Mr. Blake Pierce decided to release alpha version of his project as full game. Suffers from everything - no menus, no optimization, not even ambient music, etc. etc. Just ignore, forget it exists.

Annual is a deliberately straightforward first-person shooter that embraces the uncomplicated action of 1990s FPS games. Developed by Blake Pierce and published by Pierced Games, it puts spectacle and survival ahead of elaborate storytelling or complex progression. The result is a small indie shooter built around a familiar but effective idea: give the player a weapon, surround them with hostile creatures, and see whether constant movement and firepower are enough to keep them alive. The story provides just enough context to support the action. You are the survivor of a space expedition who awakens from stasis to discover that alien threats have turned the situation into a fight for survival. Beginning with only a blaster reinforces the feeling of vulnerability during the opening moments. There is no lengthy introduction filled with characters and exposition. Instead, the game quickly establishes the danger and allows the player to concentrate on escaping the increasingly hostile situation. Combat is where Annual places most of its attention. The game advertises fast and fluid FPS action alongside a very large number of enemies, making its intentions clear from the beginning. Enc…

FPS Arcade-like. Huge giant map with pretty visuals. Shoot all the things by constantly switching between ammo.

Игра 'Annual' - это невероятно странный, но притягательный опыт. Визуальный стиль, словно сошедший со страниц кошмарного сна, в сочетании с угнетающей атмосферой и нарочито неудобным управлением создают неповторимое ощущение дискомфорта и тревоги. Геймплей представляет собой смесь адвенчуры и хоррора, где исследование мрачных локаций, решение головоломок и уклонение от кошмарных существ переплетаются в единое целое. Сюжет, хотя и подан фрагментарно и требует интерпретации, затрагивает темы потери, вины и безумия. Он не пытается угодить игроку, заставляя его самостоятельно искать ответы на возникающие вопросы. Саунд-дизайн играет важнейшую роль в создании атмосферы, наполняя каждый уголок гнетущими звуками и зловещей тишиной. 'Annual' точно не для всех. Её специфический стиль и нелинейное повествование могут оттолкнуть многих игроков. Однако, если вы ищете необычный и запоминающийся опыт, игру, которая останется в вашей памяти надолго после финальных титров, то 'Annual' стоит попробовать. Это игра-атмосфера, игра-переживание, которая требует от игрока погружения и готовности принять её безумный мир.
