Inside vs Midnight Caravan
Inside
Inside is 2.5D-like, atmospheric puzzle/platformer where you play as a young boy trapped within a dark project that pushes the human body within the limitations of physics. Being a puzzle game, Inside has some of the most intriguing ones. The goals are often vaguely known rather than being concretely defined by the game, and of course, every aspect of the puzzle is built to push your use and understanding of the game mechanics and your character's (limited) abilities as a boy. Interestingly, there are a lot of water levels for a platformer game, but these levels somehow managed to feel relevant to the overall storyline and spices up the gameplay.Although many have openly criticize the ending of the game, the overall feeling that is evoked by it seems perfect for a game as dark and as unsetlling as this one. If you're ready for a puzzle-platform game that will challenge your brain while at the same time bring out strong emotions, this is the game to play.
Midnight Caravan
Midnight Caravan is a visual novel that features fantastic hand-drawn art (there are some adult imagery - you've been warned!) and an intriguing storyline of seeking revenge against an unknown foe. In this game, you play as the victim of “fake news” in the Georgian era. With your new caravan of outcasts to protect, you’ve decided that enough is enough! You set off on a perilous journey to hunt down the mysterious Cassini, who has completely destroyed your previous life before he destroys this new life you’ve built for yourself as well.As the story progresses, you’ll be given decisions to make. Every choice you make will then change the path of the story, whether it is for better or worse. As with any visual novel or gamebook, there are many paths that will lead to your doom, so tread lightly and above all else, make your story count!
Midnight Caravan is a truly fascinating visual novel with a story that feels as though it came right out of a TV drama directed by Dan Brown. Following every lead and clue you get, you’ll slowly push back the fog shrouding the mysterious, and very malicious, Cassini, and finally, get the vengeance you so desire!
