Ether One from White Paper Games is a fine example of a narrative-driven exploration game. It should be pretty clear to most gamers whether or not this kind of game will hold appeal for them, and for fans of the genre, Ether One won’t disappoint. The game sees the player take the role of a restorer, tasked with entering the consciousness of a patient suffering from dementia and piecing together their memories to uncover the truth. It’s a brave move, centering the story on such a serious and debilitating mental condition which affects the lives of so many people, but thankfully, and to the merit of the developers, it’s treated with respect and appears to be genuinely heartfelt.
Tackle the topic of dementia head-on in an emotional walking simulator/collect-em-up on PS4 and Steam.
Retro Remastered's Laura revisits critically acclaimed Ether One.
This game really annoyed me. I enjoyed the story and some of the puzzles were fun - I even completed it. The graphics were okay and the message made a healthy change.
But I wasn't able to fully complete it, since there was a glitch that meant you couldn't get some projector pieces if you did things in a certain order. It was all over the forums and the developers, White Paper Games, didn't bother to fix it, leaving me pissed to the point I won't buy their future games. /end rant
The game had issues and worst of all game breaking bugs, but I could eventually finish it and the ending was really something else, the build up to the ending and the ending per se left a really big impression on me.
Really enjoyed this game and having got it free via ps+ I was very pleased. A proper game that put the story first.
