I’ll keep this brief - Impressions, my next game, is finally available to play! And what is Impressions? Impressions is a sci-fi, short story game where you become a pundit and discuss the latest news – aliens are real and they’re arranging a visit to our planet. What are your thoughts on this? Are you happy? Sad? Something else? Whatever you say will affect public perception of the newly discovered lifeforms. So think carefully about what you broadcast to the world…
Being a short story, I thought it would only make sense to put it out there for free. That’s right! This game is 100% free. There aren’t even any scummy microtransactions and the like (though really, I shouldn’t have to point that out). The game is a short one, averaging about thirty minutes for a single playthrough. All this really means is that there’s no filler! You get a gripping story from beginning to end. And besides that, you could replay it to get the other endings if you so wish. Or you could replay it just because you like it. The choice is yours!
It’s been quite a long time coming, this game. I initially announced it in February of 2019, thinking it would be out that same year. Little did I realize it would take another year to finish this game and let the world enjoy. I hope when you play it that you’ll see the wait was worth it. I put a lot of love into this project and I sincerely hope it shows. For fans of my previous work, I hope this shows that I am capable of putting out fresh, new games for you to enjoy in the future. As for those unfamiliar with my past work, perhaps you may be inclined to see what else I have on offer. And who knows? Maybe you’ll become a fan too.
Regardless, it’s my hope that everyone who plays Impressions enjoys it. It’s certainly different from War Ender. We went from a bombastic, over the top action game to a quieter, more introspective title. To say the tones are different is a bit of an understatement. I can say that Impressions was certainly an interesting game for me to put together. I’ve never done something quite like it…and now that I think about it, I don’t know that there is much out there like it. It’s a very unique game.
That’s all I’ll say for the time being. I’ll be back again next month, on the first of March, with another dev blog. What will I talk about? You’ll have to check back in and find out! In the meantime, you can pass the time by playing Impressions. I wonder what kind of story you’ll create…
Thank you!
