This cult game was created by Scott Cawthon in 2014 as a response to the criticism received by his previous game, where the main character (a beaver) was compared to the terrifying animatronic dolls typical of many fast food restaurants. Many security guards have already fallen at your post, will you be up to it? But be careful, you have limited energy for each night and you can't keep all your defenses on all the time or it will wear out and you'll be exposed to any doll with bloody intentions. Turning on the lights can scare them off and some of them can only be stopped by closing the doors. To do this you will have a number of tools at your disposal.ĭig in to your sentry box and check the security cameras, so you can see which dolls have woken up and where they are in the restaurant. A boring job, isn't it? Only every night, the animatronic dolls come to life and roam the restaurant's halls, turned into deranged killers, eager to avenge their pitiful existence.Īs a security guard you must survive the night and make sure that the dolls don't escape from the restaurant and spread chaos and terror wherever they go.

If anything, they have laid out the groundwork for something bigger and better further down the road.Īmanda French first cut her gaming teeth by playing such classics as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Super Mario World at the ripe age of four. If you’re into writing, you may find it amusing, but it quickly loses its appeal after one complete “playthrough.” I do applaud Dejobaan and Popcannibal for trying to come up with something outside of the box, and let’s hope we can get more original ideas like this in the future. I cannot recommend Elegy for a Dead World. Right now, I don’t think it’s worth $14.99, despite the noble concept and gorgeous art. This game was launched three months earlier than the devs originally had planned, but in my honest opinion, I think they should have spent that time beefing up their game. There has been talk of planned updates by the devs on the Steam forums. For a lot of people (not all) half the point of writing is for someone to read the work, and with this system, you’d be lucky if someone can even see your story at all! This is a major aspect of the game, and I wish the devs focused on it more. What frustrates me is that you cannot read anyone else’s writing until you go to the end of a world, and even then, you get one story at random. There isn’t even an external site where all the stories are collected. When you’re done, you can share your work for others to read in-game, but you can’t export it as a PDF, or direct publish it to blogs or other sites. That’s damn hard for the following reasons: Completing the worlds doesn’t even unlock anything, and the only Steam achievements are for getting 1,000 commendations (basically a thumbs up) for your stories. These worlds are beautifully illustrated by artist Luigi Guatieri, and are directly inspired by such great authors as Byron, Shelley, and Keats. You could go through the worlds with a number of different prompts to help you come up with a story, or you can go into “free-write” mode, but really, there isn’t much to interact with.

Elegy for a Dead World features three “worlds” to explore in a limited side-scrolling field. I’d call this an exploration game like Gone Home, but even the latter had some degree of obstacles to overcome. It’s all about self-fulfillment, not measurable achievement. This is greatly lacking in Elegy, and it’s important potential buyers are aware of this. Ordinarily I’d think this is awesome, as I like to write novels, but usually what people consider to be a “game” contains some element of direct or in-direct reward for tasks completed. Just you and whatever ideas you can come up with. There are no easter eggs, puzzles, or action. Developed in collaboration by Dejobaan Games ( AaAaAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, The Wonderful End of the World) and Popcannibal ( Girls Like Robots), the basic concept is to write. That’s it. Elegy for a Dead World is… strange, to say the least.
