The new game from Flavourworks, the studio that brought us FMV-style game Erica, arrives today, and it’s called Hush – Crane and is available free from Google Play and the App Store.
Hush – Crane is pretty short, around 20 minutes or so, and is very similar in many ways to Erica – a movie-like game you can touch to interact with, and a game I really liked. Hush – Crane follows a kind of hitman, or gangster – someone working for an underworld organised gang – who ends up tangled in a love affair with someone who’s not all they seem.
What you see is live-action, as if you’re watching a film. But the game constantly wants your tactile involvement, be it using two thumbs to slide straps off of a lady’s shoulders, or a finger to pull back the trigger of a gun. You can flip tables, smash bottles over people’s heads, and very little of it needs any explanation – it just feels intuitive and right. And since it’s a kind of multi-path experience you can play it a few times to see different outcomes from different decisions.
