IAMJASON

IAMJASON is point and click game with a sufficiently low resolution build that makes it almost minimalistic. You, Jason, are left in a dystopian world that seems to echo of emptiness and as you explore, you learn about the corruption and your personal loss.

IAMJASON is different in a lot of ways, most of which make it a really good game. As far as ‘presentation’ goes, the game is just wonderful. It manages to emulate the look of retro titles but at the same time it feels and works like a game that’s built today.

Although there’s hardly anything on your screen while playing, for those who love sci-fi and have a mind toward dying worlds, IAMJASON is full of details. It manages to create a slightly unsettling atmosphere that accentuates once some of the narrative kicks in. Jason lost his family to the corruption and now he must fight to destroy it.

There is no clear explanation as to what the corruption actually is and how it came to be. What it does and how you cure your world of it. All of that will be explained at a slow but steady and peaceful pace.

IAMJASON is a fairly tricky game if you haven’t dealt with this genre before. For those who have, it simply translates as a new breath of fresh air. In terms of gameplay, things are simple. You move, interact with objects and receive information about things by clicking.

It’s all very easy but the game is not meant to be a walk in the dystopian park, it does have its challenges. At first, until you familiarize yourself with the world you’re in, things might move kind of slow but as the pace picks up, solving puzzles becomes a bit more intuitive, but not necessarily easier.

On a closing note, IAMJASON is a really good point and click game but it’s kind of hard to put a label on what it means. You’ll just have to play it and see what thoughts it manages to pull from your mind.
