Nephise Begins

March 11, 2023 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: game library project

Nephise Begins is a walking simulator, and not a great one. Like all walking simulators, there's not much gameplay here. However, Nephise Begins al doesn't have much of a story to carry it along and that makes it not worth playing.

The entire game can be finished in 20 minutes, 15 if you rush. All you need to do is collect 4 skulls and rotate them in a specific way, and the games over. There's a few voiceover lines that provide next to no context. Being an Unreal Engine game, graphics are nice enough, but seem to tax my PC an inordinate amount for how little is going on here. The music, similarly, is really nice, but I expect it's royalty free or purchased assets. 

Overall this game feels more like a school project than something that should be for sale. It would fit in more as a free project on Itch.io, and in my opinion is not worth paying for. However, the solo developer is only asking for $1, so not a crazy asking price.

Verdict: Finished

Part of the Game Library Project

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
