The Vault Dweller
always looking for water.
...or "The Vault Dweller's Freeware Extravaganza" Part [The Power]
If you're reading this as the first installment in my unprecedented new topic posting spree read on. Otherwise skip the next paragraph as it appears in all the new threads and needs to only be read once.
As you may know I disappeared from these forums for quite a long time and given both how often and how long I've been here that is exceptionally rare. In the past I would only do this once or twice and only for a week or two while I would have discovered and played a particularly high-quality game which would forcibly steal my attention. This last absence was different however. I discovered such a higher quantity of high quality games in such a short time that I couldn't tear myself away from playing to go on the internet or at least not enough to contribute even though I would occasionally come to lurk. It is about such games I am making this series of topics. I remind you that all are freeware and hence are open to all of you.
This one in particular is done in the old free-roaming platformer style comparable to Metroid. If you like that sort of game continue reading...otherwise go see some of my other "Extravaganza" threads.
The Power. Quite short, very simple, but so well-made you won't mind at all and wish it had more. It is a bare-essentials adventure game. You have only a few different kinds of equipment to collect and a small world to travel through. The entire game will take maybe three hours at the most.
The entirety of the backstory is that you are an adventurer in the age of space travel and have happened upon a strange world on your final trip home before retiring. Due to the world not being listed on charts in spite of having traveled nearby many times your forced to investigate when a force from the world drags your ship and accumulated goods down to it. You are forced to discover "The Power" to escape...
Although its not memorable or a long game the fun is solid and it's a few free hours of entertainment. I'm sure if you pick it up and play a few minutes you'll be eager to finish it just to see all the goods you get.
Care to look into The Power?
