The music leans more towards the metal genre and is very fitting for the dark tone of the game. The hand-drawn art style feels ripped right out of the pages of a high school outcast’s notebook and I couldn’t see any other style working.
There are a few different mechanics that come into play further into the game including a supernatural guitar (which I learned to play the theme song from Are You Afraid of the Dark? on), but I’ll leave that up for you to discover. You also discover more back story through mini-games played on the Super Gear Boy. You speak to spirits through the use of a modified portable game console (the Super Gear Boy) and try to find clues while also helping them out in any way you can. You control Sally (as well as a few other characters) and interact with objects and characters through context buttons, kind of in the same style of A Night In The Woods (which I also loved). Gameplay-wise, Sally Face is somewhat of a point and click adventure, but not in the traditional sense. It’s honestly very difficult to go into any more than that without giving away a LOT of what makes this game so great the story. After some strange occurrences, Sal and Larry (along with some other newfound friends) begin investigating the apartments and talking to the spirits of people who once lived in the building. He and his father move into the Addison Apartments where he meets a boy named Larry who quickly becomes his best friend. Sal Fisher is a boy with a prosthetic face. This being a very story-driven game, I’m going to avoid spoilers as much as possible, which is going to be a bit of a task, but here goes… Now, I’m not really a big fan of point and click adventures, but when I do find one I like, I REALLY like it. Every once in a while, a game comes along that seems to defy description.
