No70: Eye of Basir [i don't even know - sim] 3/3 w/timestamps
0Turned down the gamma in this segment - i honestly forgot i had turned it up, untill i started this chapter. cause WHOA it was bright!
*I am unsure of this house changes once in a while - for instance at some point there is a sofa blocking your way upstairs, and then there is not. I don't know if it's because I went the way i did around the house, or if it's something i did that triggered it - but yeah things seems to change.
01:18 pick up book1
*going down the hall upstairs, will trigger a door to open, and you can't move (much like with the toy rabbit) its just a cut scene'esque IT easter egg I suppose. After it ended it will open again and you can decend the stairs. (why anyone has stairs to a basement from the first floor is a mystery to me, but oh well, i don't understand what the hell is going on in general in this game - so don't question it)
05:17 open the door in the basement (left of where you enter) and you find yourself back where you started - as I said, don't question it.
*exiting the basement will trigger that you are cut off from the first floor by a sofa. BUT go around the hall counter clockwise, and when you find yourself back at the main hall, you see the sofa is gone, and you can go upstairs again. (not sure if you triggered it somehow by walking down the corridor, or if you'd find the sofa there if you turn around and go clockwise back).
06:39 cheap ass jumpscare - that i wish wasn't in the game =/
*you can now enter the two bedrooms upstairs that was locked before
06:55 pick up book2
09:18 open the drawer and You will find yourself in a sort of silent hill like world
09:32 pick up book3.
*All you need to do to escape the room - is walk straight across the flames and towards where the door is supposed to be, and the world returns to normal.
10:50 place the books, to activate the mechanism and open the door.
11:12 use Bashir with the G-key looking thing
And that is it...
I have no clue what is going on, who are these people they introduce to us in the beginning? who are we? I mean I think we are probably Erhan, the brother of Aras. Grandchild of Ibrahim and Sadaat. But why are we doing this? and the other people, who are they? I gathered as much as there is the brotherhood of Bashir, who apparently guards this artifact (the eye) to keep some doors closed. Not sure if it's the doors we close - and why?
At some point we're told the eye was misused and the doors opened, and some transdimentional evil stuff happened? and so someone (not sure who, maybe Ibrahim?) looked for the doors to close them, but he couldn't find them. And then he died and Sadaat hid the eye.
If we work from the thesis that it's the doors we close, then why was it so hard for him, and not for us? What part of this does Aras have? we hear about him often, but i'm unclear of his role. And who the fuck is the creepy kid? I give up, i don't understand this story at all!
But i do like the game actually, even if it makes me feel like i missed season one of a series. it's pretty and i had a good time playing.
