.
The brightly colored private reflection dioramas are harking back to The Gardens Between, one other game about childhood and circling a stage based mostly on the wild imaginings of childhood that I liked a lot. It’s a style with lots of potential for exploration and I’ll be comfortable if we proceed to see extra of it.
Where The Bees Make Honey is accessible now on Steam for £7.19/$9.99/€8.19.
