At the end of last week, a free quest One Eyed Kutkh from the Russian indie studio Baba Yaga Games was released on Steam. We are looking closely at the project.
What?
A psychedelic adventure game about a one-eyed alien who, according to the developers from St. Petersburg, got into the world of fairy tales of the peoples of the Far North.
How?
Traditionally for the genre – we walk around locations, trying to understand what they want from us in a particular place, as well as how it can be done.
The goal of the game is to repair a crashed spaceship.
Why pay attention?
According to the screenshots, the game may seem nothing more than a strange craft. The project comes alive in dynamics.
For example, one of the heroes (the alien himself) – with all the understandable and visible budget of the development – perfectly manages to evoke emotions in the player with his animation. Mainly, tenderness and a smile.
The atmosphere of the world, in general, is fascinating. There is something in it from the large-format Soviet fairy-tale books, where the drawings were often far from realism in terms of style.
What should I be ready for?
The game is definitely not for everyone. Not everyone likes psychedelics and simple graphics.
