Confabulation: Homestead

I'm a bit torn to not recommend this, having loved the original Confabulation, but this one simply falls flat as a successor. Although it boasts more puzzles and a bigger map, this follow-up title does little to build upon the previous game and in some areas does worse. Bunch of stuff under this explaining why, but this may have benefited from a bit more time in the development oven. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] There's something about the puzzles in this one that don't work, not in a mechanical sense but an interconnected way? They are a bit more fun than the first game, but they feel too isolated from the rest of the house. The prior game was hiding puzzle pieces all around the map in cabinets, nooks and crannies, under and above things, etc. This one is very on rails besides searching for the fuses and the shovel in hardmode. And that's a shame! You have this whole outside section and all this extra inside space to put things and get the player going all around and it's wasted!

A fantastic follow-up to the first Confabulation! There’s really no overlap in the two stories or settings (Homestead leans toward the extraterrestrial, while the original leans toward the demonic), so feel free to start with this newer and more polished game, but do consider the first one if you want a similar experience with a slightly different vibe or if you want to explore more of the Confabulation universe.

Love the various aspects of the game- feels like a mix of Observation Duty and an escape room. The jump scares are effective since you are focused throughout finding the anomalies as well as solving the puzzles. The noises add the creep factor. Awesome game and fun to play.

very good game i like. whats your wechat? :3
