Doing so is pretty easy for the most part, but becomes trickier when you have to avoid things falling on you as a result of your interactions. The puzzle element consists of manoeuvring the light where you want it, through tilting a street lamp, or untangling and pulling around a corded light bulb, and then pulsing your power through it to clear a path. Using your new power you can harness the power of lightbulbs to remove alien debris that blocks your way. There is essentially one direction to proceed in (with very minor areas you can investigate off the main path), and you have to figure out the most stealthy, least complicated, and safest way to traverse the scenery because you, as a species, appear to be being annihilated after all.
The game is pretty straightforward in that as much as you have to keep moving straight, forward. The game reminded me a little of Flashback with its rudimentary moving around in the foreground whilst noticing weird, sometimes terrifying things, in the background. Somerville forces you to investigate, search and figure out the best course of action. Holding R2 reveals that you can interact with technology, lights and power supplies with this new power. You have a weird pulsating pain in the hand you used to interact with the alien pilot. Where are your family, and how much time has elapsed? You see the pilot slumping out of the vehicle, you reach out to them to help, the screen flashes and you pass out. Trees, bridges, cars and buildings are decimated, and you try to get your family into the basement for safety, but something alien crashes through your home and lands in the basement. This then rolls into chaos with an extraterrestrial invasion proceeding to slam projectiles into the ground outside. The camera then swaps to the main character, the father, who has just woken up. He picks up where the infant left off, seeks out the child, and tidies up a bit.

You figure out how to open up and then climb some drawers to get on top of the work surface, but you get stuck, make some noise.

The mischief unveils some supernatural phenomena, and an eerily quiet and dark style of game that puts me in mind of Limbo, just silhouettes vaguely inferred, and dancing around the screen, no HUD, and a simplistic foggy layered art direction with a muted colour palette and relatively basic geometry to traverse.Īs the baby you investigate a series of places around the home, eventually ending up in the kitchen. This opening section acts as a tutorial phase, easing you in, and setting an unnerving tone for the unravelling mystery. You control the tot, looking around, mischievously picking up objects and playfully stacking, opening, or pulling things into use.

The infant awakens to the TV tuning into an emergency broadcast, gets up and wanders about. In the darkness of your home, you are snuggled together, the only light is that of the TV that has been left on flickering in front of you. You begin the game having just arrived at your home, and you, your wife and your child, all wearily collapse on the sofa having made a long journey.
