Sesari

Hello everyone! The first part of my EGA point-and-click Sesari is now available to play for free! I describe it as a haunted science-fiction game, and I'm planning to release it one death at a time, forever.

Download Sesari part one for free (estimated play time 5 - 10 minutes): AGS Games Database | www.sesarigame.com



Story: Sesari takes place at a gas station in the middle of the desert, where two women suddenly and completely lose their memory. It gets worse (and weirder) from there.

This looks so good! The graphics are just commendable. EGA juice.

EDIT: Okay, I played part 1 and it was very atmospheric and intriguing. I'm looking forward to future episodes.

I finally got around to playing this. I must admit that it didn't quite click with me, even as a long time horror fan.

Graphics are lovely in retro EGA style. The animation is great, and I understand that the author is a comic book artist as well. So no surprise that this part of the deal is the best part.

The sound was going on my nerves right away. But the thing is, I think this is intended. The player character loses her memory and goes on to complain over a severe headache, driving her seemingly insane. So I guess that ugly sound along with the music in the first room is put there to show what she's going through. I just wanted it to stop, so turning off the music was my first thought, then going outside. Just like the character. So it works, but I still didn't like it.  :-[

Outside, the plot quickly leads to a death, like the author said it would (in every episode, the tease is). There's an easy puzzle with heavy hints, so it's not difficult, just uncomfortable, which again, I suppose is intentional. But my problem with this is that both characters have lost their memories, and I don't feel anything for them yet. The death scene is less of a shock because the player knowingly causes it, and there's not enough character development to really feel bad.

She does say that she hopes to meet someone again while examining things inside, so the sudden change feels too abrupt for me.

So, I didn't really like it, even though I recognize the well done parts. On the other hand, perhaps it's wrong of me to judge this as a standalone game. The author clearly plans to release lots of chapters, probably revealing more and more of what's happening. When the context of the rest of the story arrives, this game may be better appreciated as a part of that whole. But on its own, I didn't get enough sense of what was going on. I will play the next part, though.
