The world ends.
The sky is cast a dark red, and the sun turns as black as coal. Where once the streets were walked by people, they are now host to beings of night, unclean creatures that seek the flesh of the living.
The couple discovers their talent to fend off these creatures, and they flee for their lives.
"What's going on? Are there any survivors? How did this happen? Is it just our city, or is it the entire state? The country? The world? What do we eat? Where do we sleep?
...Can we ever be safe again?"
Speak no Evil is a game inspired by Shin Megami Tensei: a group of survivors have to face demonic creatures in a desperate battle that will determine the survival of the human race. The adventure is focused on exploration and battles, where the importance is exploiting the elemental weaknesses of the opponents. The game is pretty challenging, and uses all original assets. Music was also original, composed by Relyt.
Random Fact: even if the game is already challenging, finishing it once unlocks the Hardcore Mode, that makes is even more difficult.
Final Verdict: survival horror made using Rm2k3? Oh yes and this is a hard, unforgiving game, but mercifully there is no way to screw things (except at the very end!) since you can re-play areas and grind until you are ready. There are also many save points so you when you die because you are unprepared, just reload, win and survive... until next combat, probably! It's not a game for everyone, combat is really brutal and unforgiving (the two magi you meet one-shotted my characters before I learned the skill I had to use. Then Alex and Victor one-shotted them in return because they had the right skills to dispose of them!). The enemies are total bastards that can stun or steal energy points, so make no mistake, the game is hardcore even without the unlockable Hardcore Mode.
Unfortunately I found some bugs and errors in some parts, some small, others game breaking (like the blue box on the hotel that always ). Pity, because the base idea, graphics are cool, and the story is captivating. There are even some missions that are about collecting food and eradicating monsters. I liked the story and characters, I appreciated the custom graphics and I find interesting this kind of game even if it may appeal only a selected few. For better or worse this is a game that stands out.
