retrospective. But in the meantime, I thought you might enjoy this video compilation of my last few hours of play. I've focused on protagonist Anne's long, flapping arm, which you have to wrestle with to perform even the simplest of tasks, like some angry, fleshy snake. It's a nightmare to control, but there's a weird charm to it.
Trespasser is also famous for its, uh, unique approach to displaying the player's health without relying on a HUD. Swing the camera down and you'll see Anne's heaving cleavage, on which there's the outline of a heart tattoo that fills in as she takes damage. And when the tattoo is complete, she dies. It's preposterous, but an example of how imaginative Trespasser can be—even if, and this goes for pretty much everything in it, the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
To control the arm, you first extend it with the left mouse button. Then you can swing it around by moving the mouse, and grab stuff with the right button. But even with the sensitivity lowered, the thing has a mind of its own. You'll drop anything you're holding if you bump into a wall, and trying to use a fixed machine gun is basically impossible. It's like Surgeon Simulator, but played completely straight.
The game is set on Isla Sorna, or 'Site B', which fans of the series will know as the island where InGen's dinosaurs were created before being shipped over to the ill-fated park on Isla Nublar. Anne's plane crashes on the beach, and she has to make her way to the summit of a mountain to contact the Navy and get rescued. Which would be easy if there weren't hungry dinosaurs roaming the island, and she didn't have a crazy, flailing tentacle for an arm.
