introduction
Even before the release, I had seen Schim's promotional video, and the cute creatures with big eyes immediately caught my eye, in addition to the cuteness of the main character, jumping repeatedly in the shadows, and the gameplay of collecting items with the healing art style made me look forward to this game from a very early age.
Schim and Hai Lingti
Before I talk about the game, I want to say the name of this game. From the official introduction, we know that schim means "elf-like thing" or "something that flickers in the corner of the field of vision" in Netherlands. And the main content of the game is the story of the bouncing cute SCHiM, a creature that can be noticed as a child, who accidentally separates from its owner one day.
And its Chinese name is translated just right. There is a homonym between the Hailing fetus and the schim itself, and the fetus is very similar to the shape of the schim.
#安利你最近在玩的一款游戏吧! #如此看来, Hai Lingti is not only a word with a great artistic conception in itself, but also returns the content to the main gameplay of the game of light and shadow, which is really a clear stream after many games are translated by AI, but it is a pity that the text content in the game is pitiful, and there is no other place worth thinking about
Probably means
Taoist priest Guo Caizhen said that the shadow of a person can be counted to nine. I often try to count, but I can only count six or seven, and the shadows outside are too discerning due to confusion. Guo Caizhen said that if you gradually increase the firelight, you can distinguish more shadows. He also said that each of the nine shadows has a name, namely: Shadow God, the first is called the Right Emperor, the second is called the Dragon, the third is called the Jieshu, the fourth is called the ruler, the fifth is called Suoguan, the sixth is called the Lunu, and the seventh is called the stove (it is also said to be called Yao). The names of the nine shadows I used to transcribe were on hemp paper, but because the paper was facing down, two words were eaten by fish, so I can't remember. The eighth is called Hai Lingfetus, and the ninth is unrecognizable because the fish have eaten it all.
Simple but not simple
Returning to the game, we will play our own schim to observe our own life, and shuttle through the shadows to redeem our own life. So it's just a jump with clean lines and stop-motion animation? Of course not, just because the simple lines don't mean it's really simple, and the customizable graphics allow you to create a world that matches your heart. In the settings, we can not only adjust the picture, audio, control, but also the color. In the game, the grasp of color is just right.
Blue at night
Green in the morning
If you feel that the lines are too thin, you can make them thicker; The colors don't match your aesthetic, and the palette has everything you need. At the same time, the game also supports camera switching, so you can play from an angle that you feel comfortable with.
Not only that, but the gameplay is not limited to jumping, but also adds a lot of interesting things. The objects and shadows in the game don't just look different, each one can be interacted with.
You can throw the garbage out of the bin one by one, attach it to other things, and sometimes you will run into other schims. The realistic setting is also a major feature of the game, with passers-by, heavy traffic, and flashing street lights, although simple but very realistic.
The game not only has exploration elements but also puzzle solving elements, some mechanisms, and triggerable devices make the game richer and more interesting. If sometimes you don't know where to go, the game will also point you to the goal. The game looks like it's 2D, but it's really 3D, and you'll be stopped by objects while jumping, and some of the perspective will be blocked by objects. Sometimes, if you accidentally jump on the ground, you can struggle a little, jump like a fish again, and maybe you will reach your destination.
Fell into the shadow of the bird
Birth and growth
If you just look at the gameplay, maybe SCHIM is just a hop plus, but the reason why the game is called the ninth art is not only a unique way of interaction, but also a unique form of artistic expression.
Elves represent the optimism and happiness of our childhood, and in the process of growing up, we will encounter all kinds of difficulties and forks in the road, if we accidentally get rid of these, there will be unimaginable consequences. The process of jumping is also a process of growth, Schim briefly tells us about a person's life, and all kinds of things happen as part of life. Walking in it is not only a stop-motion animation, but also a healing of the soul and a reflection on your own life. Perhaps the original intention of this game is that everyone can be helped and healed in times of difficulty.
postscript
Admittedly, the price of the game is not cheap, but the game itself is still a high-quality game with its unique art style and brilliant creativity. If you're looking to relax on an afternoon, turn on the schim and enjoy the sun outside the window and the immersive music of the game, and I'm sure you'll love the game
