About Welcome to Emba

Welcome to Emba is an indie game inspired by Frederick Brown's short story Placet Is a Crazy Place.

The action takes place on a tiny planet in endless space. The main character decides to meet his beloved, who was forced to land on the old research base on the eve of the hallucinogenic phase.

It’s a funny, but a little bit strange story that takes literally half an hour: humor, science fiction and distorted reality are waiting for you here!

Welcome to Emba is a narrative-driven platformer combining intense action with puzzles.
  • Enjoy hand-drawn comic art visuals and atmospheric world.
  • Discover beautiful wilderness filled with strange creatures.
  • Watch the transformation of the hero.
  • And the main thing — play absolutely free.

The game felt clunky and occasionally buggy, but it was super cool and weird as hell, so I'll give the flaws a pass. I loved it. I feel like my commentary wouldn't do the game justice, so just play it. It's pretty short, and at the very least, it'll be a neat experience.

Игра "Welcome to Emba" – приятное и расслабляющее времяпрепровождение, особенно если вы любите головоломки и строительство. Механика построения города проста, но увлекательна: выбираешь номер дома, бросаешь кубики и, надеясь на удачу, заполняешь карточку. Каждый бросок и решение имеет значение, ведь от этого зависит ваш конечный результат. Визуальный стиль очень милый и располагающий, а простые правила позволяют быстро разобраться в процессе. Правда, со временем игра может показаться немного однообразной, особенно если вам хочется более глубокой стратегии. Тем не менее, это отличный выбор для того, чтобы скоротать время в одиночку или с компанией друзей. Реиграбельность присутствует за счет случайных результатов бросков и стремления побить свой предыдущий рекорд. Рекомендую для любителей несложных, но затягивающих настольных игр.

"Welcome to Emba" is a very poorly made linear narrative driven 3D "adventure" game where you're basically in a fixed camera tunnel and you move along to expose the (badly written) storyline. Ho hum. The graphics aren't great. That's understandably be turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of shady pricing schemes that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable, or…

The game play was a bit lacking, but overall it was an interesting psychedelic experience

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
