ARISE, a game by an evo-web member

[drekkard]

100%
Feel the same way.
I'm constantly looking for games like Firewatch (totally loved it).

And this one, ARISE, looks perfect for me if it wasn't because it's PS4 exclusive. Would love to get it if it was on PC.

It's going to be released on Epic Games Store for PC. I would highly recomend to play it with a game controller like dualshock4 or the Xbox One controller, something with two sticks, as the game makes use of both sticks and the analogic nature of them.

Glad you like it, Another one of those games that everybody needs to play and deserves more downloads!

It's simple, Yet immersive and touching. Pretentious reviewers complained that the puzzles were too easy. They forget that not everybody wants to solve the bloody Da Vinci code when playing a game, Bot everything has to be like Portal.

I watched my Daughter complete this game (I stepped in on a couple of puzzles though) and it was a perfect experience. That's who this game was made for, People who don't necessarily want to even play a game, But want an endearing experience and be told a story with sights and sounds, not words.

Rime mastered this approach. I'll never forget this game.

Great description.
That's why I love Brothers/little nightmares/inside ,no dialogue!
Took me a while before I started to play this one,had it on my radar for a while,but since you recommended it,and it was on game pass!
Stunning game!

Review
"Arise: A Simple Story is easily the best indie title I have ever played"

Bloody well done!

 

[drekkard]

That's an amazing review, thanks! Independently of the scores, we are proud of what we did with few resources and a tight schedule. The game still has some minor issues we are working on to patch, but overall people love the narrative and production values. It has been a long and excruciatingly hard road, but it is so fulfilling when you see people reacting emotionally to it!

I'm playing it litle by litle (not much time). I really love it. It's a beautiful and very touching game. You should be very proud, Alex.

Looking very good, and touching like Stan said. Remind me a bit of Okami, which is one of my favourite game of all time.

I really hope i will get the success it deserves, i will buy it for sure.

 

[drekkard]

Thanks!!! We are now trying to iron out some things in a patch, but we're very very satisfied with the reception so far. Let me know your thoughts if you play it / finish it. It's very valuable information for us.
