A very dark plot

The game shows us 3 initial scenes, and we will see that our protagonist (Elys) who will wake up in a sort of alternative reality, and that everything is linked to a House. There won't be any staging with dialogues or other things, which will give us a hint of curiosity. Once inside, will we also notice a certain similarity between Elys and Deep Darkness, that is to say the Hall of the villa, that both Elys and Deep Darkness are connected? Or is it a simple Easter & Eggs? We don't know, once you enter the game you won't tell us anything but a few instructions about minigames.

Beware of how games

We're not talking about a game with an elevated Gameplay, the author who loves Silent Hill and various puzzles-games of Konami's house has thought to be inspired by these minigames, and to base his own videogame on them. The minigames are many and all with different characteristics and objectives to complete the game and choose the final, just like the final. Because Elys based on how you play games you'll have a different finale.
Many mini-games may seem simple, but trust that some can be rage quits, and this may well bring frustration, especially to those who have hardly ever played this kind of games. The dolls are a clear example of this.
There are several minigames that after a while get tired, because maybe you don't understand well where to go, what I have to do with these objects, where they have to be put. Elys is a 50 and 50, giving a correct calibration of difficulty.
The world of cards or gambling has been one of my favorites
The important thing is to be careful about how to play games at Elys, otherwise you can enjoy the numerous death scenes where we will see our protagonist die in various ways.

Picturesque mapping

Not being a RTP lover, the author was able to modify them in a very particular way with different Photoshop filters, making the game almost like a dark fresco. The exterior of the house didn't really like it, I didn't like it very much, at the structure level it didn't make me crazy because the shape of the character recalls that of RPG Maker XP, and the shapes of the VX, so some VX trees maybe at the height level may seem at the same level as the character

Pro

Counter
