Albino Lullaby is a game that genuinely nails how to fix an atmosphere. You detect yourself thrown into this foreign earth together with everything is thus foreign together with off-putting. Notes scattered all over the home turn over you lot an insight into it's foreign inhabitants thoughts, which exclusively adds to the creepyness. In this surreal Victorian town you lot encounter just about weird creatures that are somehow both goofy inward appearance, yet oddly offputting together with creepy at the same time. Several of them stimulate got dialogue that exposes just about of their creepy civilization together with odd society. They see you lot a "worm" that must live caught, together with you lot volition shout for to avoid them past whatever agency necessary together with escape this place.
For this, you lot stimulate got at your disposal several gameplay mechanics, which are introduced inward a fairly gradual way.You volition shout for to purpose stealth to avoid these creatures together with progress, initially. You tin force out purpose special lamps scattered throughout the degree to brand "safe spots" the creatures can't acquire to, but exclusively for just about seconds. And together with thus 1 of the best features of the game, the switching together with activating of diverse traps that transform the degree layout itselft. The earth is total of moving parts that operate rattling good together to brand diverse expiry traps that volition both challenge you lot together with assist you lot past manipulating them to your needs.
There's likewise just about sections where you lot shout for to run together with evade the creatures equally fast equally possible, together with you lot likewise acquire a device that helps you lot brand the creatures dissapear for a flake thus you lot tin force out progress (this device tin force out sometimes stimulate got away a flake of the tension of beingness chased, but I mean it's used sparringly enough).
Do listen that the game isn't actually what somebody would commonly telephone phone "scary". You volition non detect the common scares that would look on your comely horror game. It goes for uncoterietling together with surreal imagery together with sound blueprint that ever brand you lot see this earth such a creepy together with off-putting one. I mean this where the game shines, past beingness atmospheric rather than outright scary. You volition likewise detect just about disturbing to a greater extent than disturbing imagery together with refrences that spell won't scare you, they volition creep the hell out of you.
Coupled amongst cracking earth building, I actually stimulate got to refer the sound blueprint of the game- It's legit 1 of the nigh professional person crafting of sound i've ever seen(or rather, heard) inward a indie game. The sound-mixing is actually top-notch, together with it actually contributes to the atmosphere. Doors opening, flooring creaking, pieces together with gears moving, sound cues of enemies, all feels rattling good placed together with of cracking quality. If you lot stimulate got a expert sound organisation you lot volition actually treasure all of this equally good equally the cracking sound positioning.
To add together to that, I stimulate got to tell that there's likewise cracking vocalism acting, coupled amongst expert purpose of vocalism modulation. The voices check the characters perfectly together with constitue a large office of their creepyness.
The soundtrack is likewise of note, amongst themes that are both soothing together with calm spell at same fourth dimension feeding into the whole surreal vibe.
While I actually enjoyed, that is of class non tell that I didn't stimulate got just about issues. The game does stimulate got a few flaws. My biggest pet-peeve is a sure department of the game(won't spoil much, but involves luring a creature) that breaks the pacing the game a flake together with wasn't especially creepy or added aught of meat to the game inward that detail area. The game does recover afterwards that together with gets the step upward again.
There's a few sections where the game doesn't seem to straight you lot to progress, together with you lot may detect yourself lost or fifty-fifty stuck sometimes. Biggest offender was a home where I was apparently(though I could stimulate got missed something, comely enough, although I did explore quite a flake the area) supposed to purpose the logic of a map exploiter together with spring on a debate at a sure angle to live able to access the area. Nothing on this expanse suggests that's the manner to stimulate got or hint a it inward the slightest.
I've likewise run into a few bugs:
- Sometimes, when you lot respawn, the enemy spawns tin force out acquire messed up(this exclusively appears to hap inward 1 expanse however). Specifically, in that location volition live to a greater extent than enemies each fourth dimension you lot respawn, sometimes spawning upwards of 30/40 enemies where commonly would stimulate got been fifteen or less, together with tin force out actively brand your progress impossible equally the transparent number of them volition live plenty to obstruct you. This põrnikas tin force out live "fixed" past restarting the game.
- I've had severe functioning issues inward the terminal area. Until this area, I was running the gamesolace ably @2880x1620 without a hitch. However, upon reaching this area, it straight off dropped to lower 20s. Scaled dorsum to 1080p together with spell better, it nonetheless struggles to agree xxx fps together with volition live inward the mid-twenties a lot throughout nigh the level. However, there's 1 specific room inward this are where the issues the nigh drastic: upon this room "spawning" the game volition imeddiately drib to 15-17fps, together with if you lot farther enterprise into it volition acquire fifty-fifty lower, non fifty-fifty managing x fps together with if you lot acquire just about specific places it volition fifty-fifty acquire equally depression equally two FPS. My rig is a 4690k amongst a GTX 970, thus It doesn't seem to live an outcome amongst my build. I promise this gets patched rapidly equally it tin force out actually sour the enjoyment of a otherwise cracking performing game.
Overall, I mean it's a rattling promissing game based on this episode, together with manages to proceed the gameplay somewhat fresh throughout the episode, never having actually a irksome instant to verbalise of. I'd actually advise keeping a middle on this game, which equally the potential to live really, actually expert inward the next episodes.
7.5/10(easily a viii afterwards the issues are fixed)
+ Great artstyle, coupled amongst wonderful atmosphere together with earth building
+ Creepyness oozes throughout everything together with ever keeps you lot on your toes
+ Gameplay that feels fresh through the whole episode
+ Amazing sound design
