And you know what, I didn't hate it □□Ībbie is our annoying protag who goes around exclaiming "WHY MEEE? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?" First she almost gets run over by a car in the blinding snow. I wasn't a fan of "Party Line" or "Final Exam", but I read this one because of the awesomely bonkers cover. I was expecting to hate this one, as the author has struck out with me in the past. Verdict: Annoying heroine who somehow made annoying work for her. I do like a book that can keep me guessing. I half expected there to not be a bad guy at the end, and to find out it was all imagination and coincidence. So much of the book seemed to be Abbie making wild leaps of logic - and having them proved right. But.actually, I do want to call her those things. I don't want to call Ab this paranoid, overreacting, wimpy eejit, because as I said, someone actually WAS after her. Seems to me that a better choice would be a) sleep on the floor in Brett's room with a baseball bat or b) go buy a shotgun. Ergo, they have to sleep in the bathroom. And other rooms without windows (like the basement) aren't safe because the door hinges are on the outside of the door and someone could come in through a window and take the door off its hinges. ![]() Other rooms with windows aren't safe in case whoever it was tries to break in again. Okay, this is a legit thing to be frightened of, but do you know how she deals with that fear? The next night - AFTER her brother Brett has boarded up the window - she insists that she and Brett sleep in the bathroom. ![]() I'm guessing none, unless they keep it to themselves.įourth occurrence: Abbie's window gets broken in while she's asleep. You know how many have shrines to me in their bedroom and stalk me in their spare time? I don't know. You know how many guys have stared at me in class over the years? Too many. It annoys me that she was proved right here, because it seems like such a reach to me. The combination of these two things convinces Abbie that she needs to break into Joey's locker, and when she finds pictures of her in there, she breaks into his house and finds a veritable shrine. Then he rushes to Ab's defence when she and Taylor are arguing at lunch. Abbie has never really noticed this, so I can't imagine he can be staring TOO much, but OK. Third occurrence: Joey from computer class stares at Abbie a lot, according to Ab's BFF Taylor. ![]() Appalling txtspk aside, I don't see anything scary about this note - if I got it I'd assume secret admirer, not threat. Second occurrence: A note in her locker that says "B MOR KRFL U C IM KRAZY 4 U". This could easily have been an accident - it's snowing, and she was dancing in the road, silly girl. It kept me wondering.įirst occurrence: Abbie nearly gets run over by a car. Everything could so easily have all been nothing. I guess maybe that's what I liked about the book. But she certainly has what seem to me to be overly strong reactions to what could have been simple coincidences. As it turns out, someone actually was after her, so perhaps paranoia is the wrong word. Most of this book seems to be about not stalking, but Abbie's paranoia. She's not sure who it is, though - the weird guy from computer class who seems to be obsessed with her? The cute guy she has a crush on? Her best friend? Abbie suspects everyone of being out to get her.ĭoes that make any sense? Meh, probably not. There's no actual stalking going on per se - although someone (or something) breaks her window one night, and someone's leaving her notes that say things like "IM KRAZY 4 U" - but she's definitely feeling stalked. So she's not sure how she's acquired a stalker. Sure, she's a fanatic for health food and paranoid about getting cancer (slightly odd traits in teenage girls!) but aside from that she's pretty normal.

Worldwalker says it expects Wildermyth to be in early access from six months to a full year. ![]() Now anyone who purchases the game can contribute to its development, making new quests and events to be considered for inclusion by the developers. To beef up the selection, developers have opened up their design tools to the community itself. While the characters and the map itself are all randomly generated, the stories are all handcrafted, then laid out one after another like stepping stones by the game engine itself. Every playthrough needs to feel unique, but so does the storyline of each generation of characters within that single playthrough. The challenge for Worldwalker Gamers, the team making Wildermyth, is cramming more potential stories into the game itself. The only way to remove them is by succeeding at quests and spending party experience to cancel them. Enemy buffs, called Calamities, stack up. As the story progresses the larger world becomes a more dangerous place. Instead, I wanted to see how the lives of my little characters played out. But it wasn’t because I wanted to explore more of the game’s turn-based combat - which tends toward short and sweet. It was at the beginning of my third hour of play that I began to feel that tug, the desire for just one more turn. By the end of that hour I had two different parties traveling through the world, each one contributing to the evolution of the game’s narrative, which became more and more complex as the adventures piled up. The main characters each edged closer to retirement, and were joined by their children on the trail of a new set of monsters. The party came together once more, before embarking on an entirely new questline. Then, in my second hour of play, the narrative picked up right where it left off. There’s always at least one or two options to pick from that make sense for that particular character’s journey. At the end of major arcs, individual characters transform by adding on new perks and skills. And all of it was explained by those same clever little comic strips. That first hour concluded with a wonderful little boss fight, before rewarding my characters with “nine years of peace.” During the interlude, the party went their separate ways, learning new skills and even building their own families. By the time that hour was over I had also fought a half-dozen challenging turn-based battles, and embarked on an epic quest to rid the land of a monstrous threat. In the opening hour of my first campaign, two members of my party fell in love, one of them merged with a fire spirit, and another became a half-raven. What’s remarkable about Wildermyth is just how much ground it manages to cover in a short amount of time. That story plays out on screen as a series of comic book-style panels, each frame featuring an accurate image of my character at that point in the story. While more traditional RPG stats like strength and dexterity contribute to the game’s combat, personalities impact the storyline. Each of them have their own unique backstory and their own unique personality, which contributes to their alignment. When you begin a game of Wildermyth, you’re given control of a party with three characters. Character backstories tie into stats, and give the procedurally generated narrative weight and meaning. The writing in Wildermyth is surprisingly good, with flashes of humor throughout. If it all comes together, it could be something very special. It’s all driven by procedural generation, with care taken to tie long-running storylines together into something coherent. The narrative role-playing game blends micro-doses of thrilling turn-based action with lengthy, comic book-style narrative. Wildermyth, currently in Steam Early Access, is searching for this middle road. But what if you could have it both ways? What if a game was seeded with moments of dramatic, turn-based tactical gameplay that demand attention while also delivering the kind of wild narrative swings that come courtesy of a rich, complex world spiraling out of control? Thebes is out there living its best life, and the player is just there to bear witness most of the time. They keep trying to rope players in for another mission, but committing upward of an hour to a tense urban engagement in XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is a far cry from hitting the “end turn” button in Sid Meier’s Civilization 6 to see what those punks in Thebes are up.įor all its intensity, Civilization’s rounds are far more passive than in other strategy games. Turn-based tactical games, on the other hand, are rarely quite as sticky. Fans of the Civilization series rave about its addictive appeal, how it keeps pulling them back for “one more turn” before they call it a night. ![]() |
