Une très belle expérience

The Longing est un jeu vidéo initialement sorti sur PC, mais son adaptation sur mobile est, selon moi, excellente.

Le plus impressionnant est que le temps continue de s'écouler même lorsque l'application est fermée. Dans les cavernes, Shade (le protagoniste) poursuit son trajet si on lui a demandé d'aller quelque part, et il peut également continuer à lire un livre pendant votre absence. Cette mécanique est parfaitement adaptée au format mobile et fonctionne remarquablement bien.

Les graphismes sont volontairement très sombres, mais il est facile d'augmenter la luminosité si besoin.

**Attention, spoilers !**

Au-delà de son concept, *The Longing* est un jeu exceptionnel. Au début, le compte à rebours de 400 jours paraît interminable. Pourtant, au fil du temps, en décorant sa petite tanière et en explorant les nombreuses possibilités du jeu, le temps semble passer beaucoup plus vite. Dans ma partie, j'en suis arrivé à un rythme où 1 seconde réelle équivaut à 26 secondes dans le jeu. À ce stade, il ne me faudrait plus qu'une quinzaine de jours réels pour atteindre la fin du compte à rebours.

Cependant, cette échéance n'est qu'une des nombreuses fins possibles. The Longing regorge de secrets et propose plusieurs fins. Personnellement, ce n'est d'ailleurs pas cette fin que je cherche à obtenir, car je la trouve moins intéressante que d'autres.

Schön, aber zu dunkel

Leider sieht man teilweise so gut wie nichts mehr. Auch nicht mit Helligkeit 3 - auf Dauer wirklich sehr anstrengend für die Augen. Das Spiel ist süß gemacht, aber mir vergeht der Spielspaß, wenn ich ständig meine Augen anstrengen muss.

Very fun

Very fun and clever game. It’s tricky, but I like this game. Not a fan of “jump scare” typed games and there is none of that here

Gutes Spiel

Es ist geschafft. Der König muss geweckt werden. Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Danke für das Erlebnis.

Unique and Great

I read the reviews of this and they were really good, so I decided to get it and it lives up to the reviews! You do have to wait for four hundred days, but I think you can wake up the king before then if you want to. I’ve never seen a game like this and it’s so good. I definitely 100% recommend if you like unique and unusual games. Thank you! :D
