I'm obsessed with this horrible lockpicking animation.
I've picked an awful lot of videogame locks in my life, but I've never seen one quite like this. With a good old-fashioned metal lock, you know where you are—whether you're breaking open lockers in one of Fallout's vaults, or breaking into a noble's mansion in Thief. But what are you supposed to say to a rubbery-lipped eldritch mouth with a bottom row of crooked teeth, and a top row of swollen, pallid fingers? , at least.
The atmosphere is punctured a bit by some fairly dodgy voice-acting—it's hard to take the peril too seriously when the main character sounds more bored than frightened—and I have some misgivings about the combat, which seems a little stiff and clunky, especially during boss fights. But those concerns aside, it looks fun and stylish, blending game genres together for an exuberant take on a Lovecraftian investigation into the unknown.
Of course, I wasn't paying attention to any of that during my first run through the demo. From the moment Benedict opened a door by jimmying open the most sinister orifice I've ever seen, it was all I could think about.
Does this living lock resent being picked? Can it speak, and tell us about the trials and tribulations of being a videogame lock? Would it be disgusted to learn of the countless doors, treasure chests, lockers, and jail cells I've broken open in my gaming career? Might it… plot revenge?PC Gamer NewsletterContact me with news and offers from other Future brands
