Heartland 1.0

Heartland is a surreal and strange short point and click adventure game telling the story of an aged farmer and his family in some time of national distress.

The game opens with a note explaining your farm will be destroyed in the very near future and what plays out then is your last few moments with your children and family as you prepare the farm for what is about to come.

You can wander around and have some intriguing although never fully explained conversations about what is about to happen and even go and have a few last words at your wife’s grave.

The character models do look very good although the speed that your character walks at can become a little frustrating as he wanders around very slowly, it also would have been nice if faces had been added to the character models because they have a kind of creepy blank face thing going on.

Heartland can be very thought provoking but at times can also leave you frustrated as to why there are no answers given to the many questions that are left open during the game. Perhaps there are deeper layers that you will only see on multiple play throughs but you will need some patience.
