CONCLUSE [4F] TO BE CONCLUSEDED
1Interesting. With that ending it felt like it became more of a teaser than a full game. Although with 2 hours of gameplay for free, I can't really complain.
CONCLUSE was a fairly enjoyable game that, while it had some very clear Silent Hill influences (ex-lover drawing you to a secluded down, a specific use of static), managed to find its own voice after the beginning. Its gameplay very quickly deviated from that of Silent Hill. The plot, as far as I found it, was sparse, and didn't find it necessary to stick to realism.
The complaints that I have from the first video still apply. Find a better font. Don't use texture filtering for this retro game. Tone down the noise effect. But I also have a couple more. It would be nice to have more variety in the visuals of the game. It was all pretty much exclusively monochromatic visuals, with darkness always only a few steps away. It led to subsequent areas becoming bland, as they quickly resembled the earlier ones.
The atmosphere was satisfying, as it never resorted to jump scares to build up the mood, instead often creating the expectation of a jump scare, and never delivering, which is a fairly effective way of building suspense.
However, I wanted some payoffs for what it set up. The VHS tapes were never addressed. The mysterious creatures seemed to never be addressed. Carolyn's presence was never addressed (unless I called her more, maybe).
Also. Let me skip the cutscene every time I open the game.
