Antarctic Heritage Trust

‎

Antarctic Heritage Trust is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Antarctic Heritage Trust is a software application that provides a VR representation of Sir Edmund Hillary's hut in Antarctica. No game... just look at stuff, but in VR. This has, however, been advertised as a game and published in the "Games" section of Steam. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played".…

Игра 'Antarctic Heritage Trust' - это захватывающее и познавательное приключение! Она позволяет игрокам погрузиться в мир антарктических исследований и реставрации исторических баз. Мне очень понравилась механика головоломок и поиска предметов, которая воссоздает атмосферу работы в суровых условиях Антарктиды. Графика простая, но приятная, а звуковое сопровождение помогает создать нужное настроение. Игра заставляет задуматься о важности сохранения культурного наследия и хрупкости антарктической экосистемы. Она не просто развлекает, но и ненавязчиво обучает, рассказывая об истории исследований и людях, посвятивших себя изучению этого континента. Единственное, что хотелось бы улучшить, - добавить больше информации о конкретных исторических объектах и личностях. В целом, это отличная игра для тех, кто интересуется историей, исследованиями и хочет узнать больше об Антарктиде. Рекомендую!

Index user This is not a game, its is an odd little (and I mean little as in VERY SHORT) documentary. It functions very poorly with modern VR equipment. You can't use the controls to turn, you can only stand in a handful of predetermined spots, and only when the railroad narrative lets you move. Forget freedom to explore anything, or anywhere. Down voted because its ancient, barely functions and has what I consider to be very lazy exploration limitations on an already super tiny map.

[h1]Before I played Antarctic Heritage Trust, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
