If a man writes "death" a thousand times, he starts to wonder, is that even a word? But it is...
Strangeland, a psychological horror adventure game set within a funhouse of the mind, has just released for PC on Steam and GOG. Normally priced at $14.99 / £11.39, the game is on sale for 10% off through June 1.Flotsam's review will be up shortly! Check out the trailer here.Check out the official website here. Strangeland is a pixel art point & click adventure developed by Wormwood Studios, who last released the acclaimed Primordia in 2012, and published by Wadjet Eye Games, an indie studio well known for its catalog of high-quality adventure games.
You play as a nameless Stranger grappling with dark questions in a nightmarish carnival where a golden-haired woman keeps throwing herself down a well. Who is she? Can you save her... or can she save you? The search for answers only raises more questions as a growing Dark Thing threatens to overtake the park and swallow the Stranger's soul in the process.
Creative puzzles, evocative hand-drawn graphics, and nuanced symbolism make for a unique narrative game that will make you think -- and, perhaps unexpectedly, will make you hope.
Features: • A bizarre dreamscape brought to life with striking and surreal pixel art graphics • Clever puzzles with layered solutions -- sometimes more than one • A rich allegorical story about identity, loss, and redemption that can only be fully understood if you look beyond what's in front of you -- it's a puzzle all on its own • An integrated hint system, for those who want it • Play it again: hours of developer commentary and an "annotation mode" shed light on the game's numerous metaphors, references, and enigmas
Happy Gaming!
Don't feed the Trolls
