Plus, the voice acting is an excellent addition to an already impressive script, making this game just as fun to listen to as it is to read. The design is solid, and although the backgrounds occasionally feel cluttered, they do a great job of setting the tone of the game. It's been a long time since I was this invested in a story. The rebellion against the new world order seems just as shady and sinister as the Aristocrats themselves, and it's impossible to know who to trust. The plot has plenty of twists and turns that will keep you second guessing yourself throughout the game. Shardlight takes a post-apocalyptic premise you've seen a million times in countless works of fiction and sucks you into a well-developed world populated with genuine characters. I already mentioned the game was well written, and the text could have merely stayed just text, but the choice to include voice acting - pretty decent voice acting to boot - made the whole game feel that much more alive.
I don't mean that in a negative way, quite the opposite, it was awesome to see the developers put time and effort where they didn't have to. The reason the voice acting is so impressive to me is that it's absolutely unnecessary. Every character, no matter how small, has a voice and a distinct one at that. The sound is what blew me away in Shardlight, and it wasn't the music that caught my attention, but rather the voice acting. "The sound is what blew me away in Shardlight, and it wasn't the music that caught my attention, but rather the voice acting." I was pleasantly surprised that each character looked very different, and little details, such as scars and other facial markings, were included in the artwork. When you have conversations throughout the game, the characters will appear on screen giving you a better look at each person. In fact, I would often find myself talking to every character I would come across just so I could learn some new information about the world, and there is a ton of it! Gameplay
Every person has a unique voice and adds a little to the world that Shardlight builds for you to explore. Shardlight seems to give every character you run into - even the minor ones - thought and care. The best thing about a game having an excellent script is how rich and diverse the characters become. I often found myself saving my game right before important conversations took place so that I could reload the game and choose different dialogue options to see how the characters would react. The way the story unfolds is truly gripping, and even though the dialogue options don't seem to affect the outcome of the game, it does offer the player a little bit of a role-playing element that helps you feel more connected to Amy throughout your adventure.
While the plot may not seem ground-breaking, Shardlight is excellently written. "The best thing about a game having an excellent script is how rich and diverse the characters become."
