BC Writes:
"This trippy point-and-click adventure where you investigate your brother's "paramount experiment that unlocks new horizons of human cognition" has great moments thanks to great sound, but might be overwhelming mentally for some folks (keep that dictionary nearby if you need to look up dolmen). Rewards, like time travel and safecracking, come from close observations, in-depth reading and extensive object examinations. Roll over identification text on each object would be extremely helpful to players. It's frustrating for players trying to find substance and no-nonsense clues instead of plodding through numerous theories and technologies, but great for players interested in those intellectual, educational subjects and historical figures like Pluto, Freud and Jung. A unique game definitely worth a try thanks to great graphics/sound and an affordable price ($19.99 MSRP at most stores)."
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."
