About Homeland: Lay to Rest
Homeland: Lay to Rest is a short third person action-adventure game about a monk disciple who fights corrupted guardians with a chakram--a thrown, homing, circular blade--to redeem their overrun childhood home. Journey through the remains of The Disciple's lost underground home and relive painful and joyful memories alike as you fight to purge the source of the corruption.
- Thrilling Combat: Fight through hordes of corrupted golems with your fists and trusty chakram. Jump into slow motion, lock on to enemies, and release your chakram to break them down. Dodge away from their fierce attacks as you perfect your combat flow.
- Dynamic Traversal: Using the chakram as a mythic grappling hook, pull yourself over endless chasms, through vast and crumbling city remains, and into the heart of the corruption. Fling yourself to vantage points that unveil hidden areas and paths.
- Environmental Storytelling: Uncover the secrets of the monk's homeland, and find out exactly what happened to corrupt the caves through the ghosts that linger in the darkness. Check out every nook and cranny of the large frozen caves, and learn about this lost--but not forgotten--culture.
- Beautiful Visuals and Soundtrack: With a distinct artistic style, take in the majesty of the homeland's caves and abandoned buildings while listening to atmospheric, dynamic, and immersive music.

good game everything worked just fine thanks for sharing1 found this helpful
Игра "Homeland: Lay to Rest" цепляет мрачной атмосферой и глубоким, психологически напряженным сюжетом. Расследование убийства, совершенного в глухой местности, затягивает своей непредсказуемостью и обилием темных секретов, которые постепенно вылезают наружу. Геймплей, хоть и не предлагает новаторских механик, отлично служит повествованию. Поиск улик, допросы подозреваемых, и сбор информации постепенно складываются в общую картину, позволяя ощутить себя настоящим детективом. Отдельно стоит отметить проработанных персонажей, каждый из которых имеет свой мотив и скелеты в шкафу. Их взаимодействие, диалоги и принятые решения влияют на развитие сюжета и возможные концовки. Визуальное оформление, несмотря на некоторую стилизацию, создает нужное ощущение безысходности и отрешенности. Музыкальное сопровождение усиливает атмосферу напряжения и добавляет эмоциональную глубину происходящему. В целом, "Homeland: Lay to Rest" - это захватывающий детектив с элементами психологического триллера, который оставляет после себя долгие размышления и заставляет задуматься о человеческой природе. Рекомендуется всем любителям мрачных историй и сложных моральных выборов.
I lay myself from my own task of reviewing for about a month, and as such I attempted to second screen the first playthrough; no good. No more Mr. Keyboard Loudspeaker; grab the X-Bone and put some headphones on because this mix? This mix is so, so medium. If you know anything about salsa as you do music, mediums are a delicious but undervalued class of flavor. As for this, I'm especially partial to the pause menu's nostalgic ambient industrial current. Overall, it lends a unique neutrality and flow to what would otherwise be a straightforward boomerang simulation course. The game is fledged and flying, fully satisfying with a controller for Nerve beater boomerang bouncing gameplay, but the Land is a cave. The earliest sections perhaps feel a bit distinct, but as a whole it's very difficult to tell a lot of areas apart from each other, much less construct an environmental narrative around them, and the ghost narrative/hint system doesn't feel taken nearly as far as it could have been, though I suppose the beauty of a Land game is that I just may not have been looking hard enough for something worth looking. Putting aside the duodevintrilogy with the pointy green hat which was rep…
Interesting, even if unfortunately the melee range is basically zero
Homeland: Lay to Rest Positives: + Good idea + Beautiful colouring (blue/pink/purple) + Good graphics + Nice sound and music + Fun to play + Simple and engaging combat + A boss fight that dosent last forever + The chakram weapon + Checkpoint system + Its free Negatives: - Bugs (stuck here and there/game stops you from continuing, bugs in boss fight etc) - Might be too easy for some (maybe make different difficulty levels?) - More advanced use of the chakram in both combat, movement and the environment would be preferable - Very short length (over in under half an hour) A really positive surprise this game. I absolutely love the colouring and the chakram is great. I enjoyed myself a lot, it was so much fun. Too bad its so short. Lets hope for a sequel someday! Highly reccommended! Total Score: 8/10
