Senses High, is this fantastic interactive comic game!
I've been reading and adamantly collecting comics since I was 12 years old I have a garage full of my collection combined with Retro games and consoles...
Comics, Video Games, and Music have been my fortitude that has played major roles in molding me into the person I am today.
So when I manage to come across a Comic Style Video Game.... I have expectations that are beyond even what I could create as a game developer, I almost thought for that reason I shouldn't play this game because I actually wouldn't be able to play it without the preset bias of way too hard too please, pickyness.
Well, by the end of this I just had to share it!
Okay It didn't live up to EVERYTHING That I personally want and have imagined what would ultimately be an interactive comic slash video game.... but Senses High isn't focused on that!
It's focused on how time is perceived in Comics from panel to panel and it's aim is to bring that focus to the players' awareness. By making you become aware of how much time can pass just by changing small things in one panel to the next.
It's this amazing deconstruct and reconstruct that the player learns how Flow actually works in visual story telling.
You play almost as the director in a way that can change time with the click of a mouse in each frame that you choose.
So one way is forward and the opposite is backward, pretty easy huh?
Well not really, the game get's you really focusing on flow and time sequence. The hard part comes from managing that, it can be frustrating and not so obvious at times but when you get the sequence right it always feels like a DOH! moment, which is really cool.
This game really just needs to be played and experienced, anybody out there into games, moviemaking or comics. This baby is for you! It's super fun but also one can learn a lot from this! Check it out for free over HERE!
