In contrast, Terminal reality seems to have invested less time in creating the denizens of the forest that appear on the path (each determined to kill you each time you enter their territory). The human characters are equally detailed, with extra attention paid to facial expressions. The town itself has an authentic 1940’s feel, from the gas pumps outside the general store to the jukebox in the local diner. Color (or lack thereof), lighting, and shadowing are effectively combined to render a realistic 3D game environment that reeks of menace. Terminal Reality has used an enhanced version of their Nocturne game engine to create a stark atmosphere that reflects the dark game themes. Although you carry a map and compass, they are not always effective and you are likely to end up as lost as a blind mouse in a maze with no cheese. Pack your hiking boots, because you are going to do a lot of repetitive trekking through the woods via a twisting set of paths made even more confusing by changing camera angles. You explore the town of Burkittsville and travel to locations in the Black Hills Forest. Although the movie is not a prerequisite for the game, if you have seen it you might recognize some clever tie-ins. Starting with what was only hinted at during the film, Blair Witch 1 fills in the local history to create a complex tale of the supernatural. In a departure from Nocturne, Doc is on her own for this case and The Stranger makes only a few appearances. Playing from a third-person perspective, you control the character of Doc, a resourceful scientist who dabbles in paranormal thingamajigs. But despite what you might expect, Blair Witch the game doesn’t follow the characters from the movie, but instead from another game altogether – Nocturne.Įllspeth “Doc” Holiday and The Stranger return to investigate the circumstances surrounding Parr’s crime. Most recently, a local hermit named Rustin Parr has killed and mutilated 7 children in an act of violence that he attributes to the Blair Witch. The game takes place in Burkittsville—a small town with a long history of unexplained events and mysterious tragedies. Rustin Parr is the first in a trilogy of games based on the The Blair Witch Project mythology.
