The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
The oh shit heard round the world
Seeing as this was updated recently, I'd like to take the time to state that I really do want to enjoy this game, but it's a little buggy for me. I'm not sure if that's the right term for it.
I start the game and I do what needs to be done, [e] to interact and pressing [e] again to stop interacting. However, a few times that caused my game to just...stall? Like, no input would let me exit(and obviously not [e]) the action. So I'd have to close and open the game again and again and each time it's always something random that won't allow me to continue.
Wondering if this is an issue on my end or something else :o
Tried out the game some time back. Real confusing, but I liked it.
It's certainly interesting. The concept plays off real world horrors more than most horror games, but it comes off as kind of abstract. Somewhat fitting for the main character's psyche.
Thank you for the key.
Led a Long Way Down is a very different sort of game, with elements not explored in games very often, if at all. That’s much appreciated, as it’s very easy for genre games to copy the same formula over and over. At first I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, but part of the fun was discovering it on my own. The longer I played, the more the story came together. Led a Long Way Down has a stylish charm to it, and it’s worth playing more than once. Well worth the price of admission!
