Small studios can really surprise you when it comes to gameplay quality, mainly because they have the freedom to work as much as they want on the parts that truly matter. Granted, most independent productions have a lot of issues when it comes to bugs and complexity, but they make up for that with great stories, neat art style or a few unique gameplay ideas.
A SECOND BEFORE US is a first-person puzzle game in which you get to explore a high-tech post-apocalyptic world and solve interesting cases along the way. There’s not a lot of human-to-human interaction involved, but the atmosphere is interesting enough to keep you busy. You can tell that the graphic designers have put quite a bit of work into the game world.
The action takes place on Earth, but the planet is not that welcoming in the story at hand. In fact, most of it got destroyed in various cataclysms, but the people have managed to survive in small numbers. They also managed to build a complex called Delta where survivors avoid the nasty conditions outside. However, this shelter has a few weird rules, such as partially erasing the memories of the residents.
Your goal throughout the game is to explore the world and solve simple puzzles by interacting with items and explore the environment in search of answers. Don’t expect a lot of complexity in this regard, but then again this is still a work in progress, so many things are going to be refined and polished along the way. Even so, there are many interesting ideas at work as well, especially in the gameplay department.
It’s also worth mentioning that the graphics are fairly impressive too, especially for an indie production. Every map is unique and very detailed, not to mention the fact that the post-processing effects help a lot with the atmosphere as well. Not much can be said about the sound effects at this point, but they are certainly going to be improved later on.
A SECOND BEFORE US features some very good ideas, especially when it comes to gameplay and graphics. Thus, it should be worth a try by the time the full version comes out, and you can support the developers by voting for the game on Steam Greenlight.
