Antichamber First Impression

Antichamber is a super weird, mind bending/warping/tripping, etc... exploratory game. It is confusing, just like The Stanley Parable. I love Antichamber because it is so weird. You really have to think outside the box to figure out because in order for things to work, you have to do something that you would not have expected or thought of. Sometimes you may even have to backtrack so that you can progress.

If you decide to play Antichamber, in which I highly recommend that you do, you'd better be prepared to be amazed! The things you can do in this game are so freaking awesome! It is full of puzzles that you have to figure out and choices that'll take you in a totally different direction, or maybe not so different... Once you've been to a particular part though, you can return there any time you want from the main menu area.

I honestly can't see why it was called Antichamber, the title just doesn't make sense to me. At the same time, I cannot think of any other name for this game that would be catchy, descriptive or the like. Seriously, go play Antichamber for yourself and you'll feel weirded out by different things afterward. Actually, now that I think of it, Antichamber could very well teach you how think outside the box and not take what you see, hear, taste smell or feel for granted.

Maybe Antichamber is more than just a game. It could be a teaching tool, if you use it as such and focus on those aspects of what it makes you do.

Submerged First Impression

Submerged is such a cool game with parkour elements in it! There is absolutely no combat in Submerged, so no running away from anything, but you climb buildings! Free-climbing that is. The premise of Submerged is that you play as a girl whose little brother is wounded and you have fled to this city that is in ruins and, quite literally, submerged, in search of supplies to save him from dying.

There is a huge amount of exploration involved in this game, you start on a boat, find a building and climb to the top to find supplies and story bits of what happened to the city. The entirety of the story is told without words, except for your character saying what she needs for her brother, Taku, next. There are different creatures in the game that you can find journal entries for as well. All the journal entries are pictures, again, no words.

Now, with there being no combat in Submerged, there are still creatures that can be scary at first. Especially in one particular scene after you return to Taku. If you want to know more about that, I suggest you buy the game and play it for yourself! If you want to see my reaction to it you'll have to check out my channel! You can, however, watch my first video on Submerged here, and if you like it, go to my channel and subscribe for more!

Submerged is a great, relaxing game that I really enjoy, and the story will be great to mull over once I find all parts of it! Figuring out what the pictures say will be an awesome experience, to say the least! I love that Submerged has parkour elements in it as well, because I actually do parkour myself. Having that implemented in games is great for me because I literally put myself in it and it gives me new ideas for when I train. That is a bit more of a personal reason why I like Submerged.

CAT Interstellar First Impression

CAT Interstellar is a brand new game that is about terraforming a planet. You play as a robot called DOG and are helping to accomplish this task. At the start, there is quite a bit of dialog, but as I state in my video, that's not necessarily a bad thing. That is something could change too, when the full game is released. Currently, the game needs to relay the backstory to you in the miniscule amount of time that you have to play it. Basically, CAT Interstellar is a demo at this time.

For what the game is right now, I actually enjoyed it. There's a small bit to explore, but as it is a demo version, there isn't much to explore. I wound up going the wrong way and couldn't get passed an invisible wall, which meant that I had to go ALL the way back around again! It's actually kinda funny! I don't want to give too much away here, that would be a lot of words, but one more thing: there's explosions! Too much? Nah...

Go give CAT Interstellar a try for yourself and let me know what you think about it! You can take a look at my video of it down below, and if you enjoy that video, go to my YouTube channel and subscribe for more!

The Stanley Parable First Impression

The Stanley Parable is a great experience that you have to try, and here is why:

When I found The Stanley Parable, it was on sale and I was overjoyed to see it! I had to have it! This is the game that I started making YouTube videos of in the first place. I have wanted to get this game for so long, and now I have it.
I first played the demo, which, oddly enough, is a pretty good show of what the actual game is. It is a crazy, nonsensical game that messes with you over and over again. You have a few different choices when play. Or do you? As you play, weird stuff starts happening and you start to wonder if everything you can interact with affects gameplay or not. There was a phone that I answered in the very beginning one time that asked me to confirm a shipment of over 1000 cardboard boxes. I confirmed it and I wondered
"Okay, is this significant in some way? Is there going to be a new door that is open somewhere, or can I see something totally different?"
I never did find anything... Everything just played out the same as it had before, with me taking different paths than the last time, of course. The narrator is the same all the time, but he changes his persona slightly depending on your choices. He'll either try to help you or he'll grow spiteful like some vengeful deity and try to end your game.
The Stanley Parable is a great exploration game. You literally just want to explore everything that you possibly can. There's so many more endings in this game that I have yet to find, and I am excited to see what those may be!
Take a look at my playthrough of The Stanley Parable Demo here and check out my channel down below to see the other videos that I have done! Please feel free to leave me a comment here and on my channel! Thanks for reading, and Godbless!
