Visage gameplay

[King Rofas]

So, I saw a streamer of RaedwulfGamer , and although I like the visuals, not really sure about the game.
You don't have objectives, you just walk around in a creepy house waiting for something to trigger ?
This is the general gameplay, correct ?

Not exactly, you do have objectives, but they're not flat out told to you.
It is a puzzle game, and the puzzle is figuring out what to do without getting killed.
For example, you just picked a picture of a panda? Well now go up to the actual stuffed panda, this will trigger the next event. Usually it's relatively straightfoward, but sometimes it can be confusing (e.g. if you don't turn off the upstairs TV, certain things won't trigger and you can walk around the entire house without progressing).

The difficulty of this will vary greatly from gamer to gamer, but I personally beat the first chapter after 2 hours on my first playthrough. So yea, there is a definite 'goal' to reach, it just can be hard to figure it out and can take a lot of patience.

I strongly recommend the game as long as you're okay with not having your hand held.
(Also the game is early access so they're still working out bugs and finetuning things, and there are 3 more chapters to come in the near future, probably the next 6 months).

Thaks mate !

I understand there's objectives, my question is if they are written somewhere, even in a cryptic way ?
For example, in Bendy and the Ink Machine or in Outlast, they say what we are supose to do, even if not in your face.
But I guess not :)

In a few cases they are, but they are not always written somewhere.

I haven't played Bendy, but Visage is much less straightforward than Outlast.
While Outlast is more 'go to a specific place', Visage is more 'interact with a specific object'.
There are definitely many sections where you need to 'go to a specific place' but people tend to get easily lost in the 'interact with a specific object' sections.

Sometimes the directions are written clearly, like a path made out of lightswitches, but other times the objective relies on your memory or a keen eye, or even, sometimes your curiousity.

Again, I can't recommend this game enough. As someone who is not very good at puzzles, I can say that it's not 'unfairly difficult'. It's simply not a mainstream title that has focus-group-tested the difficulty of every section to make sure that the average player will only take 2 minutes to progress.
