An Outcry

An Outcry is a very interesting experience, it's an horror story about the need to step up from adversities despite how hard it would be for you to do so in the situation you're currently, and on the consequences of your indolence in the face of obvious dangers.

The relatively short length of each single playthrough also works in the game's advantage, since it's very easy to sit back and say "what if I had done something differently here?" without the need to either savescum or get through many hours of gameplay again to find out.

One of the most positive aspects of this story is the dense, oppressive atmosphere, which is underlined very well by the reduced color palette & the sound design, as well as the electronic or rock music.

The atmosphere for the most part is pretty gloomy but there are sections where the Unnamed feels safer where the colors pop up their brightest setting up the tone perfectly, there are also a lot of Visual novel style CGs and Cutscenes done with a gorgeous animated pixel art that give off some really powerful visuals.
