It’s a brilliant piece of work visually, with striking character work and great detail in all its level design. The developer of Sally Face – Steve Gabry (Portable Moose) – has had this idea brewing since 2007 and the animation has been influenced by ’90s cartoons like Ren and Stimpy. It’s like a mixture of a teen drama series with Hellraiser. All the characters encountered are brilliantly rounded, interesting and a pleasure to spend time with. It plays with the supernatural uniquely and fascinatingly, but it also puts you in surreal environments where you might be examining the art of the devil himself, to becoming a doodle on a piece of paper, walking around and talking to other scribbles. Like a strange nightmare, you question what is reality and what is in Sally Face’s imagination. The story – told over the five episodes – is an intriguing and thrilling one throughout. Sally Face explores the apartments and soon finds himself led into a world of darkness and mystery. This apartment is dealing with the murder of one of its tenants from the get-go and the other rooms scattered around hold some very strange and unusual residents. We then zoom back to the ’90s where Sally Face – now as a young boy – is found with a tragic past and a prosthetic face, moving into some apartments with his father. Sally Face is a boy who we first see as a grown man getting interviewed by a psychiatrist at the start of the game. It’s a narrative adventure game, very much like a point and clicker that puts you in the title shoes of Sally Face. Now though, lucky console owners get to play the whole complete story now, across five episodes. First released in 2016 on PC, Sally Face was dropped in episodic fashion over the coming years.
