A new space adventure game called Still There is coming out this year. This game comes out in autumn/ fall this year. It might be a morbid game to some, and to some, it may be exciting. It is about the player getting stranded in space. And how he misses his folks back at earth.
This game challenges you. It makes you confront your grief and isolation. But it also has an adorable AI companion Gorky. It brings into the game a dark sense of humour too.
Still There has old school dials and joysticks as well as panels. It helps you to play around with the game to maintain your base- The Bento Space Lighthouse. You will be charge of your base and run meagre errands.
The task is easy and does not entail much. It is a menial job and you recycle through various mediums and complete all your daily tasks. The simple tasks include tasks like making coffee and going to the loo.
Your other goal is to investigate the shady radio message that you received. In your process of investigating, you forget the past and go into oblivion. This is how you confront your inner struggle.
When you start the game, a message from your loved ones back from earth pops up in your screen. And you are hit with the loss of your family and friends. This is one of the few games that focuses on the mental health of the player.
The emotional quirk the game has, makes it stand apart from others. You can do all the fiddling through the space and the emotional thing comes as a bonus. This is a game that inspires you to deal with your heartbreak, depression and isolation. You can try it out and give it a whirl.
