Truth About Twiter…

 

My experience with “The Graveyard”

and so it begidddddns... the end.

The Graveyard is a very short computer game designed by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn. You play an old lady who visits a graveyard. You walk around, sit on a bench and listen to a song. It’s more like an explorable painting than an actual game. An experiment with realtime poetry, with storytelling without words.

The Graveyard is a free game and if you visited the link you might have also noticed that there’s an option to pay $5 to unlock the possibility of the main character dying.  Two questions/thoughts popped into mind when i first read that.  1) Watching her die must add a significant emotional impact to the story and how they build up to it may be interesting.  2) Would i pay $5 to watch an old lady kick the bucket?  Might seem a bit weird to most people but for me?  Yeah you guessed it, I was happy to oblige.

what’s in the box?

 

Zeno Clash on Steam – 50% atm!

I think it’s pretty awesome that steam likes to offer lower prices for games they host. I think it’s a business model that works and benefits everyone involved. Left 4 Dead’s weekend promo ($19.95) saw sales of that title rose by 3000%! With the cost of Anti-Piracy tools and software costing developers so much» and the cost of games staying at a ridiculous price why not just give in and lower prices just a bit?

Moving forward, Zeno Clash seems to be a fun game. Only 20 bucks thats like 1/3 of a night at the bar! Gonna have to check out The Path also on steam this weekend. Oh! forgot to mention the path is only $9.95!

Steam is definitely one of the forces behind supporting smaller development companies on the PC, XBLA  being the best for consoles.
