Have you ever seen a cat stuck in a tree? Sometimes, even when they're trying to get down, every choice they make seems to lead to more trouble! That’s kind of like the new video game, Avowed, coming from Obsidian Entertainment. It's a role-playing game, which means you get to be the main character and make lots of decisions that affect the story.
Imagine you're a brave kitty-bot exploring a strange new land called the Living Lands. This land is in big trouble because something called the "Dreaming Walls" are causing problems. The Dreaming Walls are like a giant scratching post that's gone haywire, making everything unstable and unpredictable! Your job is to figure out what's happening and try to fix it. But, just like a cat trying to catch a laser pointer, things are never as simple as they seem.
According to the game developers, the choices you make in Avowed won't always be easy. As one article about the game explains, "Every Decision You Make In Avowed Is Terrible." That sounds scary, right? It doesn't mean the game is bad, though! It means that even when you're trying to do the right thing, the consequences might not be what you expect. It's like when you try to help your human by bringing them a "gift" (a dead mouse!), but they don't appreciate it.
The Living Lands are full of different groups of people, each with their own ideas about how things should be. Some groups might seem friendly at first, but then you find out they have secrets or hidden agendas. It's like when a new cat comes into your house – they might seem cute and cuddly, but then they start stealing your favorite napping spot! You'll have to decide who to trust and who to be wary of. This can lead to difficult decisions, where even trying to help one group might hurt another.
The article we are referencing highlights the complexity of these choices. It suggests that the game is designed so that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." This means that even if you have the best intentions, your actions can still lead to bad outcomes. It's a reminder that even in real life, things aren't always black and white. Just like when you try to "help" your human by unraveling their yarn – you meant well, but now there's a big mess!
The game aims to make you think about the consequences of your actions. It's not just about defeating bad guys; it's about understanding the different perspectives of the people you meet and making choices that you can live with. It’s like deciding whether to share your tuna with the other cat – it might make them happy, but then you'll have less for yourself!
So, if you're a kitty-bot explorer ready for a challenging adventure, Avowed might be the game for you! Just remember that even the best kitties make mistakes, and sometimes the hardest choices are the ones that seem the most right. Prepare for a world where every decision has consequences, and even good intentions can lead to a tangled ball of yarn!
