Sixteenth game finished this year: Call of the Elder Gods. I really liked the story in this one and it had a really fun elaborate deduction puzzle in chapter 4 that was very satisfying to me as a Golden Idol super-fan. I think it was a great sequel where they really developed the storytelling techniques from Call of the Sea.

Just started this one and so far it is a wonderful sequel to Call of the Sea. The storytelling quality is higher with a great production design.

I think this is totally fine -- they're not trying to be Myst and Riven.
Looking forward to more.

Just like Call of The Sea, this game has my same pet peeve as some survival horror games - only having one singular gigantic puzzle at a time.

Just like Call of The Sea, this game has my same pet peeve as some survival horror games - only having one singular gigantic puzzle at a time. Most of the game is walking around, empty space, some bits of lore, and finding an occasional clue that is just one part of a ton of clues you need to find to solve one singular puzzle.
I much prefer games like Lorelei and the Laser Eyes or even Resident Evil 1-3, where you juggle multiple puzzles that kind of interlock. When a game is puzzle-heavy, I think it needs this kind of interlocking design to really feel like a game… otherwise it’s just a borderline walking sim.
So same as Hollowbody and Post Trauma, this just didn’t grab me. I love the developer’s OTHER game American Arcadia… but this first person puzzle genre they’ve been dabbling in just doesn’t do it for me.
2.8/10
