Game News This video game is a gem and could take its place as Independent Game of the Year!
Simogo, the studio behind Sayonara Wild Hearts, is back with its new title Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. Between puzzles and exploration, this game can make your life miserable!
If you liked Twelve Minutes, you might like Lorelei and The Laser Eyes! Released on May 16, this little puzzle and exploration game looks to be making big waves. As the second title from the Simogo studio, the development teams offer universes that are each more atypical than the last. A brilliant achievement for the studio, whose title has been well received by players and critics.
Welcome to an unknown world
The game manages to capture the player’s attention from the very first moment with a simple letter that the protagonist receives. This so-called letter invites you to join the Last Year Hotel to pursue a specific artistic project. A vague, intriguing and mysterious invitation that lays the foundation for the game. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is particularly good at capturing the player’s attention without understanding what it is about. We don’t know the reasons why our character goes to this hotel, but she is there and therein lies the mystery that surrounds the game.
You will have understood, it is all about exploring and solving puzzles. The game even recommends that you bring a notebook with you, as the intellectual challenges you face are not the easiest. Several tools are mostly math-based and will help you solve the puzzles, but no hints are provided in case you encounter one of them.
Fascinating artistic direction
No more color contrasts and instead room for black and white in “Lorelei and the Laser Eyes”. The studio’s artistic direction fits particularly well in this work, especially as it reinforces the general atmosphere of the Hotel Last Year. The only clues you are entitled to will be integrated into the environments! These aids, contrasting in pink, are very useful and above all present at all times, you will have to redouble your efforts not to miss a single one. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes presents itself as a replay of a huge escape game: the game lets you discover its universe and its secrets.
