Spoiler Alert for FAR: Lone Sails + FAR: Changing Tides

[Content Warnings: submechanophobia, thalassophobia] Side note: Both of the games have a 2.5D perspective, puzzle elements, a great sense of scale, child protagonists, and mechanical imagery. The music, taken from one of Little Nightmares' promotional trailers, seems like a perfect backing for two children who have to find each other. Also, the direction of some footage was rotated to give the general sense that the two were "approaching" each other as they traveled.

Opening Night Live's Best Indie Reveal: Herdling

“From the creators of Far: Changing Tides” reads the pale introduction appearing on-screen like mist. It’s followed up by a nod to the publisher’s ties to Firewatch as a long shadow comes into focus. The stage is set. The mood fixed. What will all this lead to? A cute giant creature! Okomotive is planning to release “a stirring and beautiful journey into the mountains” called Herdling sometime…

FAR: Lone Sails

Once a professor of mine at the university once said that “what distinguishes an exquisite work of fiction from a sub-par one is the believability and the benchmark it sets.”

My impression with FAR Lone Sails has been extremely similar to that, dare I say. What kicks off as a small girl visiting a tomb and getting into a gigantic disproportioned vehicle evolves into one of the finest games I ever had the chance to check out.

FAR: Lone Sails is a side-scrolling story-rich game supported with a superb piano-heavy classical uplifting orchestra soundtrack. Whenever I see or hear of a “side-scrolling” game I get hesitant to give it a go because there is a fine balance for the developers to be aware of. Side-scrolling games can go both ways, my experience so far has proved that I either love or despise them, on the one hand I have Limbo, Inside, Ori (series) and on the other hand I have Somerville and the like. If the game depends upon narration and story-richness and not action and game mechanics, the story HAS TO reach the expectation and captivate the player’s attention. FAR: Lone Sails is so successful in this regard that I am speechless as to how I can describe how fluid and smooth it is.  The game does not include any text-based or voiceover narration whatsoever, yet you feel right at home from the start instantly, I found myself hooked up in this silent story, just sailing (pun intended) with it, pleased to see where it will take me. Let me put it this way, I didn’t ask myself “who is this small girl, whose grave was that? What kind of vehicle is this?” I felt everything was in its proper place and I was thrilled to be a part of this surreal experience.

As the player, you establish an emotional bond with this metallic body over time, you care for it, you take care of it, new parts get installed on it, the tyres get replaced, you repair it, the vehicle becomes your ever-lasting company. One last thing I feel the need to share is the fascinating background scenery throughout the game. The setting evolves and changes as you go, you witness a completely different world than yours, still it achieves to be genuine to the bone. We observe this, almost post-industrialist era where every little building and structure is in shambles, almost whispering us that once upheld glory of it is long gone, time’s changed, we’re changed, the world is in disarray, it is right there, we pass it by, catching clever glimpses and details of it, a billboard in pieces we see which proclaims “We Build Our Future”.

FAR: Changing Tides Review - Riding the Waves of Melancholy

FAR: Changing Tides Review – Riding the Waves of Melancholy

Indie studio Okomotive from Switzerland has previously been noted for only one, but very solid game – Far: Lone Sails. A melancholic three-hour adventure on a bizarre all-terrain vehicle through the remains of an extinct civilization has rallied around itself a friendly backbone of fans of atmospheric indie adventures like Inside and Journey. Far: Changing Tides, as you might guess, is a sequel…
