First Game Review

This is my first attempt for a game review.  The game I'm reviewing is work-in-progress point-n-click game named "Clozapine" nnangle.wordpress.com/patato/ created by nnangle nnangle.deviantart.com/. It's a demo-length, 2D game with a black and white theme. Seeing that this is a W.I.P, I'll try my best to give a gamer point view. I'll be reviewing all the features added and used in the game.

Game Play and Controls:

Like any point-n-click game, the controls are straight forward. Just click to talk characters, change rooms, collect and use items, interact with objects, etc…  Instead of the usual cursor changing shape to an icon to represent the action you can perform, you get the name over the character/item/object to interact with. Very simple and efficient. There are about two puzzles in this W.I.P and they seem decent enough with good increased difficulty.

Graphics and Interface Design:

The designer was going for scary atmosphere, and he delivered. The real size black&white pixel graphics are beautiful and perfect. The simple animations are smooth and keep the atmosphere going. The interface and GUI is almost none existence, so you get to look at the game room all the time. The inventory has been replaced with a clever way of listing the items directly under the ceiling in a way that doesn't ruin the room design.

Story and Characters:

The story so far follows our mentally-ill hero while he tries to remember his adventure in a search for a missing girl. The characters seem "sold" enough to hold their roles. Their personalities are ambiguous enough to keep them interesting. Unfortunately, the W.I.P stops when the characters "change". I would love to see where this goes.

Music and Sound Effects:

All I can see is that the designer knows how make a scary game.  He has good knowledge of scary effects and how to use them. The background music and effects is the other half the atmosphere, and it's very impressive.

Current Rate: 8/10
Personal opinion: This will hock you in. When you start you won't put it down till you reach the end.

Cheers
