This little game is a gem! A real diamond in the rough. Even just for the 'endless' mode alone. The sound design is something to behold. I love a game that is set in that whole 'retro-noire' genre; and enough variety in the gameplay to keep you interested. It actually reminds me a little of Fallout Shelter in some ways; so just imagine that, but with spy-game elements. You get to build the 'rooms' within the safe house that you want, and you could be tasked with doing anything from shift-to-shift such as building a bomb, to accepting (or rejecting) a load of cargo into the loading dock. There is some element of 'story' to it and you can even send operatives (spys and spec-ops soldiers) out into the field to do missions and they may fail/pass depending on their skills and the mission difficulty.
There's something about just turning off the music in this game listening to the ambient environmental effects. Not enough games can get sound design into the ballpark I feel; this game definitely does.
Gets a recommended from me!
P.S. The camera really isn't as bad as others make it out to be. Some the typos on the other hand...😅
So far the only complaint I have is that it is not a very user friendly game.
As someone who doesn't seem to like the same games everyone else loves, I find Safe House refreshingly different. Put as simply as possible, it is really a collection of mini-games of varying simplicity, packaged in a storyline. The story is interesting, and where the mini-games are so simplistic that by themselves they would not really entertain, the format that has one rushing to complete them as quickly and efficiently as possible so as to maximize the number completed each "night" gives them some life. I played the entire game through twice, making different decisions in order to experience different endings; it retained that much replayability, but some design flaws and errors made that the most I could bring myself to play. In case a developer is reading, I will ennumerate some errors and suggestions below.
In all, I found the game worth playing for awhile as someone who wanted a different kind of game than what seems ubiquitously out there, although game errors, interface and coding issues, ultimately made the game only enjoyable for a couple play-throughs before it became too tedious, repetative, and frustrtating to continue.
One of the biggest frustrations is that the Safe House does not fit entirely on the screen, and scrolling the screen around to see the unseen areas is so annoyingly slow and cumbersome that it proves a constant nuisance. The game would immediately be more pleasant if the Safe House were resized just a little bit smaller to fit entirely on the screen at once, and then perhaps zooming to enlarge with greater definition if a room is selected.
Sometimes a double click is needed, and sometimes it is not, in the clunky interface... in the end, one begins automatically double-clicking, and occasionally instantly failing a room because the second click registers as a click on an incorrect response... very annoying.
In some cases, missions for operators and spies are blank.
In some cases, the costs for hiring new spies are cited differently than charged (for example, the fourth spy you hire is priced at 25K, but only actually charges 10K when hired).
There appears to be no coding to prevent the randomly selected names and pictures for spies and Black-Ops characters from repeating - as a result, in one of my play throughs, I had three Black-Ops characters with identical images and names simultaneously. Very confusing.
Even though spy and black-ops characters are sometimes female, the text about their missions and results use only male pronouns... very confusing and a bit off-putting.
There are numerous type-os in the text throughout the entire game.
The task base reward amount REALLY should be varied to reflect the length of time it takes to complete the task (the infirmary and bomb-making tasks are very time consuming, while the receiving and interrogation tasks are very brief... since trying to complete as many as possible in the allotted time is the main game mechanic motivating the mini-games to be worth playing, it is important that you get a much larger proportional reward for completing much more time consuming tasks. Since this is not done, it results in a bit of dread for randomly being assigned the longest mini-games, as it is a sentence to not completing many missions at all that night, but doing as much demanding rapid solving.
When looking at the Shooting Range for the fourth upgrade, I was charged the cost of a third upgrade and then suddenly reduced to an unupgraded status and offered to buy the first upgrade all over again... very annoying.
Yes I have played less than an hour in this game, and yet I feel the need to review.
simply put, its an excellent puzzle game if you are into that sort of thing. It is not and I repeat not an Adventure or a Strategy game.
The principle is very simple. You have a folder against which you check, codewords, parcel codes, correct medications by blood type etc.
There is no possibilty of setting up hot keys. WASD and Esc are it.
The developer is non existent. I have not seen them respond to a single comment in the forums (check it out yourself) and amazingly, I cannot find a website for them either.
Do not buy this game. I never say that, especially for indie game which I love, but you are just wasting it here.
Gets very boring very quick. I thought it would be like Xcom or paper please, however it is not. You get one room at a time, and there is very little consquence to worry about at all. Take your time. Theres no life inside the base at all. It's not like spys come in lie down, and destress. Just a walk in and a walk out. Do not get this game.
Ugly graphics and unintuitive Esc controls.
Pess Esc while ingame to get Menu, can't press Esc again (nothing happens).
Esc to go back? Nope.
Esc to cancel action? Nope.
You have to actually press the X/arrow back/continue, but not Esc.
At one point the game actually froze and i pressed CtrlAltDel like anyone would, it was then i noticed that it was using 100% of my GPU, AMD RX 480 with 8gb memory.
Otherwise it's a micro-management game, set in a spy safe house. Mini puzzles.
I returned the game. Mainly because of the clumsy controls.
I spend very good time with this game. Some bugs, but they don't destroy gameplay. Mentioned in other posts slow screen moving does'nt affect the game, u've time to center the house anyway, before another task. It's simple game, but I can recomend it for few hours of gameplay.
I so wanted this game to be good....
Yet it's essentially unplayable. Even if the interface, (which lags like a turbo engine from the 70's), was fixed, what you're left with is an inane set of pointless and boring mini-games. Scroll, click, then match some letters or decode a message using an alphabet-shift (you need to write down) and you get some money. But why?! Why am I doing this simple and boring task?! You get no information from them, no advancement in the story...just some money to buy another room so you can play a different version of the same mini-game.
I've had head colds that were more fun.
This is supposed to be a strategy spy game...so where is the strategy? When do I get to make decisions, plan an operation, decide if someone is lying to me or not? If the answer is after several hours of 3rd grade letter puzzles, you've failed Intro to Game Design on day one. As a huge le Carre fan, I was looking forward to a cerebral espionage game that wasn't just another shooter in a tuxedo. Instead this game is nether; it's more Sudoko but less sexy and thrilling.
DO NOT BUY, stick to Spy Party.
The game was 100% better looking in the greenlight trailer. It's downright hideous to look at. The original direction had a much more cellshaded, stylized look and now all the character portraits look like they came out of google paint. Despite the game looking quiet ugly, it somehow drops in framerate constantly.
The controls are awkward to handle, you have to double click everything including opions in the options menu. The camera to view your base is also is way to slow, even at max setting. The game also demands that you have pin point accuracy when pressing buttons, and if your not pixel perfect it'll tell ya to f**k off.
Speaking of settings, the game lacks any sort of real opions like lighting effects and doesn't even provide a windowed mode.
The story was really what I was hoping to be it's saving grace, but it immediantly failed to intrest me. It's relying on the typical "Poor, unstable Middle Eastern/African nation being invaded/protected by big daddy USA". Along with terrible character portraits I couldn't stand to look at the game for more than a half hour.
It really is a shame, I had been wait for this game for a year, it promised to be close to Papers Please which is a fantastic game with a sterotypical communist russia setting, but it's dry humor, random events, and the thought of the morality of your actions helps keep it interesting. What Safe House failed to realize was that it wasn't the busy work that kept people intrigued with the game, but everything connected to the busy work. A foundation to build many great elements on, while Safe House only has the foundation.
The safe house is way too slow and boring. During the period where you are earning money you have to repeat the same task time after time which just becomes boring right away.
The infirmary is made way too complicated as one can not see which medecin helps for what, which should have next to the medecin itself and not the secret book, which means one how to use longer time than nessecary on a boring task.
Bug report: The front door code system does not work probably. When one spy got in, I lost money because I used a code word in the right colunm, after the second respond. So I thought the right colunm didn't count towards the spy. But when another spy showed up, I lost money because I did not use a code word from the second colunm.
