Words Must Die 1.2

Words Must Die is described as a first person shooter meets a visual novel and is a very short game for one of the game jams. It looks great and the first person element of it had me very excited, however the only thing you actually shoot is the last sentence of each paragraph telling you what is happening in the story, normally you will have a choice of what you wish to do in this part of the story and you will have to shoot which ever answer you decide to go with.

After the prologue you move in to a saloon with some bottles, mugs and cardboard people which you can have some fun shooting also although it was disappointing that the glass bottles don’t explode but simply move when you shoot them but it’s definitely fun at least for a very short time shooting and knocking over the cardboard clients in the saloon.

Words Must Die is really nice looking and well made for a game made within the space of twenty four hours but game play wise it would have been nice if there was a bit more of an interactive element not to say the story isn’t interesting though, it’s humorous and enjoyable tale set in the wild west and it’s definitely worth a play through or two as there are a couple of different out comes that are possible at the end of the game.
