![]() There is a narrative which progresses as you pick up books and diaries throughout the game, but its entirely static ie: words on a page which don’t bring anything story-based, convincingly to life. I don’t know if I was all that immersed however. Visually, the games aesthetics are not anything ground-breaking, but everything serves their purpose well be it a secret passage or a mechanism that signifies a puzzle solved. I also found myself being drawn to the SFX – clicking on walls, doors and other materials rewarded you with some satisfying foley. The music places itself more towards the historical thematics of the castle, and from time to time, the score would transcend me back to the 1998 PS1 game Medievil both having similar musical textures and arrangements. The theming of the game is very much on point (sorry, poor pun) and is idiomatic to the times of the mid 1990s right down to the bulky computers and tacky futuristic elements like simple LCD graphics screens. ![]() The fact that this entire game was developed by one person absolutely blows my mind. The first thing that needs to be mentioned, is that the developer, 100 Stones Interactive is just one person – an Australian games industry veteran called Ben Droste. Of course, as expected, it is not going to be as simple as shutting off a switch and picking up your paycheck! It involves, you a radio technician assigned to shut down the dominant broadcast coming from the castle you arrive at via boat in the opening of the game.

I am enjoying the game immensely and would like to continue.The Eyes of Ara Review | The Eyes of Ara invites you to escape to another place. As per the game's requirements, I am unable to continue any further in the game till they are acquired and registered in my achievements for this game. each and every room for a variety of achievement items to collect and they are no longer "active" so they cannot be zoomed in to collect said item. ![]() I suspect this has happened in other areas, as I have triple checked all locations. Yet my game registers that only 1 of 2 items have been picked up when I have collected both items but did not receive the necessary achievement. My central object has been picked up and is no longer there. My screen does not look like this image for 2 of 2. My item in question has been picked up and is no longer there. My screen does look like this image for 1 of 2. The item in question is still there in the screenshot. My screen does not look like this image for 1 of 2. How is it possible to unlock achievements that I'm sure I've gotten but have not been registered in my game?įor instance, 2 items need for one certain achievement: (Caution: Image Links are Spoilers) I still need 1 figurine, 2 photos, a dozen coins (even thought sections 1, 2 and 3 add up to 9 coins) and a blue orb from section 1 (and I thought I had both orbs). I even used my own magnifying glass on my computer screen (old eyes) to try to see better areas in the back of a room. I now have 22 hours - over 16 hours game play and nearly 6 hours (!) searching for these tiny items so I can continue to the last section. The you tube videos skipped a lot of them and none continue (so far) into the last section. ![]() I wrote out all the locations from the "Guide" posted in the Community Hub on paper and walked every single room in each section looking at every location, clicking even if the mouse pointer did not change to a magnifying glass. Upon entering Area 4, I can see from the items on the tables that I *must* go back and find them all before progressing with the last section. Is there any possibility of including screenshots of coin, photo and figurine locations in the future? ![]()
