1heart

Mechanics

The production of Chicken in the Corn studio can be considered a combination of a classic point-and-click adventure game with elements of HOPA (hidden object point adventure) casual games. While playing, we travel through over 60 different locations - seemingly ordinary but filled with strange devices, mysterious objects and cameras tracking all our actions. In the initial stage of the game, we face mainly logic puzzles typical for adventure games that require us to collect items, combine them and use in various places. Over time, classic puzzles begin to get replaced by various mini-games, such as Sokoban, rotating circles to create a specific pattern, or repositioning fuses to cause a short circuit. There are also a few stages, in which our task is to find several items from the list presented on the screen.

Technical aspects

A characteristic feature of 1heart is the original graphic design, consisting of hand-drawn scenery, sometimes resembling an unfinished sketch. On the one hand, it perfectly emphasizes the atmosphere of the game and the feeling of danger accompanying the heroine. However, on the other hand, the style sometimes makes it difficult to find the necessary items, forcing us to click blindly. Despite the dark atmosphere, the authors have decided to include a number of easter eggs and references to the Polish history, culture and famous characters.
