If you see this in sale and like walking simulators and knowledge that the actaully good ones are quite rare, you should definitely buy! While it is not mindblowing in gameplay the amosphere and especially graphics compensate the issues easily. The story is quite good also keeping its players tangled into the mystery and how stakes get higher personally for protagonist on each step - unfortunately without spoiling too much it flattens in the end and some events do not make so much of sense. Whatsoever - this 2 hour long experience lasted well of its welcome and even left me wanting more for the atmosphere was always there granting beautiful scenes time after another both interior and exterior. Once Alive is truely a keeper among very few other games of the thin genre.2 found this helpful
Not a bad walking simulator. 7.5 /10 More weird or similar games: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45665580-Dark-Surreal-Ps1Grafics-Weird-Deep-Games/1 found this helpful
The game runs smoothly and the graphics and music are genuinely well done. But if you're expecting fast-paced action, this isn't it. It feels more like watching an interactive movie then playing a game, and there's not much to do.
[h1] Once Gone [/h1] Once Alive is very linear walking simulator about a brother trying to find his lost brother, and discover the acclaimed Haustville. I will not spoil anything, but the premise of the story of the village, and the characters' backstories are interesting. The world building caught me by surprise a couple times. The voice acting is a bit all over the place, but I don't blame the director or anything, because for a first video game, it is still very intriguing. Plus, the ending leaves it open for more. I will say this is your typical walking simulator, with little to no puzzles or action. So, don't be disappointed. Also, it is fairly short, and you can beat it within about 1-2 hours, at most. Overall, it isn't the best walking sim I have ever played, but it is far from the worst. This game gives you some interesting pieces, and I can definitely see it being expanded upon, later, or even having a sequel. If you are interested, I can definitely recommend to give it a try.
Take this as a everyone's gone to the rapture dlc
