Let's Play Shardlight - About the gameplay & Shardlight walkthrough:
The world ended on the day the bombs fell. Since then, it’s always been like this: disease, hunger, death. The ruling Aristocrats — a faceless oligarchy that controls all resources — have unchallenged authority. There’s never enough food, water, or vaccine to go around. The rich receive regular doses of vaccinations in exchange for their unconditional government support. The poor live in fear, superstition, and squalor until they die.
Shardlight is a game where you play as Amy Wellard, a young woman reluctantly working for the government to qualify for the vaccine lottery, believes there’s a cure — and she’s going to find it. Even if it costs her her life.
About this lets play Shardlight part 1: We are sent to fix the nuclear reactor but discover the fate of the man that came before us. We are also tasked with delivering a letter and learn that Amy is dying and needs the vaccine.
Set years after the bombs have dropped, when a new generation of adults barely remember the times of plenty before, Shardlight’s setting is interesting within the hoary trope of post-apocalyptictown mainly by how destitute it isn’t. Times are very hard, the regular citizen has no access to electricity, and fresh food is hard to come by. But there are markets, businesses, a functioning society. And indeed there’s a new authority, the Aristocracy, a pastiche of the Elizabethan era of powdered wigs and whited faces, who live in decadence while the masses are dying in the streets of a disease called Green Lung.
You’re Amy Wellard, a mechanic who has contracted the disease. As such, she has taken on a “Lottery Job”, menial or dangerous tasks given out by the Aristocracy in order that citizens can earn lottery tickets for access to the limited stocks of vaccine. And as you attempt to fix a power supply in a dangerously crumbling sewer, you encounter a dying man who gives you a clue to a secret, underground rebellion.
Shardlight part 1 sees Amy Wellard hard reset a nuclear reactor as part of a Lottery Job. In this Shardlight gameplay walkthrough we cover the enitre game.
The world of Shardlight is unique. Sure, it's yet another post-apocalyptic dystopia, but it's a dystopia with style. Even though it's set in the late 21st century, two decades after a nuclear war, everything in it harks back to the past. From the architecture to the broken-down cars, you could believe the bombs dropped in the 1950s, not the 2050s. Then there's the Aristocracy, who've borrowed their sense of style directly from the French Revolution, and their idols (and names) from the Romans. Their leader goes by Tiberius, while the head of the revolutionaries – in a nod to her French counterparts – is Danton. The Reapers, in turn, prefer to revel in Victoriana, with their formal black coats and top hats. Yet despite all that, a sprinkling of more futuristic technology, such as a touch-screen navigation system and a reactor-in-a-jar, reminds you that this is indeed the future, albeit a future obsessed with the past. This is a game steeped in history, even as its characters appear to have forgotten history's most important lessons.
What definitely helps sell Shardlight, though, is that it definitely does look frigging gorgeous. As with all Wadjet Eye games, pixel art is used to its finest effect here, having crafted every little bit of scenery with incredible details and little animations throughout. Even if it’s not the most creative world, it still manages to come across as a living, breathing piece of beauty (you know, ignoring the wrecked machinery, corpses and whatnot). The portraits of the characters are also equally amazing, helped by the voice actors doing some stellar work.
Shardlight takes just under five hours to complete in this Walkthrough of the game. We look forward to the next project that Wadjet Eye Games releases after Shardlight.
