Our favourite games! Papers, Please A critics and fan favourite, Papers, Please is set in the dystopian country of Arstotzka, which has recently opened its borders after years of political tension. You play as a newly appointed immigration officer and your task is to review the documents of anyone attempting to enter the country and grant or deny their entrance accordingly. Papers, Please is emotionally draining and presents serious moral dilemmas. As you advance in the game you’ll be torn between dutifully doing your job and accepting bribes that can pay for your family’s bills, all this while trying not to empathise with the applicant’s circumstances. Monument Valley 80 DAYS A text-based adventure based on the famous novel by Jules Verne and set in a steampunk world, 80 Days is what you always dreamed choose-your-ownadventure books would be. You play as Passepartout, Phileas Fogg’s valet and personal assistant in his race around the world. Setting off from London, you are faced with several course of actions to choose from through each stage of the trip. The impeccable writing on the game and the wide range of options available on the routes will keep you coming back to it and completing the game several times through. One of the most aesthetically pleasing games of 2014. Developed by indie studio Ustwo, Monument Valley is a 3D puzzle game with optical illusions reminiscent of Escher’s famous drawings. Simple interaction with the background will unfold impossible stairs, change planes and rearrange corridors allowing Princess Ida to advance to the goal at each stage, while immersing the player in a beautifully soothing world. 32 <strong>HEDY</strong>
Gone Home Gone Home is a story-driven exploration game that takes place completely inside a house. You play as a young woman who returns to her family home after a year abroad to find a seemingly empty house with no one to receive her. Despite the very unsettling feelings that this empty house provokes in the player, there is no action in the whole game. Instead you will find objects and mementos left behind by your family that will allow you to discover the story of this past year in their lives, mainly through your sister’s notes and diary entries. The soundtrack made up by Riot Grrrl tapes that you find around the house is a big plus. Mountain Described as an “ambient procedural game”, Mountain is what one could call a mountain simulator developed by David OReilly, best known as the artist behind the holographic video game that appears in the movie HER. The game starts by generating a floating mountain and offers a somewhat existential gaming experience, in which you interact with nature and objects that eventually make their way into your mountain. Mountain is a relaxing and intriguing game, there are no goals or tasks, simply watch over your mountain and ask yourself why are you feeling melancholic about a bunch of virtual rocks. illustration by chus lopez <strong>HEDY</strong> 33
