Nevermind meeting aliens, this spaceship is bananas! / Lets Play They Look Like People
4Two astronauts in space on an important mission and one of them has brought his own demons. When something unusual happens, nerves and professional behavior at a workplace are put to the test.
So this game was inspired by a Creepshow episode and developed by Jason Wise. I like the look and I think the story is enjoyable if you - unlike me - don’t know the Creepshow episode and therefore can be a bit surprised by what will happen.
However, I do think there’s too much walking and too little talking, meaning that there is hardly anything to discover outside of very simplistic story beats. I think this game would profit a lot from a little more storytelling and world/character building, as it is, it feels just a tiny bit flat.

Ok, so the episode of Creepshow I watched was called “The Right Snuff”, directed by Joe Lynch and written by Paul Dini, Stephen Langford and Greg Nicotero and has cast 00 teen comedy heartthrobs Breckin Meyer and Ryan Kwanten which is kind of hilarious in its own way. It’s not the best horror short I ever watched, not gonna lie (but then again, Creepshow episodes hardly ever are, aside from the very first episode of this new series) but it’s a nice one-time watch.
