XIBDB LORE FINDER UPGRADE

Your ‘upgrades’ and abilities are mystical powers and scraps of lore, and finding these changes the world in meaningful ways: The first upgrade you’re intended to find literally serves that purpose, changing the graphical representation of the house to show that things aren’t always what they seem.

But uncovering the mysteries in Lore Finder is a mechanical thing as well as narrative. You won’t be surprised to hear there’s more going on in this house than just fashionable cultists with knives, and as with any good horror property, the gradual uncovering of the mystery is the point - the name ‘ Lore Finder‘ is aptly chosen. Where Lore Finder differentiates itself it how it cleverly blends theming and mechanics, even from very early on. It’s a familiar formula, time-tested for no other reason than that it keeps working. Find the right path and overcome the right challenges, and you’re rewarded with new tools or abilities that open up the world more. You start with a limited action set (JUMP and SHOOT GUN) in a limited play space populated with a limited set of enemies, and it’s up to you to discover where to go next. Here’s a house, here are some cultists, go mess things up. Gameplay-wise, Lore Finder (initially) presents itself as an exploration-driven metroidvania with very light player guidance. I normally shy away from highlighting Kickstarter projects, but this one has three big pluses: I know about Kitsune Games and like their body of work (I intend to review MidBoss one of these days, one of those ‘better late than never’ things), Lore Finder has a cool elevator pitch and a gripping art style to boot, and most importantly of all, the Lore Finder Kickstarter page has a publicly-available demo, meaning I can actually tell you something about the game as it exists instead of just parroting marketing material.

Listen, don’t overthink things.Ī full review is in the cards for next week, but this week I wanted to use this space to an interesting-looking Kickstarter project: Lore Finder, by Kitsune Games, previously known for MidBoss and Ultra Hat Dimension. This means I’ve exclusively visited the sites of three consecutive first-person Fallout games… if you ignore my trip to upstate New York. Fun bit of trivia: I entered the United States through Boston at the start of this year, and my two most major expeditions took me to Las Vegas and Washington DC. Hey readers! Greeting from scenic Washington DC., home of bad politics and good musea.
