Hello! That is Alfonso del Cerro from Pentadimensional Video games.
Immediately I’ll touch upon one of many many experimental options included in our latest recreation Tenebris Pictura. Can a recreation make you flip the controller the wrong way up? Carry on studying to seek out the reply (spoiler: the reply is sure however some gamers will refuse to do it).
In Tenebris Pictura you play the function of Magnus, a mystical investigator with psychic talents (just like the ultra-corporeal journey, i.e., the flexibility to separate physique and soul) who has to discover an island, looking demons and fixing puzzles, underneath a thriller ambiance within the Victorian period. The sport could be very numerous and boasts all kinds of gameplay mechanics. Considered one of them will make you (possibly) flip your controller the wrong way up.
At one stage, a strong transdimensional entity referred to as Thronaton assaults Magnus and the hero asks his 4 horses for assist. The 4 equine buddies may also detach their souls from their our bodies, so the ultra-corporeal battle is served: Magnus and his 4 horses versus Thronaton.
The horses are positioned on display screen from left to proper and also you management them, evading Thronaton’s assaults and placing again. The primary revolutionary function of the battle is that it’s important to management the 4 horses all of sudden, with the 4 elements of the controller: the primary one with the left stick, the second with the d-pad, the third one with the suitable stick and the fourth and last one with the ABXY entrance buttons. This lets you evade (left or proper) and assault (urgent up) with two, three or as much as 4 horses on the similar time. Sure, you learn that proper. The time period “finger gymnastics” acquires a brand new significance while you notice that it’s important to launch your controller and place it on a floor to have the ability to transfer 4 characters concurrently.
Regardless of the obvious issue, each participant understands intuitively what he/she has to do, as a result of the disposition of the horses on display screen is the same as the disposition of the 4 elements of the controller that transfer them… Not less than, till the second confrontation. In that one, horror!, Thronaton turns the display screen the wrong way up and now the 4 horses are reversed with respect to the controller. In the meantime, an on-screen tutorial informs you of the one resolution: turning the controller the wrong way up. Right here is the place most gamers I’ve seen in playtest periods get away laughing and really feel a combination of stress, incredulity and focus as they do what the sport tells them to do. These are probably the most intentionally uncomfortable controls ever made in a console recreation so far as I do know. Different gamers refuse to do it and (with higher issue), they mentally reverse the controls. The sport lets them achieve this, in fact. It has no means of telling them aside.
This minigame is barely a small pattern of the numerous unique mechanics that now we have launched within the island of Tenebris Pictura to be able to discover and revel in them, like leaping into work, surviving the spontaneous teleport of the participant, fixing puzzles through tearing down the partitions of the room, or chasing movable doorways and home windows within the Mansion of Insanity. And relaxation assured, you’ll be able to play most of them whereas grabbing the controller correctly. The sport is out now and you may watch the trailer above.
