Silent Breach

[b] Update to Reflect the Patch: [/b] the game is a completely different thing from what I originally played, the locations and immersion are much better now, but in a few aspects it also lost a few interesting elements. But props to the dev for responding to feedback, if you make another game I will support it, good mentality to move forward, and I feel like you learned a lot in those 30 days working on the update. Keep doing events like the segment during last scene more often, balance unique events between navigation, and I think you’ll get there. (review below is completely outdated, the game got a big overhaul) Ironically I could not tell you how it compares to the original game, but I have played a few similar titles, and as a horror game I thought this came a little short. To be fair I don't think the gameplay is the problem, more so the actual vibes, even though you have all of the things that I wanted, you didn't give me much in terms of anticipation. The game can be compl...

Copy of Iron Lung without the tension, mystery, and a very frustrating UI. You can't use the controls and see things you need to be watching at the same time. The maps you navigate are 3D worlds with barriers and elevations to deal with. Imagine playing an FPS where you have to use WASD as your movement, but can only press one key at a time, and you have to look at the keys when you want to press one, then look back at the screen, then back at the keys when you need to press another one. This feels like a good learning experience for the developer. To copy a simple game they enjoy, but this definitely shouldn't be sold as a finished product in my opinion. TL;DR It's a copy of Iron Lung without any of the things that made that game work.

[i] Silent Breach [/i] is a game that attempts to follow in the footsteps of similar titles such as [i] Iron Lung [/i] and [i] Voyager-19. [/i] The plot centers around [spoiler] scientist Alex Raine using a rover to explore a desolate planet known as a Silent Zone that has been encompassed by an unknown mist. This mist has radically changed the environment, and it is up to Alex, and by extension the player, to uncover the mystery. [/spoiler]. [h3] Areas of Improvement [/h3] [i] Silent Breach [/i] stands apart from these other titles, letting the player see a live monitor of their surroundings rather than driving blind and using pictures to take in their surroundings. This works both in its favor, allowing for a more seamless method of traveling, but detracts from the suspense due to negating the "fear of the unknown" that previous titles capitalized on. Creatures are seen rather quickly into the game's play time, reducing that element of the unknown that worked so well for other ...

Very solidly made game! I do have a handful of complaints though, but more in terms of execution. The controls are mighty frustrating, mostly because you have to keep looking down to change direction which makes you lost track of where you're moving when you're looking around with the camera. I also found that some of the locations were frustrating because you end up circling the facilities / location multiple times to find the hidden entrance. Aside from that, I think the game is put together really well, and it's worth the sale price. Just wish I was a tad smarter because I'm not sure how to get any ending other than the [spoiler]ending where you go through the portal and walk into the entity[/spoiler]

Early review, but highly recommend the game! Ambience is amazing and it actually gives a great horror vibe, which not many games manage to do. Gameplay is interesting and keeps you engaged. Interested in future patches and games from this developer!

I do not like this game. It takes elements from stuff like scavenger SV-4 and makes it not fun. makes it more of a chore to move around and navigate then it actually should be.
