update details
Whitestone , a captivating and multi-faceted game, takes you on an immersive narrative journey aboard the Sunchaser, a colossal airship on its final voyage to the Arctic. As an eager student of the archeology department, I embarked on a journey full of unexpected twists and turns. The beginning takes place in an atmosphere of excitement, as Jack's career prospects soar. However, the peace is suddenly shattered when his cabin is robbed and his close friend disappears without a trace. This mysterious incident marked the beginning of a tense story full of suspicion and intrigue. The ship soon descends into madness, mirroring the confusion in the minds of the heroes. Paranoia spreads among the crew, and Jack finds himself in the eye of the storm. He battles inner and outer demons and becomes the prime suspect in a sinister case.
This is not just a detective study, but a harmonious combination of different genres. Elements of RPG, horror, action, comedy and romance easily coexist in it. The project is brilliant in that it puts the player in the role of the driver. Choices matter, determining not only the ending, but also the branching storylines, protagonists, and adversaries. Whitestone takes inspiration from acclaimed games such as Corpse Party, Higurashi: When They Cry, Dead Space, Dark Souls and the Persona series to deliver a rich and engaging experience. Whitestone features a 10+ hour scenario spanning 30 in-game days, six different routes with different characters and story focuses, and the ability to play through NewGame+ at an increased difficulty level, all of which make the game surprisingly replayable. Friendship is very important at Whitestone, with 20 team members, each with their own side quests. An arsenal of weapons and elemental abilities add depth to the combat system, spanning eight diverse levels that combine medieval fantasy, science fiction and steampunk.
