Outcry is weird with a capital "W," as thick with atmosphere as a snowy night in St. Petersburg, deeply pretentious, and mind-bogglingly incomprehensible. Like a piece in one of its own puzzles, you can pick Outcry up, but good luck figuring out what to do with it.
Jason Codd: "Then obviously we've moved into our first console products as well which, I think for an independent publisher to have their first [Xbox] 360 product 14 months after first set-up is pretty efficient. We've got our own IP being developed on [Nintendo] DS and Wii as well at the moment, so we're very very excited about where we're going."
Resolution writes: "Outcry is a gorgeously stylised, hugely atmospheric and occasionally thought-provoking game. But it's too clumsy in its design, so teeth-grindingly, wall-punchingly difficult, to properly recommend. It breaks just about every rule of adventure game design that you can think of. But there's the odd moment where you kind of understand why it's doing so. It thrives through its obscurity. It gains respect for that.
As is the case with many games from weirdest Mother Russia, it's plainly obvious why this found popularity in its homeland. Equally, as is the case with many games from weirdest Mother Russia, it's pretty hard to stomach if you're not."
