The premise is simple enough; explore the island, find items to solve a puzzle or open a door, rinse and repeat. That's it. That's the game and it felt like a huge waste of time.
Don't get me wrong, the horror premise a la Amnesia: The Dark Descent is wonderful. With a great atmosphere, masterful music, and plenty to look at by way of props and objects scattered around the island. It’s a shame that you move about at such a pace that makes a snail seem quick.
Mastertronic and the Humble Weekly Bundle are offering 14 PC games, including many for Mac and Linux, to support the charity organizations, GamesAid and SpecialEffect, and of course, the developers.
Pay whatever you want and decide who your money goes to - the choice is entirely yours!
The Humble Bundle is one of the few industry trends I really love, from these last few years.
This week’s Humble Bundle focuses on the works of Mastertronic. You can pay what you want for Montague’s Mount, Blast End and its source code, May’s Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville, The Shopkeeper, Richard and Alice, Speedball 2 HD, and The Chaos Engine.
Matt of Greenlit Gaming writes: "Montague’s Mount is a strong, smart, and sophisticated game that is based on a true story. You are an injured man who awakens on a beach on a small island in Ireland. You have no memory and no identity, you are just left with the pain of your injuries. You find a walking stick to become mobile and search for clues as to why you are there. There is some hand holding throughout the game but not a lot, the onus is on you to untangle the mystery."
