About Lumber Island - That Special Place
"Lumber Island - That Special Place" is a psychedelic first-person horror adventure.
"Back in 1970s, this island was known as the "Lumber Island". It abounded in rare wood species of the highest quality, which were sought for by the craftsmen from all over the world — many of them took trips to the island in person, to pick the best material. The island thrived on private manufactures and tourism... until deposits of oil were found under it. This finding doomed the island: its inhabitants were made to leave their home land, the wood was chopped down to the ground. And after the oil had been pumped out to the last drop, the island was left abandoned and totally exhausted."
You awake to find yourself in a life-boat ashore an island, and the last thing you can recollect is having fun at a great yacht party.
- The plot doesn't lead you by the hand, only self-contained exploration reveals obscure history of this place and its secrets.
- Atmosphere is the most important aspect - you'll see no buttons on your screen; there is no inventory in the game, which provides maximum immersion aided by music, sounds and Oculus Rift in future.

The puzzles are pretty simple, but the music is good and the atmosphere it builds is enough to be enjoyable. I really like when the bear jumps into the water... ehehhehe.1 found this helpful

Lumber Island - That Special Place is a strange, but kind of interesting horror adventure game, now then the story. A young man wakes up on an abandoned lumber island, he has no idea how he got there, but he knows he must escape. But this island may not be as abandoned as he thinks as he will soon meet the monsters that roam this horrid place. Alrighty then the likes, the story is interesting and confusing, I think I get it, but I could be wrong, so smarter people may have to try to dissect this game and you may have to play it a few more times to get the story. The gameplay is okay rather simple, pick up items to solve light puzzles as you avoid the stalker of the game, nothing really too complicated, but there is a problem with it but that's for the dislikes. The graphics are pretty good from what I can see it has a nice use of colors and designs that make this island feel real in some ways. The levels were okay; a little diverse we get to explore a little abandoned Village, a creepy mansion and a mine, you know classic staples of any horror game. The stalker of the game is okay has a nice Lumberjack/executioner look to him. The music was fine nothing really to write home abo…
