DEAD LETTER DEPT. Now, I normally don't like horror games that mostly take place in a single location doing a single thing. But something in this game just clicked for me and I was hooked for hours before I finally finished it. Good stuff. store.steampowered.com/app/1โ€ฆ

DEAD LETTER DPT. autorstwa 2-osobowego studia @BeliefEngine to jeden z najoryginalniejszych koncepcyjnie i gameplayowo horrorรณw ostatnich lat, mimo ลผe w zaล‚oลผeniu doล›ฤ‡ prosty. To gra, ktรณre polega na przepisywaniu treล›ci dokumentรณw. Monotonia i rutyna prowadzฤ… jednak do zniewolenia i grozy. Przeprowadzamy siฤ™ do nowego miasta, znajdujemy sobie jakฤ…ล› brudnฤ… klitkฤ™, nie mamy na czynsz, lodรณwka stoi pusta. Korzystamy z nieoczywistej oferty pracy โ€“ kaลผe nam siฤ™ przepisywaฤ‡ skany โ€žzaginionych listรณwโ€. Robota jak robota โ€“ chciaล‚oby siฤ™ rzec. Im wiฤ™cej dni jednak w niej spฤ™dzamy, tym mocniej okazuje siฤ™, ลผe jest coล› z niฤ… nie tak, a od wpisywania adresรณw zamieszkania amerykaล„skich odbiorcรณw przechodzimy do dokล‚adnego przepisywania pisemnego obrazu tortur, piekielnych haseล‚ czy traumatycznych doล›wiadczeล„. To gra, ktรณrej gล‚รณwny copywriterski gameplay loop coraz to bardziej ulega dekompozycji i deregulacji, czyniฤ…c z pozornie banalnej czynnoล›ci podsyconฤ… niepokojem i lฤ™kiem drogฤ™ przez mฤ™kฤ™. Mowa o grze, ktรณra z prostego klikania w klawiaturฤ™ potrafi uczyniฤ‡ ล›rodek przekazu i mechanizm wyobcowania/alienacji. Opowiada o tym, jak praca nas okreล›la, jak nas zajmuje, jak dajemy siฤ™ systemowo wykorzystywaฤ‡ i jak bardzo nasze problemy ekonomiczne wpล‚ywajฤ… na naszฤ… psychikฤ™. Co ciekawe, grฤ™ zapisaฤ‡ moลผna tylko raz w trakcie caล‚ego playthrough (okoล‚o 3 godziny) โ€“ najlepiej bowiem przejล›ฤ‡ jฤ… caล‚ฤ… naraz, aby najsilniej wpล‚ynฤ™ล‚a na nas fizycznie i psychiczne (palce bฤ™dฤ… was boleฤ‡, a zmysล‚y oszukiwaฤ‡). Wiฤ™cej zdradzaฤ‡ nie zamierzam. Grฤ™ kupicie na Steamie za 67,99 zล‚.
