Title: DarkWood (£25)
3D arcade adventure game with some impressive camera movements and graphics which
are by turn excellent and terrible.
A big project for a solo programmer, and at times it shows, but this is
still a great game, which really conveys the sense of a "living game world" in a
way very, very few other games can. Despite a surprisingly small game map the
game manages to pack in quite a few puzzles. If you've played many adventure
games before this is unlikely to take more than about eight hours to complete,
however. Sound is quite limited, although there a couple of good ambient(ish) music
tracks. Harddisc recommended.
