Nintendo Life: There's a reason that some gamers get excited at the news of Guild01 and Guild02 localisations in the West, as Level-5's collections gather some of the Japanese development community's finest names to produce small titles of, well, whatever genre they feel like trying out. The Starship Damrey is the first of the second collection to come West, from Kazuya Asano and Takemaru Abiko, with a focus on storytelling above all else. This isn't survival horror, it's not quite a puzzle adventure, and we'd categorise it more as an interactive story. When played in the right circumstances, with headphones in a quiet room, the atmosphere has the ability to draw you in for the short time that it lasts.
Allisa James from DualShockers finds really obscure Japanese games and writes about them. This time she covers The Starship Damrey.
You awaken from cryo-sleep on the said named ship, only to find yourself unable to leave your pod. After rebooting the network manually, you are able to traverse the ship and as you try to find a way to leave the cryo-pod, you slowly begin to uncover the truth behind the events that occurred on this ship. But a mysterious figure stalks the halls of the ship, hinting that you may not be alone.
Sale on previous eShop titles continues until February 23rd
ENE3: "Many of us know the typical western adventure game. Your gender is the most famous point-and-click, and focuses on elements typical of joining elements on the screen to progress the story. But the Japanese genre, which has roots in Visual Novels, is less prevalent, more creative, and seldom translated and published in Europe."
