I also like another feature of the game, newspapers. You have the option to reach out and save them. Sometimes you must save the things you love, but that doesn’t always mean destroying something in the process. It’s too spoilery for me to approach, but it leads me to this synopsis. There is a huge twist in the game in the third act which drives all of this home. The only thing I wish Concrete Genie would have done more of is adding to Ash’s and the bullies’ backstories. When I began to think in those terms, I empathized with the bullies. He seems like he’s doing pretty well for himself. His mom checks on him and cares about his well-being. I first kind of scoffed at the notion, but there was a moment that I realized I needed to look at the game from Ash’s point of view. Some have gone through worse things than we would imagine. No spoilers here, but the game makes a point that all bullies aren’t necessarily just bad people. Early on in the story one of them grabs your magic brush, and when Ash in return pulls back, he catches a glimpse into their childhood. The thing that makes things different in Concrete Genie is they are not just a plot device. Ash spends most of the game running from this group that just wants to make his day horrible. There is a big moral conflict behind Concrete Genie that we mentioned earlier, bullies.
The story is sweet as you go along and by the end all the genies you craft are truly your friends. You agree and continue to save your home town. She even gives you a magic paintbrush in order to do it. He follows to find something magical, his art has come to life! Your most recent drawing Luna wants you to start beautifying the lighthouse in order to drive away a dark, corrupting goop that seems to be contaminating everything, including Denska. Ash starts exploring, only to find a page he just drew carried off by something that definitely isn’t the wind. Locked inside, Ash can only watch as it starts up and carries him to the old deserted lighthouse, which everyone says is haunted.Įverything truly begins right here. As everything transpires on the screen you can only look in horror as they destroy Ash’s notebook and push him into a tramcar. Grabbing his notebook, they do what they do best, bully. As he draws, bullies come by him and catch what he’s doing. He remembers how things were, but alas, it’s simply the times of old.

We learn as we continue through the story that it’s been abandoned, that a series of events have tainted this sweet little town. You play as Ash, a creative teen doodling in his notebook as he watches the dark port of Denska. The StoryĬoncrete Genie’s story is short but sweet. In this review, I hope to show you just how Concrete Genie accomplishes this on two levels in the game itself, and in that talented developers of Pixelopus have poured themselves into it. But in reality, you leave the world better than before when you add that bit of yourself to it.
After all, your heart and soul is a part of what you have left behind.
Creating something fresh and new is a way to express how you feel, but sometimes you have to expose yourself in doing so. Being an artist can be both exhilarating and draining.
