1-2 of 2 Fight zombies in a game set in the real-life Vigamus video games museum, March 19, 2024In Rome there's a video game museum called Vigamus that's been around for a while. This game, which is an illustrated and translated version of the English game I originally played in the 2016 IFComp, is set in that museum and includes photographs of the actual museum.
The gameplay is intentionally simplistic. You start off in a room of the museum where zombies have poured out of an arcade machine. The game offers you items one at a time, each one solving a problem at hand. There is some non-linearity in that you find things before you need them and you have some choices in what order to use them. You use many items from video games, like the hammer from Donkey Kong, to win the day.
I had a little trouble figuring out what to do at times in French, so I had to play the English version to figure out how to get through some parts before coming back to French.
The game has a few small errors here and there (like not capitalizing 'salle' in one of the room names). Some of the parts that felt objectionable in the English version felt a little less so in the French, as the language barrier gave me some distance from the material. There is a lot of silly things here, but it makes sense as a game intended for visitors to Vigamus to play.
Combattre des zombies de manière non conventionnelle, March 19, 2024Zigamus nous propose de combattre une invasion zombie au sein d'un musée dédié au jeu vidéo dans un parser imprégné d'un humour certain.
Certaines actions ne sont pas interprétés comme on s'y attend, comme lorsqu'on veut utiliser un objet précis pour attaquer mais que le jeu ne considère pas l'objet que l'on spécifie comme un objet d'attaque et en utilise un autre.
L’enchaînement des pièce est un peu complexe à appréhender au début mais quelques allers-retour pour récupérer les différents objets finissent par bien aider. Les nombreuses références aux jeux vidéos old school et moderne est un vrai plus.
