About

Spate is a surreal experience set in a world that seeks to draw the player into its reality. Spate is a dark, brooding, and beautifully crafted emotional journey that is seen through the eyes of a struggling addict. Created by former Disney & Jim Henson artist Eric Provan, this artistic game is a story about one man's struggle and descent into madness. Fueled by absinthe hallucinations and haunting memories, Spate delivers a deliciously eerie adventure as the main character deals with the tragic loss and grim reality of the death of his daughter.

    Spate isn’t a game that is terribly concerned with action-packed or challenging gameplay. It isn’t going to keep you busy for very long either, taking only a couple of hours at most to play through. But the visuals, audio and narrative combine very nicely to create a strong sense of atmosphere and identity – one which is likely to remain with you long after you finish playing.

    Interessante Geheimnisse oder wichtige Entwicklungen gibt es nicht – weder spielerische noch erzählerische. Viel zu früh lässt sich Provan in die Karten blicken. Viel zu kurz ist sein belangloses Jump&Run;. So hoch ich die Bemühungen des Filmkünstlers aufrichtig schätze: Als Spielemacher versagt er leider.

    Giunti a questo punto potrebbe infatti sembrare pretenzioso chiedere a Spate la stessa solidità, tra l'altro unica persino nel mondo delle triple-A, di un The Last of Us, straordinario esempio di equilibrio tra narrazione e gameplay. Nel nostro caso, l'ago della bilancia pende visibilmente, e dichiaratamente, da un lato a scapito dell'altro.
