Hello! That is Alfonso del Cerro from Pentadimensional Video games.
At the moment I’ll touch upon one of many many experimental options included in our latest recreation Tenebris Pictura. Can a recreation make you flip the controller the wrong way up? Carry on studying to seek out the reply (spoiler: the reply is sure however some gamers will refuse to do it).
In Tenebris Pictura you play the function of Magnus, a mystical investigator with psychic skills (just like the ultra-corporeal journey, i.e., the power to separate physique and soul) who has to discover an island, searching demons and fixing puzzles, below a thriller ambiance within the Victorian period. The sport could be very various and boasts all kinds of gameplay mechanics. One in every of them will make you (possibly) flip your controller the wrong way up.
At one stage, a strong transdimensional entity known as Thronaton assaults Magnus and the hero asks his 4 horses for assist. The 4 equine pals can even detach their souls from their our bodies, so the ultra-corporeal battle is served: Magnus and his 4 horses versus Thronaton.
The horses are positioned on display from left to proper and also you management them, evading Thronaton’s assaults and placing again. The primary revolutionary characteristic of the battle is that you need to management the 4 horses suddenly, with the 4 components of the controller: the primary one with the left stick, the second with the d-pad, the third one with the suitable stick and the fourth and ultimate one with the ABXY entrance buttons. This lets you evade (left or proper) and assault (urgent up) with two, three or as much as 4 horses on the identical time. Sure, you learn that proper. The time period “finger gymnastics” acquires a brand new significance whenever you understand that you need to launch your controller and place it on a floor to have the ability to transfer 4 characters concurrently.
Regardless of the obvious problem, each participant understands intuitively what he/she has to do, as a result of the disposition of the horses on display is the same as the disposition of the 4 components of the controller that transfer them… Not less than, till the second confrontation. In that one, horror!, Thronaton turns the display the wrong way up and now the 4 horses are reversed with respect to the controller. In the meantime, an on-screen tutorial informs you of the one answer: turning the controller the wrong way up. Right here is the place most gamers I’ve seen in playtest classes escape laughing and really feel a combination of stress, incredulity and focus as they do what the sport tells them to do. These are essentially the most intentionally uncomfortable controls ever made in a console recreation so far as I do know. Different gamers refuse to do it and (with higher problem), they mentally reverse the controls. The sport lets them achieve this, in fact. It has no approach of telling them aside.
This minigame is simply a small pattern of the various authentic mechanics that now we have launched within the island of Tenebris Pictura in an effort to discover and luxuriate in them, like leaping into work, surviving the spontaneous teleport of the participant, fixing puzzles through tearing down the partitions of the room, or chasing movable doorways and home windows within the Mansion of Insanity. And relaxation assured, you’ll be able to play most of them whereas grabbing the controller correctly. The sport is out now and you may watch the trailer above.
