Ultimately, Strangeland's story will be your story. Unlike many adventure games that offer a linear experience and single-solution puzzles, Strangeland lets you pick your own way, your own approach, and your own meaning-one player might win a carnival game with sharpshooting, another by electrical engineering one player might unravel a strange prophet's wordplay while another gathers visual clues scattered throughout the environment. Navigating this domain of monsters and metaphors will require understanding its denizens and its enigmas. Amidst such madness, death itself has no grip on you, and you will wield that slippery immortality to gain an edge over your foes. Forge a blade from iron stolen from the jaws of a ravenous hound and hone it with wrath and grief charm the eye out of a ten-legged teratoma and ride a giant cicada to the edge of oblivion. Indeed, unraveling the connections between this nightmare and the real world is the game's central mystery, and finding a way out is its central challenge.Īs you explore Strangeland, you will need to gather otherworldly tools and win strange allies to overcome a daunting array of obstacles. Strangeland, of course, is most definitely not the real world. In their funhouse mirrors, their freaks, and their frauds, we see hideous and haunting reflections of ourselves, and we witness the wonder and horror of humanity in just a few frayed tents, peeling circus wagons, dingy booths, and run-down rides. Even in the real world, carnivals occupy a twilight territory between the fantastic and the mundane, the alien and the familiar. For almost a decade, we've been working on a worthy successor to the fan-acclaimed Primordia, and we are proud, at long last, to share our second game. Strangeland is a classic point-and-click adventure that integrates a compelling narrative with engaging puzzles. All the while, a shadow shrieks from atop a towering roller-coaster, and you know that until you destroy this Dark Thing, the woman will keep jumping, falling, and dying, over and over again. You seek clues and help from jeering ravens, an eyeless scribe, a living furnace, a mismade mermaid, and many more who dwell within the park. However, Snyder does pull this thing off, for the most part.You awake in a nightmarish carnival and watch a golden-haired woman hurl herself down a bottomless well for your sake. Overall, a few sinister scenes do drag a bit, and lack some intensity.
STRANGELAND. SERIAL
No doubt Englund is brilliant, and could easily pull off a crime-drama psychotic serial killer as well. Snyder obviously is an Englund fan (like the rest of us :) and deliberately cast him in this film, as honorary appearance.
STRANGELAND. TV
Here we are subject to an opposite, non-sinister role as Jack, much like Englund's nice-guy character Willie, from the classic V - TV series.
STRANGELAND. MOVIE
And featuring Robert Englund a very noted actor, whom of course revolutionized horror movie history with his iconic Freddy Krueger.
Here he almost brilliantly resurrects his Capt. And while I was never a huge fan, nor follower of metal music, I loved Twisted Sister. He wouldn't unrealistically portray a warm, loving father. Especially in a psychotic role which some may accuse of him as being cliché'. Have to hand it to him: he's not a bad actor. (sorry Rob fans) At least Snyder put some substance, plot, and decent action into this. Admittedly this film is far better than the sinister Rob Zombie junk.
