6 Days a Sacrifice
(My first attempt at a review, so don't expect anything major..actually, it would be best if you didn't expect anything at all)
<WARNING, GAME CONTAINS (Apparently) EXTREMELY VIOLENT MATERIAL, AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF 13(or was it 18?) VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED> <FURTHER MORE, I HAVE A TENDANCY TO FORGET NAMES, SO SOME NAMES MAY BE er.... DIFFERENT, THEN THEY ACTUALLY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE> 6 Days a Sacrifice is made by a man, known only as Yahtzee. Yes, He has a real name, i think it's Ben, but I'd rather not get int othat. Rather funny guy actually, he has these videos on a website called 'The Escapist'. 6DAS Is the sequel to Trilby's notes which is the sequal to 7 Days a skeptic which is the sequel to 5 days a Stranger. In short, it's the finisher to this wonderful book-quality series that can be beaten in one day via help from one of millions of walkthroughs. It is made using a free game engine called "Adventure Game Studio" Which is meant to let users replicate the Lucas Arts and Sierra Point n' Click adventure games of old, using similare interface/graphics etc. So really, it lets you make games like you see on Abandonia.. Finnally, onto the real review. In 6DAS, you play the role of Theo DeCabe, An inspector of sorts, sent to inspect a building belonging to some cult thingie called Omniosity or something. After 'Falling' Down an elevator shaft, you wake up and find yourself on a bed, some doctor looking over you, and a man by the door guarding it. This is the start of a 'nightmare' thats waited 200 years to unfold. "200 years?" Yes, 200. I forgot to mention, this takes place in the future, ish. Not that you really see any futuristic technoligies. Your in a building the entire time. Anyways, so your on the bed, pretty much crippled and bandaged, and you gotta get outta, so on so forth, then some big guy comes in the room and squashes the guards face inwards. Ironically enough, after you somehow find a way out of the bed, you find yourself in a (Linear) fight for survival, as you try to unlock the mystery of how the guard that guarded you while you became crippled keeps coming back to life (Multipule times might I add) and also why your down here in the first place. Some monk-looking person always locks you in your room at night and doesn't let you leave, beacause the hallways of the facility you are in arn't safe at night. You are stuck here wit 2 other people, a girl named Samantha, and a girl named Janine, who are both trying to escape, but soon get picked off (one of them by you!) and your left alone to solve the mystery of this facility, which was actually built over the DeFoe manor, the exact same place featured in 5 Days a Stranger. Yep, thats why your in this mess, you need to end everything once and for all..... ....though 200 years later (7 days a Skeptic) John DeFunk is roaming around a space ship killing people.......... Positives about the game; Great story, though not as great as previous 3 games Nice, easy to use interface Pixel-Perfect clicking (Even the smallest objects in the game are easy to use) Negatives about the game; Short Small game world Not as Violent as i had originally thought it to be, but still violent none-the-less Little to no music or sound Overall score Graphics-7 (nice pixel graphics of old ) Gameplay- 7 (Good but short) Sound-6 (good sound and music, but it's just not there most parts) OVERALL(No this isn't averaged): 7 out of 10. Good, but in my opinion, not as good as previous titles... |
