Clinically Dead

Clinically Dead, developed by Mogila Games and published by Ultimate Games S.A., is a first-person puzzle adventure that builds its entire identity around a single, striking concept: the final seconds of a man’s life stretched into a surreal eternity. Rather than presenting a conventional narrative or action-driven structure, the game immerses players in a metaphysical exploration of consciousness, memory, and time as experienced by its protagonist, Mr. Samson, in the moments between life and death. The premise unfolds immediately after Mr. Samson suffers a fatal incident. While only seconds pass in reality, his perception distorts those fleeting moments into a prolonged psychological journey. The game visualizes this internal limbo through abstract environments where color itself dictates the flow of time. Different hues represent varying temporal intensities, transforming the act of movement into an interaction with time. Blue zones correspond to shorter temporal spans, while red areas indicate extended moments, effectively turning the environment into a shifting temporal landscape that players must learn to interpret. Gameplay revolves around manipulating this time-space mecha…

Was fine up to the point where the game introduced caged enemies that will come after you if the cages are lifted.

I got this game on an ultra steep sale for 89 cents. I figured I couldn't possibly go wrong with a bargain bin game that promised a unique concept. However, in practice, this concept isn't very unique. Standing in a certain area to manipulate "time" which really just manifests as controlling platforms, doors, etc. doesn't play much differently to if the game had you standing on switches to manipulate the environment instead. The game's style looks cool at a glance, but can easily translate to motion sickness if you look at it for any longer than a minute. The graphics are also so poor that it can be hard to even tell what's happening at a distance. Not to mention, the controls are wonky and the voices are 2010s AI. Furthermore, there was a real missed opportunity to attach an emotional story about accepting death told through discovering memories in the protagonist's brain, but instead this game wouldn't have been a much different experience had it had no story and been completely abstract. The digital equivalent of bargain bin trash I would get an hour of entertainment out of by laughing at with a friend, except this is normally 15 dollars. I at least don't regret the 89 cents …

literally just portal but with time its amazing it does definitely gets really hard on those last 5-10 puzzles still fun

Could barely get myself to play the game through the intro, audio balancing is awful and was unpleasant to control.
