Atmospheric psx walking sim

Sagebrush is a well made walking sim with a psx art style, where you explore the aftermath of a cult gone wrong. Its slow methodical narrative is interesting, and the little gameplay offered is well executed. But… it’s a walking sim, so hard to rate any higher.

Sagebrush is a well made walking sim with a psx art style, where you explore the aftermath of a cult gone wrong. Its slow methodical narrative is interesting, and the little gameplay offered is well executed. But… it’s a walking sim, so hard to rate any higher.

The puzzles here are fun to solve. They pretty much are always keys and doors, but there’s a couple that take some logic and thinking which I enjoyed. The way the game slowly reveals the dark side of the cult as you explore was also very well done and interesting. The atmosphere is legit creepy at times as well.

If you want a 1-2 hour walking sim in a unique cult environment, there’s not many games that fit the bill. It’s enjoyable enough even for me, who tends to not click with the genre, so it’s worth looking into.

I got this game today on sale on PS5 for just $0.59. For the price, it was worth the experience.

I have always been compelled at how cults work, how they can control people. It is scary and fascinating. Sagebrush was a short experience looking into the lives of a group of people who devoted their beings to a man's ideals. It showed how little by little things turned out for the worse.

It is a game on the slow side, more a walking simulator and a key hunting game. For me this was fine, because I was into piecing out the story. The only thing is that I wish I had notice that I could run in the game sooner. I spent about half of it, slowly walking back and forth... I even fell asleep once. After I noticed I could run, it was a piece of cake.

Short creepy experience. Well made, although there was nothing extraordinary about it.
