This creates a wonderfully refreshing cinematic look - one uniquely accomplished not with photorealistic graphics, but through stylish transitions that move the camera in a wide array of twists and turns. Sometimes, this is done simply by rotating the camera around the object in question until you line up the next memory within, while other instances require simple, short minigames, like arranging dishware on a table or moving books on a shelf. Throughout the environment are “apertures,” which are represented by everything from raindrops and flowers to birds and piano keys, and you’ll have to engage with each of them to segue into the next scene. While basic pointing and clicking will get you in and around various parts of Mary’s home, Hindsight employs a novel approach to taking you through Mary’s actual memories. But it’s how you interact with these visuals that Hindsight becomes downright transformative. Developer Team Hindsight, led by creator Joel McDonald ( Prune), has opted for an understated, painterly aesthetic, which enhances the overall solemn atmosphere. A fresh spin on “cinematic”īefore all of that, though, I was quickly taken aback by the presentation in Hindsight. In this way, Mary’s story - rife with conflicted, unresolved feelings towards a parent - hit surprisingly close to home, and it made the already solid Hindsight even more impactful as a result.
