Resonance – The Verdict

Resonance – The Verdict

Some days I just want to slow down. Since hitting the ripe old age of twenty-eight, I’m finding myself less and less likely to leap into a fast paced first-person shooter after a long day at work. Instead, I find myself looking at games more and more as a method of relaxation and reflection, and that’s when I reach for my ever-growing catalogue of point and click adventures.

XII Games’ Resonance, published by Wadjet Eye Games, is the newest offering to the genre. It follows the intertwining adventures of four different characters, brought together by their connection to the death of an experimental physicist. With a terrifyingly powerful technology on the loose, they find themselves in a desperate race against time to locate the scientist’s missing vault.

With four characters under your control, each offering different abilities and personalities to the equation, things can easily get a little confusing. To combat this, each character is introduced with their own simple scenario; an isolated adventure-game in miniature that allows you to discover them for yourself. By the time you’re juggling all four characters simultaneously you’ll have a good grip on what each of them is capable of, and what kind of person you’re dealing with.

Since a quiet initial announcement back in 2008, XII Games have spent the past four years busily working away on Resonance, a thrilling point and click adventure. As its final release looms ever closer, I’ve been lucky enough to take a sneaky peek at what is to come, and you’re lucky enough to read about it.
