Encodya game review7/2/2023 ![]() The first issue does a lovely job of setting up the required backstory and putting our players in their spots on the board and giving the reader just enough to work with so that we want more, which is especially useful since there some moments that are just a touch confusing. There's also the undercurrent that something even spookier than simple ghosts might be part of this story. Its truly a labour of love, and I appreciate that - but I do wish the controls were more mobile-friendly to make the game less of a slog to get through. Lucas is initially positioned as a trustworthy spiritual leader, but the issue slowly seems to pull apart that idea to reveal him as perhaps a bit of a fraud in his faith while Harmony, the daughter desperate to get away from the small town and her family, is the one with surprising compassion. ENCODYA is a gorgeous-looking point-and-click adventure with painstaking effort put into every detail of the game. But what is different here is the difference between Lucas and Harmony. The idea of people gaining the ability to see and hear the dead and the implications-both good and bad-about this development have long been the fodder of many supernatural stories. Generally speaking, Ghostlore #1 isn't exactly an original story. It quickly becomes apparent that the dead have something to say. I wish the devs from Chaosmonger Studio could decide whether they’re making a funny and cute game or a dark and depressing one. Unfortunately neither the simple point&click mechanics nor the simple story are above average. Encodya is a sometimes passable, middling take on Cyberpunk, and an average point-and. However, none of those are enough to overcome a heavy-handed narrative and some messy gameplay mechanics. Endearing characters, beautiful art design, solid quality of life features. As they head home from services one Wednesday evening, a combination of a family disagreement and Harmony seeing something unusual leads to a catastrophic accident, which in turn leaves Lucas and Harmony the only survivors and both with the ability to see the dead. You can’t help but love the robot and the orphan. Encodya truly has some neat aspects going for it.
