"Don't expect Secrets of Rætikon to join Chasing Aurora on the Wii U eShop, as Broken Rules has today revealed they will not be releasing it on the platform after all."
The acclaimed developer of Old Man's Journey reveals how nature and politics fused for its latest game.
"...in a profound message. It tells a story about deforestation..."
43 years ago my 3rd grade teacher said the Amazon would be gone soon. Still waiting.
NerdBite: Old Man's Journey is one of those rare games that will definitely surprise many at every turn. Its a game that speaks volumes where its main focus lies on strong visuals, music, and very little use of dialogue. With colorful environments to get absorbed into and a relaxing soundtrack to listen to all day long on repeat, Old Man's Journey is the perfect laid back game to play this summer.
Megan Hanbey writes: "The only way to avoid participating in the behavior Secrets of Raetikon vilifies is by not playing the game. It feels like the Funny Games of gaming--a piece of media that mocks you for participating, but still hopes to pull you in through sheer charisma."
Am i the only one who doesn't care about indie games?at least the kind like chasing Aurora.Everyone is trying to make the indie scene a huge deal for next gen.
Sorry guys your game just wasn't that good....
Ah yes, chasing aurora. The game I wanted to buy the moment I put bleach in my eyes.
Edit:
gedden7 pretty much says it.
I love indie games and have bought many on the Wii U. Chasing Aurora was not one of them. I played the demo. Its not a very fun or interesting game.
Its sad that when uninteresting/bad games don't sale on Nintendo hardware, Nintendo gets blamed for it. Maybe if they made a game people actually wanted, people would buy it.
Most indie devs have told stories on success on the Wii U so they can't claim that games don't sale on the console.
Honestly, I bought that game and have only played it once. It has a neat concept and good-looking graphics, but it's no fun if you're by yourself.
I wouldn't blame the lack of satisfaction on the Wii U customers... I would blame it on the game itself.
