About This Game "I met Anne first, waiting for the bus. I asked her what she was selling and she laughed and said nothing, nothing at all, that what she had to offer was free for anyone who wanted it bad enough. I asked her what had helped her. She just said 'James.'"Sagebrush is a short-form first-person narrative adventure about exploring the compound of an apocalyptic Millenialist cult in remote New Mexico years after they collectively took their lives in a mass suicide event.In Sagebrush, you'll investigate the long-abandoned Black Sage Ranch, the former home of Perfect Heaven, an apocalyptic cult formed in the early 1990s under the guiding hand of the prophet Father James.Inspired by Real-World Apocalyptic CultsBased on extensive research into cult groups both famous and obscure, large and small, Sagebrush avoids simplistic motivations and easy answers.

What did they believe? Why did they join? Were they happy? And why did they choose to end it all?Estimated Playtime: 60-120 minutes 7aa9394dea Title: SagebrushGenre: Adventure, IndieDeveloper:Redact GamesPublisher:Redact GamesRelease Date: 18 Sep, 2018 Sagebrush Download For Pc [Keygen] 412 sagebrush ln waxahachie tx. sagebrush virginia. sagebrush hindi name. sagebrush dry goods pack. sagebrush jewelry. sagebrush coupons. sagebrush albemarle. sagebrush violet. sagebrush wytheville. 2 sagebrush ct streamwood il. sagebrush newport. richard zokol sagebrush. sagebrush 28001. 506 sagebrush lane waxahachie tx. sagebrush board bags. sagebrush kernersville. sagebrush safari. 7980 sagebrush pl. sagebrush tattoo. sagebrush basketball. sagebrush in nevada. 9651 sagebrush ave chatsworth ca. sagebrush 1111 columbus. sagebrush cable engineering manteca. sagebrush on coors. sagebrush cycles. sagebrush rebellion apush. sagebrush 2019. sagebrush church. 4230 sagebrush circle melbourne fl. sagebrush youth soccer. 721 sagebrush trail. sagebrush us state crossword. sagebrush realty. sagebrush painting. sagebrush annealing machine. sagebrush zeb. mac sagebrush llc. sagebrush desert. big sagebrush zones. 3904 sagebrush road benbrook tx. sagebrush yellowstone. sagebrush outfitters. 6235 sagebrush orange tx. sagebrush meaning english. 6 sagebrush drive scarborough me. sagebrush dry pack. sagebrush vole. sagebrush rio rancho. 3400 sagebrush blvd evans co. sagebrush vienna. sagebrush pictures. sagebrush ecosystem. 7375 sagebrush dr parker co. sagebrush park. 1404 sagebrush windsor. 5809 sagebrush trail greensboro nc. sagebrush habitat. sagebrush james curnow. sagebrush ranch. sagebrush montessori. sagebrush growing zone. sagebrush cleaning patches. sagebrush westside. sagebrush locations. sagebrush lake orion I'm not really good with words, but this is a really wonderful game y'all, and everyone should play it. It's completely worth the price of admission, and I sincerely wish this developer the best for this game and any games that follow.. Great game, gripping story.Only con this game has is the size of the map, which in my opinio was way too big.9/10. This is a short but pretty engaging little atmospheric adventure game. No jump scares or anything like that, just a very well crafted sense of dread.Pros:-Simple gameplay that engages well with discovering the story-Graphics work well with the tone of the game-Great atmosphere without resorting to cheap tricks to spook youCons:-Highlighting things to interact with them can be a little finicky-The one area in total darkness is nearly impossible to actually see anything without turning up the brightness. This went beyond "very dark and scary" to "I am legitimately frustrated with the gameplay in this section"-The end drags on a little bit as it makes its pointIf you're a wimp like me and hate jump scare games but want to play something spookier, this is your jam.. An ominous atmosphere drips from every pore of this game, owing to wonderful art direction and sound. The low-fi visuals and minimalistic UI and text descriptions work well to impose a sense of frantic and nerve-wracking isolation on the player, the entire experience feeling like a fever dream. The sparsely used music and means that tracks are extremely impactful when played, and the silent and sparse atmosphere breeds a massive degree of tension in the player. I disagree with those who claim that the story and characters are paint by numbers. The purpose of this game isn't to surprise: the only open question is the identity of the player character (which only becomes truly clear once the player witnesses the tragic end of the cultists). For the most part we are supposed to only soak in the sad inevitability of the cult, and look around at the dessicated husk of a compound left in their wake. The point of the game is to convey mood and atmosphere, not to deliver plot points, and the former it does wonderfully.The game almost perfectly executes everything it sets out to do. However, there is one major setback to the game: the voice acting. The character of Lilian is generally pretty wooden, and it didn't surprise me at the credits that she was voiced by someone related to the game's creator. However, I could tolerate that, if it weren't the case that the cult leader - Father James - had any of the charisma that he is supposed to wield in any of the logs or snippets we hear of him. He is voiced by the game's creator (who steps into a couple other voice roles, with similiarly poor effect), and it just doesn't work. He sounds meek, wooden, and unconvincing. This game is only held back in this regard, and I really hope the creators are able to patch in some new voice acting to replace these lines; it really breaks the atmosphere set up so far and stresses my ability to suspend my disbelief.Conclusion: Near-perfect atmospheric game, both melancholic and surprisingly nerve-wracking at times. However, it's held back by poor voice acting, especially in the VO-heavy final scenes. I would recommend heavily, and hopefully at some point they can patch in some new voice acting.. I'll preface this by saying, this game is short.It only took me about an hour to "get through" this game but I can honestly say I will be thinking about it for hours afterwards. It took me to a similar place most good books and movies take me. An introspection that I can't quite shake while it's driving me to seek out answers.In laymans terms. This game is more of an experience and story than most games. If you want to be drawn in I highly suggest it.. Simple concept, well excecuted. The decent voice acting, sound design and story kept me engaged throughout the 2 hours it took to complete.. I'm really glad I picked this up. The graphics are retro and the voice acting is amateur (no offense to the actors!). But what it lacks in polish it more than makes up for in an enthralling story. I'll be recommending this game to everyone who has an interest in cults.. Sagebrush certainly had potential, however unlike the titles it shadows (Dear Esther, Gone home, etc.) it lacks a compelling or interesting narrative. It is simply a regurgitation of the Jonestown tragedy presented at point blank to the backdrop of god-awful screenplay and abysmal voice acting. The graphics are not the saving grace for sagebrush, as a multitude of titles employee the exact same gimmick (September 1999, First Winter, ext.) and are arguably more profound in their usage.. I very short game (<2 hours), but what it lacks in length it makes up for in story. Comon, you'd pay the price of this game on a cup of coffee you'd only enjoy for 20 minutes!
