Still There
How Far is Far Enough?
STILL THERE is a story-driven psychological adventure game about lingering grief, technical puzzles, wacky AIs and dark humour. Evade the past, welcome oblivion, make the perfect Italian coffee.
LEARN THE TRUTH
After receiving an emergency radio transmission, the routines of an isolated space-lighthouse keeper and his AI companion are broken forever. Confront, console and confess through dialogues with rich and compelling characters. A classic, humane, sci-fi mystery.
SOLVE CHALLENGING PUZZLES
You’ll earn a living as Karl Hamba, sole operator of The Bento; monitoring and repairing its core systems alongside Gorky, your on-board artificial intelligence. Study your environment to understand the complex functions of the station, report back to your inept employers and discover your true purpose.
PASS THE TIME
In between your daily tasks you’ll find plenty to occupy yourself with. Challenge Gorky to a game of chess, nurture a pet tuatara and recycle your own urine into another “delicious” meal. The Bento is brimming with detail and interesting ways to interact with everything you see.
Still There Review
Still There is a unique game in that it combines various elements successfully without sacrificing the quality of any single thing. The puzzles are varied, interesting, sometimes infuriating and always satisfying yet the simplification option means that the meaningful narrative isn’t barricaded behind a difficulty wall and players aren’t prevented from experiencing the culmination of the storyline’s various threads and miss the ending. This shows respect for player choice but also places equal importance on both of the main aspects of the game, reiterating that it is a narrative-driven, puzzle game and not just one or the other.
There were some things in the game that were slightly less than ideal. For example, the game is almost entirely controlled with a mouse and interacting with objects involved clicking once and then clicking again to select from between one and three small icons, usually to either view, use or put back the item in question. This felt finicky at times and a combination of left, right and middle mouse button clicks would have felt more organic, but this was a minor bugbear in an otherwise exceptional game.
Overall, Still There is a fantastic example of a variety of individual genres and game types, and most impressively of how they can be so seamlessly combined to create a truly engaging and meaningful experience, one that I would highly recommend.
