Edge of Sanity (Nintendo Switch) Review - If the Cthulian horrors don’t get you, the bugs will...
44Edge of Sanity as a concept is great but less so in execution. It’s a narrative-driven cosmic-horror survival game, set in the Alaskan wilderness circa 1970, in which protagonist Carter attempts to rescue and sustain a motley band of survivors, fleeing an industrial accident that may have released otherworldly creatures. It’s got detailed and atmospheric pixel art environments; well-animated and gruesome sprites; and a strong focus on stealth and puzzle-like combat that rewards caution and preparation – a combination of designs I enjoy. However, the further I played, the more often scripting and dialogue bugs would ruin the experience.
