content auto translated from {from}

Cyberia Nova studio has released a new part of the development diaries for its adventure action game 'Earth Cathedral', set to be released on November 4 on VK Play. In the video, Alexander Kashnikov, the project’s game designer, talks about enhancing the gaming experience using QTEs, mini-games, and other interaction systems.

'In 'Earth Cathedral', three mini-games are included: arm wrestling, fistfighting, and golantsy — a logic game with stones. Each has unique rules and objectives, integrated into the game's atmosphere and fitting the character's personality.

The team decided to use the familiar QTE mechanics as the most suitable way to implement many interactions in the game back in the pre-production stage. Currently, two of the mini-games (wrestling and fistfighting) and unique plot tasks that require the hero to show strength or agility are realized through timely key presses.

I just want to gather everything... especially since some time has passed and some patches have already been released.... I'm just so busy with War Thunder - constantly working through the battle pass there or the next marathon for a prize))))

As for "Smuta", I see it as a chance for a walking simulator set in familiar historical decor.
In Firewatch, it was quite intriguing to play in order to immerse myself in the atmosphere of an American reserve.
And in What Remains of Edith Finch, the enjoyable walk through a large house and the touch of American (again) everyday life.
So, I’ve been a virtual tourist, gazing at foreign life.
It's nice to see something familiar during a virtual walk.

I haven't played, but I disapprove =)

Has anyone from our site's regulars played Smuta? I'm just curious if it's that bad?
