The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy's Enormous Size Was A Huge Risk - But It Paid Off

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy's Enormous Size Was A Huge Risk - But It Paid Off https://ift.tt/Gnt3iIY 55 hours into The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy , Too Kyo Games' visual novel turn-based strategy game, I encountered a particularly touching scene. Two characters, who a few days earlier learned something particularly shocking--one of several moments in the game that recontextualizes the whole experience--get up early and end up watching the sun rise together. It's a little moment of tranquility, of two people bonding over natural beauty amid a particularly rough string of days, and it landed beautifully. It felt like the game was tapping into something a little deeper, a little more melancholic, than what I'd seen before.

In a new trailer, developer Genvid Entertainment--the studio behind The Walking Dead: Last Mile--paint a suitably bleak picture. Set in several places around the world rather than in the titular Silent HIll, the game sees horrors living in communities and passed on from one generation to the next. Murders in the various communities, as well as "long-suppressed guilt and fears," cause monsters to emerge and terrorize those within. We see several monsters in the trailer, including a Lovecraftian giant and some sort of bat-like monster, with a human figure wielding a scepter in the shadows at the very end.

Silent Hill: Ascension makes use of real-time streaming gameplay to allow the community to decide what happens. Which of the characters live will be entirely determined by players, and there will be "live story moments" later this year, with daily changes based on what the community did so far. These won't just be one-off "what if" stories, either: They will exist alongside the rest of Silent Hill as official canon.
