Played a bit of
Ether One over the weekend. It's a first person adventure game which seems to tackle the subject of dementia and human memory. You play as someone going into a patient's mind and try to restore their memory and as you do you piece together a story of what happened in this persons life etc. It's interesting, the game itself plays like
Myst, where you get to stroll through an environment solving puzzles in non-sequential order by finding clues in other areas. So that safe you found in the pub can only be unlocked by finding the safe combination in a house for example. One thing the game doesn't make clear is that you can only hold one item at a time, but what you're supposed to do is warp back between the world and the hub (which is instant) and store items there. So I worry I may have screwed myself over because I left items in places where I didn't find them first time
Why they just didn't give the player an inventory I don't know. Also, it's a game which could really benefit from a map and a journal of some kind to take down notes. At this rate, I'd be better off capturing notes through the PS4 share function or on my phone. The game doesn't run great either. But like I said, it's interesting, will see how far I get with it.
Any Castlevania fans might want to give a look at
Bloodstained : Ritual Of The Night, a Kickstarter project by Koji Igarashi, the designer of the old school Castelvania games. I've been dying for another one and this looks to be the spiritual successor which ticks all the boxes. 2017 seems like a long way to wait!
