El segundo juego de la serie de Crooked Man, Indie RPG muy entretenido con puzles buenos y una ambientación muy pulida, buenos personajes y buena historia, el fallo es que está solo en inglés y se hace un poco bola

I think this game is worth a try! Be advised that it is quite different compared to the first entry of this series, leaning more into fantasy than horror. Gameplay is less lineal than TCM and there are many different endings, many bad, some good. I like Sophie as a character and protagonist but I think the plot is weaker this time, probably making it go to the bottom of my top tier of the games of this series. Nevertheless, it is a good game and worth a try! And if you plan to play the whole series, then you definitely cannot skip it, or else you will miss important information (since all the stories and characters are connected)

I really enjoyed this one. I would recommend playing this one after The Crooked Man since it spoils some of the plot of The Crooked Man. This time the focus is the weirdness of the fairy world. I think it did a good job of balancing the creepiness and silliness of the setting. I do wish we got to explore a bit more of the town as there were a few buildings we never entered. Altogether, a good little cozy horror-adventure game when you are in the mood for that.

i had always thought that this entry in the strange men series was a bit odd, but in a charming way. playing it again has made me appreciate how different it is than the others. it really is quite fun, and i love the characters. definitely worth playing if you love rpg maker horror games.

[h1][b]🎮 Reseña de The Sand Man[/b][/h1]

[h2]Resumen del Juego[/h2]
The Sand Man es una aventura indie “casual” hecha en RPGMaker que te lanza a un cuento de fantasía oscura con vibra surrealista, terror psicológico y una protagonista femenina que claramente no pidió estar metida en este desastre onírico. Es 2D pixelado, con enfoque narrativo y varios finales, así que sí: aquí vienes a leer, explorar, tomar decisiones y sospechar de absolutamente todo.

La primera impresión es la clásica: “qué bonito el pixel art… seguro no me va a traumar”. Y luego el juego te recuerda que en este tipo de historias nadie duerme bien, la lógica se va de vacaciones y tú eres el voluntario oficial para juntar pistas mientras el ambiente se pone más tenebroso. Casual, dicen. Casual como ver una película de terror a las 3 a.m. y jurar que oíste pasos.

[h2]Dulces Sueños vs. Pesadillas con Recibo[/h2]

Lo Bueno:
✅ Finales múltiples que sí motivan a rejugar y comparar decisiones 🧩
✅ Buena trama con tono de fantasía oscura y surrealismo bien aprovechado 🌙
✅ Ambientación tenebrosa y atmosférica: el “mood” hace la chamba 🎭
✅ Estética 2D pixelada con identidad indie (RPGMaker bien usado) 🕹️
✅ 27 logros: para el cazador compulsivo que necesita validación digital 🏆

Lo No Tan Bueno:
❌ Jugadores actuales: 0… o sea, estás literalmente solo en la pesadilla 👻
❌ Al ser RPGMaker, la jugabilidad tiende a sentirse “conocida” y algo rígida 🧱
❌ Lo “casual” puede leerse como “poco retador” si esperas mecánicas profundas 😴
❌ Si no conectas con el estilo narrativo/anime y el terror psicológico, se te cae el encanto 📉
❌ La rejugabilidad depende de cuánto te importen los finales; si no, te vas y ya 🚪

[tr][td][b]Total Puntuaciones (Bueno)[/b][/td][td][b]6.3[/b][/td][td]Un indie narrativo sólido: no reinventa nada, pero sabe contar su pesadilla.[/td][/tr]
[/table]

[h2]Conclusión (Bueno)[/h2]
The Sand Man es de esos indies que no necesitan fuegos artificiales: te atrapan por historia y atmósfera, y te mantienen incómodo con esa fantasía oscura surrealista que te hace dudar si lo que viste fue real o tu cerebro pidiendo vacaciones. Cuando funciona, funciona muy bien: te mete en el mood y te arrastra hasta querer ver “qué pasa si elijo lo otro”.

Ahora, seamos controversiales: que tenga 0 jugadores activos es poético y preocupante a la vez. Poético porque estás solo con tus demonios; preocupante porque la conversación comunitaria está en modo fantasma. Aun así, 331 recomendaciones totales indican que, cuando alguien lo juega, suele salir diciendo “ok, sí valió la pena el viaje (y el trauma)”.

Puntuación Total: 6.3/10
Número de jugadores activos al momento de hacer esta review: 0
Descuento máximo registrado: -50%
Veredicto: [i]Recomendado con reservas[/i]

Si te gustan las aventuras indie narrativas en 2D con terror psicológico, fantasía oscura y finales múltiples, aquí hay una experiencia “buena” y bien armada. Si buscas mecánicas profundas, reto constante o una comunidad viva, mejor ve con expectativas bajas… como tus probabilidades de dormir tranquilo después.

Even though it wasn't as difficult to beat this game as its predecessor, I enjoyed the plot and gameplay way more. The return of [spoiler]David[/spoiler] and just being able to see his apartment in this game = AWESOME.

I also want to thank the creator for adding the bonus scenario to see how the Sand Man experienced the interactions he had with Sophie. [spoiler]He isn't a bad person at all! And it was sooo cute how he eventually developed a crush on Sophie in the happy ending :)[/spoiler]

P.S. [spoiler]Sophie was so mother in the Queen of the Night ending[/spoiler]

Looking forward to playing the remaining games in the Strange Men series!

Поначалу меня действительно раздражала эта игра. Обман ожиданий относительно того, что я ждала историю похожую на Crooked Man + то, как автор заскриптовал сюжетные места и увеличил масштабы карты и размазал по нему геймплей, что утомляло.

Но сама история полностью реабилитировала игру в моих глазах.

A second part of the strange men franchise, although probably the worst out of four. The game does have puzzles that are rather tough to solve, comparing it to the prequel, the crooked man. The story of this game is also so trippy and it's really hard to understand what is going on. It does mention that you shouldn't have expected it to be like TCM, but it doesn't make this game any better, this game is just bad, and I do not understand what so fancy do people find in this part.

Another masterpiece made by Uri, I must say that I was a little bit disappointed with the fact that the game wasn't entirely a Survival-Horror game like how The Crooked Man was but it was nonetheless and amazing and perfect game.
I am not going to spoil anything but the "strange man" games are connected in one way or another which makes it even better for me personally, there were a few weird things and ideas that I am not too fond of but it's still a 10/10 game.

absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ peak this is one of the strongest titles in the series and it holds up with nearly everything in TCM of course not as much but honestly it's absolute kino nonetheless. In classic Uri fashion it's not too difficult to get multiple endings (you don't have to go back too far to get the different endings) with even bonus content. Great story, strong characters and development, with little need for a guide. Horror with comedic twist. Absolutely peak.

It's such a beautiful game, the story starts similar to other games of a similar genre, but very quickly becomes it's own thing - and I ADORE The Sand Man for that. I don't think the topic of childhood memories and stories gets enough attention. It evokes this wonderful feeling of nostalgia, when days were simple, and daily worries were nowhere near troubling to today. Play this game, it's dirt cheap, kind of short, but very satisfying and still keeps a tense atmosphere. Loved it 10/10

The sand man - продолжение первой игры из серии The strange man, а именно раскрывает нам новую героиню Софи, которая дружит с гг из прошлой части, Дэвидом.

Конкретно эта игра - меняет подачу истории на 180 градусов, да, конечно вы все еще можете умереть от шипов или [spoiler]единорог может насадить вас на свой рог, чтоб его черти отодрали...[/spoiler] но, по большей части это все же игра-сказка. Фантастическая, местами смешная (особенно доп.глава, которая очень меня порадовала).

Действительно интересные загадки, не для тупых и не для гениев. Прям золотой стандарт и не скучно и в гайд лезть не захочешь. Конечно, тут как и почти во всех играх рпг 16-х годов грешат тем что ты должен по 20-й раз все оббегать чтоб найти что-то после запуска определенной сюжетной точки, но в принципе, не плачевно и почти не бесило.

В этой истории нет как таковых злодеев в принципе, просто истории и то как они складываются в зависимости от выборов. Прошла на 100% достижений и не желею ни разу! В отличии от The crooked man которого Вы в любом случае должны пройти 2-ой раз ради + пары строчек диалога, тут таким маразмом не нужно заниматься. Тут в отличи от трупа с сломанной шеей вы бегаете от феи песочного человека. 10/10. Лучший персонаж реально! Так что спасибо Юри за шедевр. Игра однозначно уходит в любимые.

The Sand Man, developed by Uri Games and published by PLAYISM, is a somber and atmospheric psychological horror game that weaves dreamlike storytelling with subtle emotional depth. It stands as the second entry in the “Strange Men” series, following The Crooked Man, and carries forward the same pixel art aesthetic, eerie sound design, and character-driven narrative. Despite its simple visual style and minimalist mechanics, The Sand Man delivers a uniquely haunting experience, driven by themes of isolation, emotional neglect, and the fragile boundary between dreams and reality.

The game centers around Sophie Grundler, a teenage girl plagued by chronic insomnia. Her sleepless nights are more than just an inconvenience—they begin to unravel her grip on reality. One night, after a particularly unsettling episode at home, she ventures out into town only to discover that everyone around her has mysteriously fallen into a deep sleep. What begins as a mysterious anomaly quickly escalates into a surreal and terrifying journey, as Sophie ventures into increasingly strange and symbolic environments, unraveling both the mystery of the Sand Man and the deeper pains buried within her past.

Gameplay in The Sand Man is structured around exploration and narrative progression, with occasional puzzles and tense encounters. The game plays out in a side-scrolling, top-down RPGMaker format, where players guide Sophie through various dreamlike environments—her school, her town, unsettling forests, and realms that seem to exist outside of time. While the mechanics are straightforward—walking, interacting, using inventory items—the real substance lies in observation and emotional engagement. Puzzles are mostly logical, though they can be cryptic at times, requiring attention to environmental clues or character dialogue. Occasionally, Sophie must flee from or avoid danger, with chase sequences punctuating the otherwise slow and contemplative pacing.

The game’s pixel art style is simple but effective. Though not graphically complex, the environments are crafted with care and intention, using darkness, emptiness, and subtle visual shifts to create an oppressive, dreamlike atmosphere. Lighting plays a significant role in setting the mood, with many areas cloaked in shadow or flickering with an unnatural glow. This visual tone, paired with the sparse but haunting sound design, heightens the sense of unease. Music is used sparingly and with purpose—at times melancholy, at others dissonant and uncomfortable—always supporting the emotional tone of the scene. One of the game’s strengths is how it often lets silence speak louder than words, allowing the player's imagination to fill in the dread.

Narratively, The Sand Man is quietly devastating. While it appears to be a supernatural mystery on the surface, it gradually reveals itself as a deeply personal story about trauma and neglect. Sophie’s interactions with others—both in her waking life and in the surreal dreamscapes—reveal a character who has been emotionally overlooked by the people around her. As the player progresses, it becomes clear that the Sand Man is not just a monster, but a manifestation of deeper emotional and psychological wounds. The game’s storytelling is subtle, relying more on implication than exposition, and it often leaves interpretation open to the player. The multiple endings reflect the complexity of Sophie’s journey and offer meaningful variations based on your decisions.

While The Sand Man is a powerful experience, it does come with its share of frustrations. Some sections can be vague in direction, and the pace is deliberately slow, which may test the patience of players expecting faster, more traditional horror gameplay. Chase sequences, while adding urgency, can feel awkward due to the limitations of the RPGMaker engine, and trial-and-error deaths may irritate those who prefer more forgiving mechanics. However, for players who value narrative depth and emotional resonance over polish and adrenaline, these flaws are minor compared to what the game offers in return.

In the end, The Sand Man is not a horror game that screams—it whispers. Its impact lies in the quiet sadness of its characters, the creeping discomfort of its environments, and the unsettling feeling that something is deeply wrong, even if you can’t always name it. It’s a story of fear, but also of emotional disconnection and the desperate search for understanding. For those willing to slow down and engage with it on its own terms, The Sand Man provides a chilling, poignant, and deeply human experience that lingers well beyond the final scene.

Rating: 9/10

Bienvenido a "interactúa con cada objeto existente hasta que alguno triggeree un evento que te permita avanzar la historia".
Por lo general, disfruto un buen desafío cuando se trata de un Indie RPG, disfruté The Crooked Man y su historia, aún cuando tuve una u dos instancias en que tuve que recorrer el mapa más de un vez a falta de pistas claras, y ese es el principal problema de The Sand Man, raramente recibirás una pista útil (o una pista sin más) que te indique lo siguiente a realizar para continuar jugando, te obliga durante más de tres horas a figurarte cómo avanzar muchas veces con soluciones que no tienen ni pie ni cabeza. Ah, y si te pierdes un cuadro de texto que podría haber sido útil, suerte adivinando qué podía haber sido pues Sophie no lo repetirá incluso si vuelves a interactuar con el objeto.
Por el momento, no le recomendaría la experiencia a nadie, es mejor simplemente optar por mirar un walkthrough.

I was really enjoying the first two-thirds of this game. But in the final third, I got stuck because I advanced before completing certain tasks—tasks the game gave no clear hints about. When I tried to go back and trigger the missed dialogues and interactions, most of them couldn’t be fixed. This also broke the atmosphere, since some dialogues referenced events I had already completed.

On top of that, there’s a major game design flaw: in one section, you’re not supposed to use an important item, because if you do, you lose it forever. The game gives you absolutely no clue about this. The only way to avoid losing the item is by either following a walkthrough or being the kind of player who keeps multiple save files and can reload an older one. In my case, I overwrited my only save file because I felt like the item was supposed to break in the point of the game I was. I’m not sure if losing the item blocks progress entirely, but it certainly makes the game much more frustrating.

Well, this thumb down is not intended to be a harsh one, since the game is very cheap and have cool story. But I highly reccomend cheking your steps using a walkthrough guide :)

其次是乱七八糟的解密，潜行，莫名其妙的玩意

最后剧情也是够烂的，我奔着恐怖游戏来的，没想到会变成暗黑童话，最后居然变成了暖心小故事，你妹的…

В девстве смотрел прохождения The Crooked Man и The Sand Man, теперь прошёл первую и вторую. Удовольствие получил как от ностальгии, так и от самой реализации игры! Конечно, есть шераховатости, но они не мешают наслаждаться историей. Это очень сказочная и немного наивная история, но она не теряется на фоне TCM. Также понравилось то, что идёт после хорошей концовки. Очень много приятных мелочей и это помогло мне больше проникнуться рядом персонажей. Надеюсь, что не затяну с прохождением оставшихся игр серии)

I really enjoyed this game! I've played 3 out of the 4 "the something man" series, I own the last one and will play it soon. One notable thing is how different all the games are, not just in story but game play, I was expecting a bunch of very similar games. I hope we get more games in the future! I also love how the stories cross over with David! Only question is, is there a best order to play these games in, cause I may have missed references in the first one I played. Anyways, if you're considering buying these games, i say definitely grab them!

The Sand Man, assim como o jogo anterior do mesmo criador, é um jogo que parece ser mais um horror rpg maker mas que surpreende por ser uma experiência mais instrospectiva, contando uma história sobre traumas e medos que o personagem principal carrega, mostrando que nem tudo é preto no branco, apostando em uma história que é mais sobre o jogador e não sobre a trama e sua ficção, vale a pena, é uma experiência curta mas interessante pra refletir, contudo recomendo com guia pois a exploração desse jogo pode ser frustrante considerando o quão aberta é em alguns momentos.

Melhor jogo do Man series. É a continuação do jogo The Crooked Man e Sophie é disparado a melhor protagonista dos 4 jogos. Gostei bastante da ambientação do jogo e do desenrolar da história. Os finais do jogo são incríveis e sinceramente é o único jogo do Man series que me deu vontade de jogar várias vezes. Também é incrível o grande foreshadow que o jogo faz para os eventos do próximo jogo The Boogie Man.

스토리 중간부터 슬슬 무슨 이야기인지
무슨 스토리인지 슬슬 알게됨

그리고 엔딩도 6개이고
엔딩 보는 방법도 되게 다양했음
볼려면 저장을 잘해야 한다...!!

결론은 말하자면
일러 괜찮으면서 스토리도 괜찮고
엔딩도 다양해서 보기 좋았음

아쉬운 점은
브금자체가 없어서 쫌 많이 아쉬웠음
그리고 퍼즐풀 때 단순하면서 복잡하다~

This one is definitely a weird game. Kind of endearing because of that.

[b]I like the story personally.[/b] It's weird and whimsical, not like a typical horror. The idea of the whole world being put to sleep is very interesting, and it was fun to unravel the mystery of why this happened. [spoiler]When you get the good ending, it's actually kinda wholesome.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]...though I found Sandman's feelings for Sophie to be highkey cursed, considering the age range... it's an old game, so I don't know how old the creator was at the time, but yeah. It's weird. We don't talk about it.[/spoiler]

Unlike in The Crooked Man (the previous game in the series), [b]I found the puzzles to be more hard / tedious to figure out. Some the answers required "insane man's logic", so don't be afraid to pull up a walkthrough.[/b] It also has less action than Crooked Man. Unlike Crooked Man, [b]it's more slow-paced and story-focused,[/b] though both games were finished roughly around the 4-5 hour mark.

[b]In conclusion, it's a fun little story,[/b] and is only $3. If you liked The Crooked Man or any of the other Strange Man games, I would recommend trying out The Sand Man!

A marked improvement over The Crooked Man. Much more imaginative visuals, especially in the late game. Puzzles are fun, with only occasional guesswork. Not so much scary as it is dark in certain implications.

Thankfully, The Crooked Man is not required viewing, but fans will surely appreciate the tasteful crossover. Worth a buy at £2, but the whole series reliably goes on sale for those strapped for cash.

This game is not as good as the Crooked man, but it's intentions are different and Uri states that. He wanted this to be a different sort of game and it is. This is worth playing if you're a fan of RPG maker games or of the crooked man. This game is a little less horror focused but it has an incredible story with good twists and turns and the bonus content is very well done in relation to the way the story unfolds.

This is a fun shorter game following a school girl that wakes up in a town that is in a permanent sleep state. You must solve puzzles and keep up with the story to find out why the town is in the state it is.

The game has a semi-creepy setting in an abandoned town. I did like some of the artwork, and dialogue. There are also unseen/seen forces out to get you that you have to actively avoid. I'm not a huge fan of timed events and sneaking, so there were some parts that were slightly frustrating to me. Some people like that aspect, so didn't kill the overall game. The story was decent, and it was entertaining for a few hours. It does have a couple different endings depending on your choices.

Overall, was a positive experience so can recommend. If you're looking for a fun/shorter game this is a good one.

The Sand Man has an unique element of whimsical, dreamy and ethereal atmosphere that the other games in the Strange Man series do not have, something that is very remarkable. At the same time that we contemplate real problems in Sophie's juvenile and restless mind, we can also discover a magical fantasy world (also kinda weird), with fun puzzles and charismatic characters.
Totally different from the previous game, The Crooked Man, but still a win.

3.窗口一旦失去焦点后高概率卡死严重破坏游戏体验不过好在按F8可以收回来

4.有一些无意义bug "在触发a事件前尝试去获取解决a事件需要的b道具"不成立很逆天从没见过不能瞎逛拿到道具然后顺手解决任务的还得特意跑两趟是吧而且如果你提前这么做了还可能来BUG 导致你无法拿到道具必须退出重进

10/10, even better than "The Crooked Man" I absolutely loved the Sandman's storyline/point of view. it was both cute and a little uhm creepy haha, cause he fell in love with her. It’s kind off understandable for someone who had been alone for so long and suffered from insominia but my man you´re centuries old. What’s even more adorable is how he never meant any harm, just acted stupidly. That said, my heart shattered during the ending. 'See you in a bad dream' the soft weeping was Absolutely heartbreaking. This has definitely become my favorite game from this creator. Highly recommend!" also love the ending "Invisable sweet heart" poor lullaby they deserve better.

[i]The Sand Man[/i] não é um jogo de terror, nem de perto - o que não é uma coisa ruim, pelo menos para mim, mas ele é anunciado como se fosse. Apesar de ter algumas cenas tensas, ele tem muito mais toques de fantasia, com a presença de magia, seres místicos, etc. A história e os personagens são agradáveis - principalmente a Sophie e o Sandman, que são uma graça -, e a gameplay tem alguns segmentos interessantes, como certos minigames em partes determinadas do jogo. No geral, não tão bom quanto seu antecessor, mas ainda assim bem bacana.

고전 명작 The Crooked Man의 후속작

전작도 리메이크판 치고 상당히 옛날 게임 느낌이 많이 났는데
샌드맨은 후속작이지만 더 퇴화한 느낌이다...

전작도 힌트를 넘기면 다시 볼 수 없고
여기저기 둘러보며 찾아야되는 건 맞지만
적어도 어디로 가야할지, 무엇을 해야할지는 확실했었음

샌드맨은 중간에 이제 뭐해야될지 감이 안 잡히는 부분이 많고
아무 힌트 없이 그냥 특정 장소로 가야하는 부분도 몇몇 있었음
스토리도 보너스 스토리를 안 보면 이해가 힘든 것도 많았음...

번역도 문장이 매끄럽지 않은 부분이 좀 많이 보임

가격이 싸니 제 값은 한다지만 그래도 좀 애매할 거 같음
플레이한다면 꼭 공략찾아서 읽으면서 진행하는 거 추천

Для начала - предисловие для всех игр серии. Каждая игра без исключения имеет ОТВРАТНЫЙ геймдизайн, решение головоломок в игре может быть настолько не очевидным, что весь геймплей превращается в беготню по локации (обычно ВСЕЙ доступной карте, потому что где окажется ключевой предмет - да хрен его знает) и прокликиванию абсолютно всех предметов в комнате. Ради геймплея или интересных загадок вам ну точно не сюда и лучше даже не пытаться, есть огромное количество куда более интересных и честно и правильно построенных игр жанра, в которые стоит поиграть (те же Yuppie Psycho, Mad Father, Misao). Однако в играх ест нечто другое, что, например, меня зацепило. Но это более конкретный вопрос.

The Sand Man - вторая игра в серии, сиквел "кривого мужика". И... Вот... Вот если вам понравилась первая игра, то вот это вообще не значит, что понравится эта. Игры связаны исключительно существованием в них обеих Дэвида и Ширли, и всё. Стилистически и атмосферно НУ ВООБЩЕ не то. Если оригинал - лёгкая хоррор история про призрака, уууу, то вот Песочный человек - хеппи три френдс про феечек. Это даже по тегам не хоррор и мистика, а фэнтези. Здесь всё немного абсурдно и сказочно, и в то же время есть жестокость. Я понимаю, что наши ожидания - наши проблемы, но это был вот прям эксперимент со стороны Ури сделать после классической мистики в первой части такую смену настроений и атмосферы. И вот если это принять и быть готовым к [spoiler]драконам, единорогам, русалкам, магическим палкам и живой пыли[/spoiler] - то, вообще-то говоря... Атмосфера тут, конечно, слабее. По крайней мере в первой половине игры.

Дело в том, что вначале игра пытается вывозить на контрасте серости и обыденности мира нашего и происходящей в нём магии, и ради этого даёт игроку на исследование целый город. И с этим связана очевидная проблема серии: "КУДА ИДТИ, С*КА БЛ*ТЬ?!?!?!" Огромная локация, нашел ключ, даже подписано от чего он - но где это чего, ♥♥♥♥♥? Пока дойдешь, пока допрёшь че от тебя хотеть - три раза город обойдешь. И карта помогает не всегда, просто поверьте. Здания, то есть мини подлокации, в которых и происходит сюжет, не сильно лучше, ибо в отличие от предыдущей и последующих игр в этой планировка зданий кажутся ну прям ленивой. Как будто лучше было уменьшить город и расширить здания. С другой стороны - благодаря этому решению события ощущаются масштабными, а сюжетные моменты не прерываются получасовыми поисками очередного ключа, так что такой выбор - палка о двух концах.

Другое дело вторая половина игры. Игрока переносят в [spoiler]волшебный мир фей[/spoiler], исследовать который в разы интереснее, потому что не знаешь, чего ожидать. Куда более интересные локации, персонажи (чего стоит Никси🥰) да и в целом игра только здесь разгоняется. Но надо отметить, что, справедливости ради, без первой половины, эта тоже бы казалась скучной и унылой.

Причем что там, что там игра в плане головоломок стала ещё сложнее и не очевиднее, тупее. Произошел ивент - будь добр, пробегись по городу и найди внезапно открытую дверь ради ключа. [spoiler]В замке в мире фей - ВООБЩЕ не лучше[/spoiler]. В TCM НИ РАЗУ не пользовался гайдом, здесь - открывал его тут и там. Не так много, но все равно иногда прям подгорает из-за неочевидности решения.

Сюжетно игра... Ну, явно большее пытается донести, берет менее типичную проблему (хватит быть терпилой), однако имхо в сравнении с остальными играми делает это как-то уныло. Основной посыл, конечно, трогает тебя, многие сталкивались с чем-то похожим, но как будто чего-то не хватает. Имхо - персонажей. Софи здесь ещё не бесит так сильно, как в будущем, однако об остальных персонажах мы почти ничего не знаем, оттого на их взаимоотношения ну глубочайше пох*й. Не понимаешь ни глубины конфликта, ни проникаешься разными сторонами, просто чуток грустинки накинули и типо понимай. Респект могу накинуть только на Колыбельную, действительно трогательный персонаж хоть и из-за своей природы пустой все равно показывает больше характера, чем почти все человеческие персонажи. В хорошей концовке с ним прямо... Уютно становится, меланхолично грустно, и в то же время приятно.

Кстати концовки здесь ещё более абсурдные, вообще ничего не подводит к ним, вот вообще ничего, однако всё ещё можно понять как что получить, ибо концовка зависит от выборов в диалогах. Но тупость и даже в большей степени непонятность плохих концовок - это что-то с чем-то.

Приятный бонус - дополнительный сценарий от лица самого Песочного. Имхо - дополнительные сценарии куда более приятный способ побудить игрока провести больше времени в игре, чем дополнительное препровождение той же самой игре, что было в The Crooked Man. Он и дополняет сюжет, и даёт что-то новое.

Я как-то описал игру не очень приятно, но... Плюсы есть. Честно-честно. Это и весьма необычный сюжет, который хоть и не хранит особой интриги, удивляет твистами, местами нагоняет жути, здесь есть приятные персонажи, есть знакомая мораль. Игра сильнее всего выделяется на фоне всех четырех частей, и понравится она, мне кажется, меньше остальных, однако есть что запомнить в атмосфере этой истории.

The Sand Man is a decent game, but I much preferred The Crooked Man that came before it. First of all, it's not scary whatsoever. This is not a horror game, it's like a bedtime story with soldiers, a dragon, a dwarf, fairies and so on. Also, a lot of the puzzles are annoying and you definitely need a guide at times. Still, the story is charming, and that's why I'm recommending it. Just don't expect much in terms of scares.

"Continuação" de The Crooked Man. Enquanto eu achei o primeiro jogo muito bom, achei este somente ok. A atmosfera e a história são diferentes da primeira aventura, o que não achei ruim. Acho interessante quando histórias que se passam no mesmo mundo tem tons diferentes, mas que não fica uma coisa irreconhecível da sua origem.

Não acho a Sophie uma personagem ruim, mas quem já viu como o David é no primeiro jogo, acho que ela poderia ser mais desenvolvida, mostrar mais facetas dela, etc. Olhando agora, sou bem neutro quanto a ela, achei seu arco de personagem muito básico. Levei mais sustos que em Crooked Man, por incrível que pareça e isso me deixou satisfeito, porque mesmo sendo um jogo bem mais leve, ainda dá pra ficar tenso.

Quanto à história, ela não é ruim, mas achei bem qualquer coisa o final bom (creio que mais pelo jeito que fecha o arco da Sophie nesse jogo). Gostei bem mais de um dos Bad Endings, que não vou dar spoiler de qual é, mas me pegou de surpresa.

Em suma, ele é ok. Não é ruim e como uma "continuação" do primeiro jogo, não saí decepcionado.

和第一部相比就不太恐怖，比较像微恐童话（制作者也在游戏内说游戏的类型可能会根据名字调整）。大概给到3.8/5

指引相对第一部会好点。虽然把整个小镇都做出来了，但是果然还是没用的房间更多啊，能看到第一部的主角好好的还是挺开心的。

解密部分也还是一如既往的比较简单，总体来说剧情是比较温馨的，加的分数加在后面的沙人视角，真的是萌萌的老爷子呐哈哈哈哈。

但是也有bug，既然能做出那种时间机器，怎么不做一个晚上干活的机器人，这样自己能干活的同时也可以睡觉，或者就是像后面矮人说的，可以暂停时间睡一下觉。

Drastically different from the first entry of the series, this one is more fantasy than horror.
Still pretty good, overall enjoyed the whole thing; my only complaint is the lack of hints (on what to do/where to go) at certain points, leading to some VERY annoying backtracking, but it might just be my dumb ass (reading some of the reviews it seems to be a shared feeling, so).
Also have to point out the noticeable endings improvements from TCM, which aren't just '50/50 prompt options with a 30 seconds dialogue afterwards' anymore, but actual turn of events.

Anyways, we love you Sophie, and we still love you David
