Papa Sangre II reviews

  The first three minutes of Papa Sangre II are an absolutely delight: the concept is so smart and so well executed stylistically that you really feel drawn into something different. The tone is exactly right: spooky and a little unnerving (the monsters that are chasing you make some truly revolting sounds) but funny, too, mostly thanks to Sean Bean's deadpan voiceover.

but you may be asking, Owen — how much Sean Bean has it got? I’ve played it, dear readers, and let me tell you: a lot. A lot of Sean Bean. All the Sean Bean you can handle.

Praise for Papa Sangre II:
* "If you're into new novel games, then this will really do it for you." - SkyNews
* "I've just tested it out on my mum she loved it I've never seen her smile so much!" - Midlife Gamer
* "It appealed to me because it seemed unique, something different from the regular games out there. Rather more surreal." - Sean Bean, Actor (from interview with The Verge)

Sean Bean delivers quality of the highest performance, and it goes without saying that a game like Papa Sangre clearly does not require the use of visual technologies, instead relying on the power of the most immersive and impressive graphics technology ever; the mind.

Report of the Papa Sangre II pre- screening at Nottingham's galleries of justice

Quote
The voice we hear is Sean Bean, the narrator. You are dead, he repeats in his gruff Yorkshire tones. 
Bean is your guide. He says he can get you out, back to the living, but in order to escape you have to listen to him and do what he says. "Close your eyes" he intones, slowly. "And don't open them, no matter what." This is a game of sound. So you close your eyes and you do what Bean says.

Quote
The effect is incredibly immersive. This world is full of crackly, weird, unsettling noises, and all of them seem to be within reach. They're spooky, but you navigate by them. Bean tells us that we're in a sort of gaol of souls, and that these souls come from different eras. We stumble across the memories of people who died in 1920s disasters, and 1970s drownings.

And at the centre of it all is Bean's performance, his tones shifting from companionable to conspiratorial, creepy to pleasant in the blink of an eye. He ties the action together, guiding you through an adventure that's never quite what it sounds.
