ATadMad's review of The Shattering
3.5/5
I was going to give it a 4 until the ending, which was a bit of a let down unfortunately. But this game very cleverly manipulates colour to invoke a constant sense of isolation and suffocation. They nail the descent into madness pretty well. Soundtrack is great. Main voice actor is kind of annoying but easy to get past.
Overall definitely one of the better psychological indie horrors out there.
I enjoyed this enough to finish it but the story is a hot mess. It's all over the place. I was fine with it during the majority of the game because I thought they'd clear some things up before the end. But then the ending happened - cue the disappointment. If you want me to interpret the story for myself, you also need to give me enough clear hints to do so.
On the other hand, the depiction of the main characters descent into madness is great and the stylistic choices really add to the experience.
...that said, did anyone else feel like they were being mocked by the narrator/psychologist?
