In fact, I just clicked on it casually to kill time at first, but ended up playing it in one breath... How can I put it, this game is not fast-paced, but the eerie and classical atmosphere is especially suitable for someone to explore slowly late at night wearing headphones. There is no sudden fear of jumping in the face, but the loneliness that oozes out of the environment makes it even more immersive.
The story tells that Lucia breaks into a red mansion in order to save her brother who was kidnapped by a witch. I was a little surprised that my brother was actually a werewolf, but what touched me even more was the tacit understanding between the brother and sister that they were willing to risk everything for each other. While I was playing, I thought, if someone was willing to break into a strange world for me, I would probably be like Lucia, walking forward despite being scared.
The decryption difficulty is quite friendly to a handicapped person like me. The clues are not hidden very cleverly, but it requires patient observation. There are so many details in the image, and the sense of tranquility when playing late at night is amplified. Every painting and every crack seems to be telling a story. At some points, I stared at the screen for a long time, and I felt like I was trapped in that mansion.
Oh, yes, the opening sentence "She was convinced that if it were her brother, she would do the same thing", I was stunned for a few seconds. This is probably family. Although they may not talk much at ordinary times, but in a critical moment, no one will leave anyone behind.
By the time I reached the end of the game, it was already starting to get bright, and there were birds chirping outside the window, which was in great contrast to the damp and gray tones in the game. I stretched out and suddenly felt that it was a blessing to be able to stay up late and play games so freely. Although I have to go to work with dark circles under my eyes tomorrow... I will remember this red mansion tonight.
If you also like slow-paced puzzle solving and are willing to sink into a somewhat sad story late at night, you can give it a try. But don't be like me and lose track of time as soon as you play🦉💤
