Keeper [OT] Keep Calm, It's Double Fine

Done in 4 hours.
Done. Good game. Didn't care for the last few sections. I want whatever Double Fine is smoking though

Damn man, you guys are fast.

And to think I was called as rushing through games for beating Cronos in 12 hours :messenger_grinning_sweat:


Love the burst of watercolor style art.

UE5 again? Come on, you'd think these stylised games would not need any of the advanced features of the engine that kill performance. It certainly doesn't scream: "realistic lighting".
 
Tried it as I still have gamepass. Visually stunning but gameplay lol, this is a walking simulator (and sailing). Not criticizing but not really what I expected after Double Fine's excellent Psychonauts 2. It's super super easy, definitely targeted towards kids/extreme casual gamers.

Also you need insanely high specs to run this, runs quite bad on a RTX 4070 Mobile. I mean I get it, it's not a high end GPU but the min. requirement is a GTX1070, it's way powerful than that. Honestly, thankful for gamepass as I would not have bought this but then again, I did not really enjoy it.

Not a game, should have been a movie or something. Idk. Vanity project, a mash a ideas in UE5.

Edit: (finished it in ~5 hours, final hour is an insane slog)

Check out the first 24 minutes of Keeper captured on PC. From Lee Petty and Double Fine Productions, Keeper is a story told without words, in which a long-forgotten lighthouse is awakened and, joined by a spirited seabird, it embarks upon a heartening tale of unlikely companionship, and an unexpected journey into realms beyond understanding. Available now on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
 
I've finished the game. A gorgeous imaginative beautifull game, excelent art, simple yet entertaining and very quick to finish... Similar sensations to South of Midnight, which I really enjoyed very much also.
The perfect kind of game to complete a diverse catalog and that you'll want to play from time to time.

DF will surely be happy because they were able to launch a project of this type, first, and and general reception received, in second place.
Only special minds at Special Studios could come up with a game where the story is trougth a bird and a lighthouse with legs 😅

Can I get a spoiler marked hint as to the end section?

The lighthouse is reduced down to just the light. It is a wheel basically and you roll around through half open tube things (not sure what to call them). It is a big maze and you have to find your way through it and destroy the same dark material as before. There a few sections like this and they repeat for no apparent reason. Feels like filler to pump another hour or two into the game. So the charm of lighthouse and the sea bird is no longer there. Just this wheel game. Thankfully it doesn't end that way
