Not the shooty-zombie bits of those games, but the stop-and-think, work-this-connundrum-out parts.ĭespite the solid range of puzzles presented however, there is a lot of searching involved. There are a wide range of puzzles and again, the style of them hark back to games like Myst and even the earlier games of the Resident Evil series. It’s a really meaty experience for anyone wanting their solving itch scratched.
#THE EYES OF ARA WALKTHROUGH WINDOWS#
I had the same desktop background on my Windows 95! A Puzzling Affair! I found myself often not willing to read anything thoroughly that wasn’t pertinent to solving any of the puzzles. There is a narrative which progresses as you pick up books and diaries throughout the game, but its entirely static ie: words on a page which don’t bring anything story-based, convincingly to life. I don’t know if I was all that immersed however. Visually, the games aesthetics are not anything ground-breaking, but everything serves their purpose well be it a secret passage or a mechanism that signifies a puzzle solved. I also found myself being drawn to the SFX – clicking on walls, doors and other materials rewarded you with some satisfying foley. The music places itself more towards the historical thematics of the castle, and from time to time, the score would transcend me back to the 1998 PS1 game Medievil both having similar musical textures and arrangements. The theming of the game is very much on point (sorry, poor pun) and is idiomatic to the times of the mid 1990s right down to the bulky computers and tacky futuristic elements like simple LCD graphics screens. The fact that this entire game was developed by one person absolutely blows my mind. The first thing that needs to be mentioned, is that the developer, 100 Stones Interactive is just one person – an Australian games industry veteran called Ben Droste. Of course, as expected, it is not going to be as simple as shutting off a switch and picking up your paycheck! It involves, you a radio technician assigned to shut down the dominant broadcast coming from the castle you arrive at via boat in the opening of the game. The Eyes of Ara is a point-and-click game that harks back to the mid 1990s, influenced by games such as Myst, Broken Sword and Medievil. Well if so, this point-and-click game might just be for you.
