About 1,000 Heads Among the Trees

✦ AI summary

Explore a mystical Peruvian desert town at night photographing spirits and sharing your images with locals, whose interpretations of what they see reveal hidden truths about the community and yourself. This atmospheric, photo-based adventure transforms your camera into a tool of perception that reshapes reality while you uncover the occult history and modern tensions of a town founded by witches.

Visit a quiet town in the Peruvian desert at night searching for spirits and taking photos, then sharing these pictures with locals who free-associate based on them. This game is based on time I spent with a brujo in the desert suburb of Cachiche, a town that was founded by witches during the Peruvian Inquisition. Here descendants of witches still live and continue to practice traditional healing and fortune-telling.

FEATURES
  • Explore a 3D world with ambient sounds, voices and textures from the Peruvian desert, a living environment at night.
  • Use your photography as a means of conversing with non-player characters, revealing what they see as well as what they imagine.
  • See yourself as an outsider, lurking in alleys, eavesdropping on conversations, going where you're not supposed to go.
  • Watch the forces of tourism at work and the conflicts rumbling beneath the surface of a small town.
  • Discover that your camera is not just a passive recorder, but that its act of observation can change the environment.
  • Complete progressively more abstract quests and delusional journal entries.
  • Export and share your photos.

It’s weird because there is not a story I mean: you need to explore and make photos and it’s really interesting because every character give you information when u show them the pictures and u update your journal, so I really loved this concept, but it’s weird because the ending is kinda abrupt and unexpected and u create the story with the info gathered. I’ve played worse games than this, concept is really interesting but the sensitivity is horrible and u can’t modify it.

Not a good game.

The concept is intriguing and the graphics don't really bother me. The minimalistic music/sound fx of wind blowing and people chattering adds to the spooky atmosphere. However, the goal of the "game" just doesn't compel me enough to try and finish it. An interesting game to say the least, but not a very enjoyable one.

It's strange. Take pictures and deal with some slightly horror stuff.
