(A smelly process to be sure.) Camp Happy is actually what I wish developers would do more of a step in a new direction. Personally, I don't think this is a bad thing The Visitor came out in 2007, and to release more of the same three (almost four!) years later would have reeked a bit of beating a dead horse. Let's see you try and make that sound appealing, Tim Rice.Īnalysis: If you played the original installment, you were probably as surprised as I was to see the gleefully sadistic and disgusting point-and-click puzzle screens replaced with some good old fashioned action/puzzle gameplay. It's like a great big, dripping, fanged circle of life. Take enough damage, and your current Visitor will meet an untimely end, but another will arrive immediately to take its place, forcing you to restart the stage from the beginning. Your progress is automatically saved, so if you leave and come back to the game, you'll start on the last level you didn't complete. The trick is not only knowing what animal is best for getting you past certain obstacles, but also to make sure you're neither too big nor too small for certain areas. You can devour any creature equal to your size or smaller by pressing the, to not only gain a boost in energy and size, but also take on any special abilities that friendly forest critter might have had birds will allow you to fly, for example, while certain mammals will allow you to make your way through dense underbrush. Manually control the Visitor with the keys, maneuvering around the map, and try to make your way towards the tender human flesh in each level. your real goal to find and devour in any stage. This time, the Visitor arrives via meteor to the no doubt completely appropriately named Camp Happy, a veritable buffet of varied wildlife and oblivious campers. In this slippery, squelchy follow-up to the original, you once again take up the noble mantle of interstellar spaceworm of death, here to devour animal flesh and gain their abilities. The Visitor: Massacre at Camp Happy is ClickShake's newest horror puzzle game, does just that. While there's no denying that Will Smith and clever socio-political commentaries have done a lot of great things for the "space monster" genre, I say it's high time it gets back to its screamy, bloody roots.
