Greyhill Incident | Full Game Walkthrough | No Commentary

The movie Signs is a very underrated movie and one that is an awesome take on the Alien Invasion setting. It's therefore surprising that we don't see games pay homage to this movie, but today we finally have Grehill Incident. We play as Ryan and find ourselves in our humble home at night when aliens start to invade our farmer's town. It won't take long before we need to sneak our way through the dark streets and solve various puzzles to outsmart the invader. We will meet a cast of whacky and colorful characters along the way and also get the chance to fight off against some alien scum.
The game is littered with references and homages to Signs and I love the atmosphere and vibe of the game. There is great buildup in the beginning and I love that you get to interact with the villagers as well.
It does feel a bit rough around the edges though, as objectives can sometimes be unclear, hitboxes for using the bat are wonky and the checkpoint system can sometimes set you back a long way. It encourages you to explore the town, but with its thick fog its not that interesting to actually explore. With no objective marker it could have been useful to take the same approach as Silent Hill and give the player a map. That way the player can still have an idea of where he or she needs to go and can head in the right direction without a intrusive objective marker. I definitely want to see more of this setting though, so hope to see more of these types of games in the future!
