Ce court RPG indie propose une expérience d'horreur atmosphérique portée par un récit profondément émouvant. Des puzzles ponctuent de longues cinématiques, faisant avancer l'histoire tandis que les éléments d'horreur instillent une tension croissante via une exploration réfléchie de la maladie mentale et du suicide. Une première partie se boucle en une heure environ sur PC, mais les multiples fins incitent à rejouer pour une immersion totale.
Conçu comme un projet thérapeutique personnel par un jeune développeur, le jeu intègre gore cartoon, jumpscares sporadiques et langage cru dans un format ultra-compact. Les amateurs de RPG indie narratifs, mêlant puzzles et choix ramifiés, y trouveront un titre touchant. Les redémarrages corrigent la plupart des bugs techniques pour des sessions fluides.
Aimi is a short, atmospheric horror game initially created for the IGMC 2018 but which has since been expanded upon and improved. This game is heavily story-driven, with horror taking a backseat to a more in touch and emotional story and with gameplay being made up of puzzles in between longer cutscenes. An initial playthrough of Aimi could be completed in about 1 hour. However, there are multiple different endings that can extend gameplay. Additionally, Aimi was developed as a sort of therapy game by a 16-year-old kid (me!) so do keep that in mind.
While Aimi contains only a few optional jumpscares, there is a lot of cartoon blood and gore and extensive swearing. The game explores themes of mental illness and suicide in a thoughtful manner.
