Selma and the Wisp Switch NSP Free Download Romslab This is a different concept than most puzzle games like this. Usually a health meter isn’t something you have to worry about but the Wisp AND Selma both have them. The Wisp’s is more like an energy meter though. If you press the B button the Wisp can use an energy charge that blows some objects up or activates switches. If you use it too much, hurt the Wisp, or put it under water for too long, it will use all of its energy and die. Selma and the Wisp follows in Limbo’s footsteps by taking the same route of a young girl dodging an unfair road ahead with only a small guiding light to help her through.

Selma is pretty much useless; she’s drawn to the light that you control with the left stick and she can be told when to stop. The orb of light – or ‘Wisp’ as it’s called here’ – can be used to ‘explode’, making way for Selma to pass. One puzzle involved exploding near some rubble that fell through a cavern, and then tasked the player with figuring out that you needed to raise the water level, bringing a handy platform to the surface to enable progression. With ten chapters to complete, light puzzle-solving in relatively small chunks is all there which can really slow down your progression through Selma and the Wisp.

Light and darkness are not just visual themes—they affect gameplay. Shadows hide threats, and light is your guiding and protective force.

A lot of the earlier stages require liberal use of trial and error, but as time went on, I found myself stopping Selma to look ahead for the danger that inevitably awaited just a few yards up. There are plenty of varying methods for Selma to meet her timely demise, but there’s a hefty bulk of missed tricks. Never was I wowed with a puzzle; each chapter played on a previous puzzle idea but didn’t deviate away from the core idea of hitting a switch to make something move. It gets tiring too when the game is riddled with hitbox glitches and broken mechanics. The premise is painfully straightforward and one that isn’t fully explained.

You’re there to guide a girl called Selma through the darkness with obstacles in your way and dangers that are there – I guess – to represent the nightmares of small children. If being stuck down a low-poly coalmine is a childhood fear, then the developers have hit the nail on the head, but very little of the content seemed to make sense. The severe lack of clear context could be seen as appropriate or deliberate, but going from a poison-spitting hole to a shifty-looking skull that crumbles through the floor to a nuclear power plant with lava bubbling in large cauldrons makes for an awkward journey.

Environmental puzzles and platforming. You’ll activate levers, move objects, avoid hazards, and solve logic-based challenges to progress.

The game itself is comprised of ten chapters followed by a final chapter in which you overcome some trials and tribulations, there isn’t really much of an epilogue. Each chapter is short enough to enjoy, and not overwhelm a player, but the puzzles add a certain difficulty spike at times. However, there’s an abundance of checkpoints along the way so Selma’s death usually won’t result in any loss of progress, you’ll restart pretty much next to the puzzle. The concept of the game is fairly simplistic, you control the Wisp around the screen and Selma follows it automatically – as long as nothing stops her or gets in the way. Anomaly Pools Switch NSP

Interestingly, both the Wisp and Selma have energy bars of their own, the Wisp’s gauge is a blue bar at to the top right and Selma’s is a human heart in the top left corner. As you control and use the Wisp’s abilities (explosions or commanding Selma to stay) you’ll continuously deplete energy which can be regained via energy balls that are scattered throughout the stages (certain environmental conditions will also affect energy depletion). Although continually draining energy resources are sometimes a pain to manage, you don’t really have to worry whilst playing Selma and the Wisp.

You control a wisp (a glowing light orb), which guides Selma, a frightened little girl, through a nightmarish world.

Young Selma is terrified of the creature that lives under her bed, so she escaped to the world inside her wardrobe. Except… it isn’t quite the safe haven she was hoping for. To guide Selma around, you take control of a ‘wisp’ who is able to tell her where to go and what to climb as well as destroying monsters and obstacles in her way. You don’t actually do anything to move Selma; she moves on her own, following and trusting the wisp completely. Of course, this will oftentimes lead to her demise – but Selma and the Wisp has forgiving checkpoints that help you out in the cash of Selma’s untimely death.

The next health meter, which will not catch your attention right away, an interesting design choice, in my opinion, is Selma’s physical heart meter located in the top right corner of the screen in dark red. You will most likely only notice this once you, the Wisp, stray too far off from Selma’s view. You may even hear a neat slow-down effect on the music that is very “chilly” to let you know time is running out to come back to Selma.  Not only are they littered everywhere, but there’s also strategically placed ‘safe zones’ which are marked by a blue aura where the Wisp restores all of its energy that was lost previously.  ANNO: Mutationem Switch NSP
