Charnel House Trilogy
This game by the makers of Richard and Alice just came out on steam.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/288930/
It’s an updated/extended version of their freeware game sepulchre (which i never played).
I just bought it for 3,68€, and finished the game in 83 minutes.
Don’t be fooled by the term trilogy: it still is a very short game.
I guess the story was original, think David Lynch meets the Last Express.
Voice acting is fine, puzzles are not very challenging, but overall it’s a nice little game.
(decent review by indiegames: http://indiegames.com/2015/04/the_charnel_house_trilogy_revi.html)
They have plenty steam achievements, but most of them are unlocked just while playing the game (so every 5 minutes), it’s a little bit overkill
Max: Right! We’ll travel through this dimensional portal on the top of the bar!
Sam: That’s spilled beer, rockhead.
Max: Oh in that case ...
It’s interesting, I wish the first 2 chapters were bigger but I liked the horror atmosphere. Not sure what happened at the end but seems to be setting up that other game for next year.
I saw that there’s a giveaway for 5 copies of The Charnel House Trilogy.

Every review I read seems to have a problem with lackluster voice acting. But hey, a free game is a free game.
It’s also available on FireFlower Games (DRM-free) - http://fireflowergames.com/shop/the-charnel-house-trilogy/
Story rich DRM-free games for Windows, Mac and linux for direct download - https://fireflowergames.com/. Half the profit goes to projects that benefit the environment and game related projects.

Except Jim Sterling. He should switch careers.
All in all, nice little package which left me wanting for some proper closure.
I mean, the protagonist of Inhale/Exhale stories gains significant exposure during two new episodes, but none of them can stand on their own, like Sepulchre did. I know there’ll be a sequel and everything, but still, I was dissapointed.
Recently played: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons 5/5, Bioshock 2 4/5, Tomb Raider (2013) 3/5 Looking forward to: Gibbous, Saint Kotar

I thought he was a bit distracting, kept thinking he sounded exactly like Jim Sterling in his videos and it didn’t help. Didn’t think the rest of the voice acting was that bad.
I don’t watch his stuff often so I didn’t mind/draw parallel too much. There was certain creepiness in his voice… I mean, he sounded normal most of the time, but there was something off in his voice and that’s why I think he portrayed his character perfectly.
