Meet Charlotte—a puppet you control. Live through memories of long-lost gods and explore the static. Along your journey, you'll meet a certain observer who will try to intervene in your actions. Keep your puppet, Charlotte, safe at all costs. If you want to, that is.
This game was a breakout surprise for me. Initially, I thought I wouldn't enjoy it, but it blew me away. Well, narratively at least.
The world presented here is nothing short of interesting, as I fell in love with it immediately. So many questions filled my head, immersing me in this world and making me continue. I got sucked way too deep into this.
The characters in Episode 1 are introduced quite nicely. The standout is obviously the titular character, Charlotte. I found her character to be quite endearing from the get-go, yet nothing spectacular—not yet.
The gameplay here was... cool? I don't know, it's hit or miss. I personally enjoyed it, but I understand why one wouldn't. There are a lot of puzzles here and, admittedly, some of them are unfair. It's a lot of trial and error, but that is an appeal on its own.
The visuals were trippy as fuck. I liked that a lot. It fit the world and further emphasized just how messed up everything really is. It did a lot for the atmosphere. So did the soundtrack. An incredibly unique style for a game.
Overall, I don't have much to say. This is just a pretty damn interesting start to an absolutely fantastic series of games. I recommend you check it out. But of course, it only gets better from here on out.
