Wilt: Last Blossom

You have to make it hit the stalactites, so mind where it's standing when you punch it.

My complaint is that victory comes too easily, and too consequence-free. I don't like it when a game goes too far in the direction of hating on the player character for doing what they had absolutely no choice but to do (like in The Power or a game whose name I can't quite remember where you're created by a sage, told to go get something at whatever cost, and then the final boss is some Watcher fellow who you can either kill or go find special things to 'redeem' yourself). But I think this game goes too far in the opposite direction.

Sure, I can sympathize with the main character's problem. His daughter, his only connection to the world, his only reason for living, is taken from him. But at the same time, the people who took her were obviously trying to save a whole lot more people. There is something to be said for the good of the few as opposed to the good of the many. But the game treats the hazmat fellows like they were doing something wrong, when the only mistake I can see them to have made was keeping mutants around in a manner that would release them if the power went out, especially subject X.

In the end, the main character has probably killed a whole lot of basically innocent people who were just trying to keep humanity alive as a species to save one little girl. And yet the hazmat guys are the ones who are supposed to have learned something about ends justifying means. I just wish there had been a bit more balance to what happened, instead of the main character getting exactly what he wants through killing every human being in his way (killing the mutants is fine, don't get me wrong).

It's also a bit of a plothole that Mr. main character was apparently healthy enough to run around, jump around, punch mutants in the face, and shoot a gun, and he's perfectly fine through all of this, yet he wasn't considered for study. Despite being sludgified or whatever, he seemed to be remarkably well. For that matter, since the girl was his daughter, his genes must have gone into whatever made her immune to the sludging or whatever. There is literally no reason why the hazmat people needed to separate the man and his daughter--they should have come with offerings of shelter and food in return for being studied for a cure, for the good of mankind. Then everybody wins, but I suppose that would have prevented us from having a plot. I just think things could have probably been written better to prevent this gigantic hole in the plot from happening, is all.

Lilly had somehow turned in to Test Subject X.

This game met it's mark on where the creators intended. Perhaps the story could have been tweaked a little more but I feel one must suspend their disbelief for games as they would movies.(In no way am I saying to suspend one's intelligence though.)

I look at it like this, "Desperate times call for desperate measures" to be cliche; as the bio chemists had an opportunity to possible end the disease, they had to secure such hope at any cost. Asking a story set in the post apocalyptic era to play fair/nice, means that you live in a sane and just world where these genre's could never exist. XP
(A great example of this is Yahtzee's 1213 series)

The creators got the story right in establishing the main character's daughter is his only reason to live. If they wanted to improve or accentuate upon this, perhaps they could have added the main character's expressions of guilt or feelings about what he's doing and how he's meeting his objectives since he has "Mama bear syndrome"(through monologues and side thoughts to help identify with the character.) Any game creator or player should see through the main character's eyes and ask: "what is this character feeling/thinking? why do/did they make these decisions?" That's one of the biggest key factors in narrative writing.

hideout where you can talk to the creators of the game?

In the laboratory with the bridge operator. Clearly I have to destroy the emergency trigger but I can't figure out how. I'm hoping I haven't missed something because I can't leave since the back-up generator started.

Lob a grenade at the emergency trigger

I have to disagree with Xindaris that the Hazmat people weren't in the wrong for kidnapping the girl for tests. People who use force to defend their children in real life are viewed better than people that kidnap kids for sciencing. Just sayin'.

And the main character could only kill the hazmats responsible for taking his child, people that were shooting at him and mutants. (You didn't have to kill anyone though. You could walk right past the baddies. The only times you had to kill were the boss fights.) The innocent people including Hazmats that surrendered could not be killed.

As for him having the same special genes as his daughter, she could have inherited them from her mother. There were plenty of other survivors so that doesn't mean he had the same resistance as her. Afterall, all his skills were obtained later. He could only jump at first.

I agree with Akarroa, I thought Test Subject X was going to be Lily as well. I guess I've seen too many M. Night Shamalamadingdong films.

Overall, a really fun game.

at the door where you have to put a code in order to open it... where do I find it?

Talk to people!

You should speak to everyone before you go up to the surface, going up the fist ladder and talking to the guy in his sick bed will push you in the right direction

The lower right machine sets a metal box moving on the blue conveyor, the upper left machine drops it. Drop 4 on the monster and it dies.

gun?

You have to shoot upwards towards the red crate.

followed the guy you freed down his "shortcut" back to his kid? Try punching the three blocks on the ground over the pit there.

double jump followed by a wall jump

Go back to the ship and talk with that guy. Then the ship will take to somewhere near a big wall (On right side of the ship). You have to jump into water and then swim into the tunnel under the wall.

The dying hazmat officer right before the final boss battle concluded that "The ends don't just justify the means." Why on earth would he say this? Yes, he took someone's child, but she was also the only immune person on the entire planet. The hazmats were attempting to find a cure.

Instead, the man just announces his guilt. Had this been bothering him all along? It seemed to me as if he had no reason to say this. It was as if he gave up when the generator went down (which makes no sense).

I think a better ending would have been some of the hazmats saying how close they were to a solution before the protagonist killed them. That way, the protagonist would actually be an anti-hero (as he would have prevented humanity's recovery) but also be a hero for saving his daughter.

A story told in that way (which wouldn't be that difficult, just changing a couple lines of dialogue) would be much more intriguing, and would leave the player with a sense of hopelessness even in fulfillment.
