15 hours of joy and joyness: more Sadness info

Knowing that the game is set in “full” black-and-white a la old school scary movie and will most probably be an “Adults Only” title (so you thought Manhunt 2 was controversial?), Sadness could potentially send you up the walls in a fit of horror to last you a life time. In fact, Nibris even warns those who suffer from heart complications and nervous breakdowns.

But what exactly do we know about the game? The recent issue of “Game Informer” magazine includes a list of details for the game. Some of them are new, some have been previously been reported (which at that time were unconfirmed), and some might be considered as spoilers. Here’s the long and short of it:

• You play the game as Maria, watching over her son Alexander. He’s blinded though, due to a train accident in the past, and you’ve got to protect him. Later, he starts acting… “odd.”
• Alexander’s actions will hint at how to progress in the game.
• Survival horror at its bare essentials, the game will require you to make use of your environment, since Maria isn’t much of a weapon person.
• There’s 10 different endings, 15 hours of gameplay, and it’s now listed as a 2008 title.

Curiouser and curiouser. Although it says that there are 15 hours of gameplay, that doesn’t mean it’ll only last for 15 hours. Remember, there’s that bit about the game having 10 different endings. Now if you’re the type to get the UFO-ending in Silent Hill, then you’d know that “15 hours of gameplay” will be well worth going through the game over and over again.
