Flotsam takes a journey through the bits and pieces of memories, archetypes and illusions in an unforgettable, surreal world. Does experiencing the "Shimmering World" create a strong reaction?

Excellent work Flotsam! I haven't been so impressed with an adventure game in years.

Thanks for the review!! I've just gotten Outcry and began it the other night, and after reading this wonderfully well-written review I'm now eager to get back into it and see if I can figure out what it's all about. smile

Thanks for the review, just one confirmation, this if first-person right? I am not sure if it's mentioned in the review.

Sorry Butcher, I certainly should have said blush


Quantity has a quality all of its own

I have great hopes for this game. And the reviews I read seem to support them.

Incredibly perceptive review, thanks Flotsam. I especially liked the descriptive phrase "Escher-esque" applied to Shimmering World. I'm about 3/4 into the game and hate to be so near the end. This is Lost Crown on steroids, and after I complete it I dont think I will ever play another Adventure game without mentally comparing it to Outcry. This will set a standard for other game developers to emulate for years to come...
