(Sal is also clearly a fan, judging by one of the posters in his bedroom.) That interplay between appearance and reality is a theme throughout, and both the weirdness of the game’s characters and its main environment, the crumbling and haunted Addison Apartments, and its use of dreams and nightmares as plot devices are heavily reminiscent of David Lynch in general and Twin Peaks in particular. Sally Face puts this juxtaposition of good and frightful throughout ghosts appear with gouts of blood and gore despite being largely benevolent presences, and characters like the disfigured lunch lady – and Sal himself – are a constant reminder not to judge by appearances, no matter how initially upsetting. Or is Sal such a good guy after all? The mystery-solving – some of which involves comparatively prosaic murder and some of which involves ghost-hunting and the occult – is set within a larger frame story: Sal recounting his high school years to a prison psychiatrist before his murder trial. Protagonist Sal – the eponymous “Sally Face,” so-called because he wears his hair in pigtails and hides his face behind a prosthetic mask – is an unrelentingly positive and helpful high school kid, despite his off-putting appearance and more than a little family trauma. In Summary, I can say from myself personally that I am still LOOKING forward to the rest of The episodes VERY, and will be eagerly playing them, as the first two Episodes me, through the spooky story, the detailed, self-drawn surroundings and the Interesting World, have voted positively about the Game!Ĭonsequently, I recommend this Game to everyone who is much more likely To want to witness a prescribed story of a fictional Personality, in which the Focus is on interpersonal Relationships, and Philosophical Anthropology.A one-man labor of love from developer Steve Gabry, Sally Face belies its primitive, often disturbing imagery and themes with a ton of heart. Through the detail-loving and self-drawn Drawing, as well as the ingenious Supporting characters, this indie game exudes its own personal Charm, which won't make me forget the Game any time soon! Overall, I'm excited about the Game because it sets just the right Focus of Storytelling for me. The only Criticism I would like to make would be that I very much hope and very much would like the Development Team to continue to work diligently on the remaining Episodes, and please should NOT dismiss this Project!īecause I would very much like to witness the Story of Sally and his Fellow Human Beings go out!īottom Line so far: The 2D psycho horror, Point & click game, called "Sally Face," is a profound Narrative, about a Person'S Character development, portrayed gritty, creepy, atmospheric and thrilling.

The following Course I will try to present the pros, and Cons of the Game, short and crisp as a personal Table. How do you think this Look back at the Past will go. Story Technically, we accompany Sally back to his Past to find out what had happened to him (traumatising) at the time, to him, his Family and his Apartment Block. The Theme of the Game deals with the Past of a teenage Boy wearing a facial Prosthesis. The Whole thing was Developed and published by "Steve Gabry," by the Company "Portable Moose."įrom a long point of view, it is categorized more as an Indie-, 2D Psycho-horror, Point & click, adventure game. The Video Game, which is Titled "Sally Face" or Sally's Face, was released for the PC at the end of 2016. WICHTIGER NOTE: I only judge episodes 1 and 2 published so far in this Review.
