AllieMay 3, 2023 - Day 123 - NewPlay Review Total NewPlays: 138Game: HelplessPlatform: Steam Release Date: Mar 11, 2023 Library Date: Mar 27, 2023 Unplayed: 37d (1m6d) Playtime: 32mHelpless is a third-person walking sim/adventure. You play a child in a post-apocalyptic world. While traveling with your ill mother to an unknown destination, your RV breaks down, and it's up to you to find help.Helpless is free on Steam, and according to the Steam page, was built by a team of 22 students as their bachelor's degree team project, so I'm not going to judge it too harshly.Stylistically, I can't really think of anything to compare it to, but it feels very coherent, and well thought out. The sound design is well done (particularly as they don't appear to have had a dedicated sound designer), but the game does feel a little bit linear.The apocalypse in "post-apocalypse" appears to have been environmental collapse; with desert encroaching on what little of civilisation is left; there are no enemies as such, only the sun.As you explore for parts to get back on the road, you find yourself darting from shadow to shadow so as to not overheat and die of exposure. It could have used some tweaks in the UI & gameplay, and it doesn't seem like a long game, but for what it is, and *free*, there's definitely an interesting experience to be had.Helpless is:3: OK<a href="https://aus.social/tags/Helpless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Helpless</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WalkingSimulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WalkingSimulator</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Adventure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Adventure</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MastodonGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MastodonGaming</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gaming</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365ONG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Project365ONG</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Project365" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Project365</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NewPlay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NewPlay</a><a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2290490/Helpless/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://store.steampowered.com/app/2290490/Helpless/</a>
