As one person put it in the comment section of Youtube:
"The story and design of Martian Gothic is as beautiful as the gameplay is terrible and disgusting."
I agree. Overall, it's a terrible game, but there are a few gems tucked in with all the garbage. For example:
"I'll not survive to hear midnight's chimes. The bad dream has come true."
Keep in mind when the player hears this audio log they're down in the Necropolis, vast and cyclopean, with what sounds like synthesized pipe organ music playing in the background. It's such a great bit of audio design. Also, Martian Gothic: Unification really earns its title when you meet that ghost of a man buried out on the surface and he says:
like sand, like time, back to the beginning
I am the first, reborn of the red soil
Come with us, down into the dust
and rise again, transformed.
Anyway...enjoy a few screenshots from a survival horror game that wasn't very good, but perhaps would be a interesting candidate for being remade.
