Facility 47

It’s probably not very pleasant to wake up in an unfamiliar place with no memory of how you got there. On the other hand, it could always be much worse, depending on the place you happen to wake up in. As such, the situation is much more dire if you find yourself in a dark basement, or somewhere extremely remote and far away from civilization.

Facility 47 is an intriguing puzzle game in which you play the role of a man trapped in an underground facility somewhere in the Antarctic. Although you do not have any idea of how you got there, it’s imperative that you find your way out. The game allows you to explore the facility in question and interact with a variety of objects, not to mention all the challenging puzzles that await you.

The story unfolds pretty slowly as well, which means that you’ve got time to understand what’s happening and what the characters go through. You find more and more details about how you got there, as well as more about the people that may be to blame for it all. Naturally, there are no gray situations to worry about, because everything is pretty much black & white, at least plot-wise.

Unlike most casual puzzle games, this one really requires a bit of critical thinking in order to figure out some of the puzzles. Besides the fact that you have to find all sorts of objects to help you along, putting the pieces together is just as difficult, especially since you can go back as much as you want and examine every corner of every room. On the other hand, the solutions always seem to be pretty obvious, which is a good thing.

As for the graphics, the hand-drawn environments are certainly something else, especially since you get to admire them for long periods of time. Each corridor and room is as detailed as possible, and many objects can be moved or shifted around. Naturally, the game is still pretty static most of the time, but that doesn’t mean you cannot immerse yourself in the atmosphere.

In the end, Facility 47 truly impresses when it comes to the puzzles and the way you interact with the game world. The story keeps you guessing until the end, and it’s truly a wild ride, with many exciting events. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
