About This Game

The Old City: Leviathan is an experiment in first person exploration that focuses entirely on story.

Everything else is secondary. All that exists is you and the world. Set in a decaying city from a civilization long past, The Old City: Leviathan puts the player in the shoes of a sewer dwelling isolationist. You progress through the narrative by simply exploring the world. The story itself is told via the musings of your character and, chiefly, the environment itself. This environment has been designed to be diverse, interesting, and meaningful to the narrative of the game.

The objective is to understand. The story of The Old City: Leviathan is not told in a traditional manner. As you progress through the narrative, you will overhear a conversation between two entities. The first entity is the nameless character you are controlling who communicates through a monologue. The second entity is the depths of the environment, details and all. Your task is to piece together the narrative as if you are jumping into a conversation with no context. The more you explore, the more you will potentially understand.

This experience is not a normal one.

The environment is interesting, but there is essentially no real game here. I'm not against walking simulator style games with story, but the story here is thin and you have to assemble it yourself. I don't know. Perhaps if there was SOME simple activity or goal as you explored it would make the world feel less empty. I can appreciate the artistic value of this world, but I didn't enjoy playing it.

I can't believe I paid money for this. Final Score 2/10 Pretentious writing. Even more pretentious narration. A story that never happens. Locked to moving forward at a slow pace. You have to read really lengthy and badly written "notes" outside of the game experience to even get some understanding of the game's lore. Which isn't good. Imagine a hipster at a poetry slam event that's also high trying to talk about grand ideas. That's what this feels like. Except the hipster doesn't even talk most of the time. And he asks you to read his 50 page diary. Music was ok but overall sound design negligible. holy moly....
