Anabiosis: Dream of reason – review

Today I will tell you about one of the most successful games in the domestic game industry. I would not say that this game is little known, but still there are many people who have not played or did not even hear about it. For such people, I decided to write this review. I’ll start.

The plot of the game takes us straight to the North Pole, in 1968. Dead surface of the icy fields. Protagonist – meteorologist Alexander Nesterov. He receives an urgent telegram from a large land, which indicates that he should immediately leave the endless Arctic on the nuclear icebreaker “North Wind” near which he had to meet him. We get in a dog team and go to the ship. Only ice all around, there is a snow storm, the wind howls … unexpectedly the ice breaks under us and we fall down. Having spent some time in the snow, we are brought to the barking of dogs that are directly torn to wake you up and force you to go on. The hero rises to his feet and climbs up. And the icebreaker, he is already close, there is already a little left to get to him. Only no one meets us near him. Going to the trail of dogs that indicate us a safe road, we finally get to the ship and get inside.

And we find … that the ship is all overlap and there is not a single living soul around. Unless the frozen corpses of the crew of the ship are lying on the floor in some places. And after some time we understand that we are still not the only living who are on the icebreaker. Only it would be better, there was no one there ..

On the ship, we find notes left by the crew members, and in general, to a greater extent we study everything that it has. A lot of attention is paid to the research element. Cold … you need to find the heat source. For example, a bonfire, a boiling kettle, an on the table on the table … Cold, this is our enemy who has not yet managed. He is silently taking our life. And heat restores it. Such an unusual health system in the game.

The game is simply an amazing atmosphere of loneliness … Fear … We are in the kingdom of ice, we can only go out for twenty seconds, otherwise we will immediately freeze. Empty, extinct, covered with ice both outside and from the inside, the ship becomes our refuge. But only exclusively from the cold ..

After some time, Nesterov unexpectedly acquires the ability … to https://redlion-casino.co.uk/ penetrate the consciousness of the corpses he found and re-worry of them certain moments from their last days on the icebreaker … and even try to change their past. And this helps us to find out what happened on this ship and correct the mistakes that were made by those whose corpses we find during the study of the ship. And also, helps us move on the ship further. For example, we found once a guy who is half immersed in frozen water, who filled the lower compartment, where we need to get at the moment ..

In the memory of this sailor, we need to figure out how to help open the hatch of our friend so that all the water flows out of it. If we manage to do this, then returning to the present, we will not see either a corpse or ice next to us and can go further.

Sometimes you have to experience terrible, adrenaline and dramatic moments from the life of the ship. In these memoirs, the plot of the game is slowly told us. And the plot, I will tell you not a deep meaning. He tells us about how one brave person tries to save his team, his ship, but no one believes him in vain. And as a result, everything turns just in a terrible way. Interestingly, as the main plot develops, we at the same time find notes in which we tell a similar children’s fairy tale. The story of one tribe that had to look for a new refuge because of defeat in the war with another tribe. And the tribe was headed by a young guy named Danko. He is trying to help survive his fellow tribesmen, but they gradually lose hope and cease to believe the young man. I read this fairy tale when I was eight years old. Seriously…

Alexander’s task is to try to save the ship’s crew from terrible death with the help of his abilities. And here it is discovered by creatures living in this place. Alexander invaded their world, where where they have already seized power and now interferes with their plans. And they go out to kill this alien, so that he does not break their icy peace.

At first, the scientist has to fight back with almost bare hands, putting only the venture venture in a fist in order to weight a blow. Fights here are very well implemented, they are even fascinating. A little later we will be given an argument for more serious – an ax. It will seem uncomfortable at first, but soon you will understand that this is an excellent remedy to fight off from some mutant.

I want to say about the graphics separately. She is very beautiful here, here the creators worked on glory. Wheted up, realistic water, ice, icicles hanging from above, models of characters … It is amazing, because almost all the time we will spend inside the ship, but the designers managed to make locations extremely diverse. (By the way, the ship in the game is designed according to the drawings of a real icebreaker)

Sometimes, there are times when the player needs to turn on heating in some room. Pressing on the switch, everything around begins to warm up, the icicles begin to melt and fall to the floor, breaking into pieces, frozen ice on the wall warms up and flows to the floor already with water, ice floes on your clothes are dried and disappear. For that, the water on the floor also begins to heat up, steam comes from it and it dries. All this looks amazingly beautiful and you can look at it again and again. Do not get tired. But there is one minus from all this: if you have a weak system, then get ready for the fact that sometimes the game will be at a brutal. Owners of powerful systems, do not rejoice too early. I also do not guarantee you that the game will go perfectly, at maximum settings =)

Closer to the second third of the game, we will find firearms. As in any classic horror, there are very few cartridges here, you have to save. I must say that the shooting component of the game is not very. And closer to the middle, the game generally turns into a classic post-shooter, not without still memorable moments. By the end, the game again becomes the same as it was at the beginning, but it is a pity that the developers failed to make it so completely and completely.

(There was a Flash player, but since 2020, Flash has not been supported by browsers)

Result
“Anabiosis” is a terribly atmospheric horror, with interesting, though not hasty, but deep plot, with excellent graphics, (albeit your car burning) and spoiled by the middle of too frequent firing in the middle. Despite this, after the full passage of the game, I have exceptionally good impressions. For me this game is a masterpiece. Small, but masterpiece.
The game may not be very terrible, but I recommend going through exclusively at night. If you play during the day, then this is no longer. The atmosphere of loneliness will not let you in, you will not understand the drama so well that they will tell you in the game, you will not feel so much that Alexander is experiencing and you will not be so hard, finding heat sources.
