Ah… October! My favorite month of the year. It isn’t winter yet, but drinks and specialty foods are seasoned with the taste of it. Plus it’s also the time where I focus on the scarier parts of my game library! (more so than usual!) Last night I checked out Golden Light, a first person indie comedy horror game that I recently obtained for free.
One minute you’re on a nice sunny pixelated picnic with your digital girlfriend, and then the next minute…
She’s taken by a giant hand and imprisoned in a meat cocoon… WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. The main theme of the game is that everything is meat. Everything. Every. Fucking. Thing. Even items that look like they’re not made of meat ARE IN FACT MADE OUT OF MEAT.
I accidentally ate an axe I found, which I guess is ok? Some of the cryptic notes I found in the game said weapons don’t work – just run! I only played for a little over an hour last night, and I think that was enough for me… at least for now. I’ll need to put more time into it before I claim final judgement on it. The game also has a multiplayer mode that could prove to be entertaining.
Perhaps I’ll save it for an odd weekend.
