One fundamental issue comes down to presentation. The subtext of how the cover-up of a tragedy irrevocably hexes a town and reveals the backstory to Edward's depressive state is a good foundation for a horror tale. In the most unintentionally backhanded way, I should stress that Remain's script is near-functional on its own. Every spot without a light source reveals silent people with glowing eyes and sharpened knifes waiting to kill you along the way. With the motel empty and his car mysteriously totaled, Edward heads through this sleepy town on a pitch-black night. But the darkness looming over the nearby town of Dormont precedes disturbing events. In a bid to rectify his mistakes, he ventures to the Golden Oak Motel to end a secret affair. Despite containing pockets of worthwhile ideas, few recent horror titles have been as wretched to play. Simple touches like the neon-drenched cover art and Silent Hill-esque aura suggested Those Who Remain had some promise.
Camel 101 is one of those indie developers looking for a solid hit under their belt. Life-or-death decisions, occult manuscripts, bullying, and abusive parental relationships are a few ingredients thrown into this underwhelming horror stew.
