Terminal 7 is very much a game that took a simple joke and turned it into an entire experience. It adds a whole new layer to the game, and the experience becomes even better for it. This is very much a reward for exploration and is an excellent incentive to keep playing and exploring. Some of the secrets are lore related, like a picture in Luigi's room that prompts the line "Mario says this is a picture of me, but I don't believe him," while others are silly things one can find like a pizza room where the pizza delivery song from the game Spider-Man 2 plays. Luigi can explore areas like the city or the pier, and sometimes, like in his apartment, he'll actually give feedback and provide more to the game's story. These small touches enhance the experience and give even more incentive to be thorough when playing.Įxploration in this game leads to secrets. Terminal 7 has about 9 levels to go through, and they've got some amount of exploration, just like Half-Life. RELATED: Darkest Dungeon: How to Survive the Crimson CourtĪnother big draw is that even though this is a fan-made mod, there a surprising amount of game here. Experiencing it in-game is mind-blowing, with music forming a significant part of the game's atmosphere, helping to really pull in the player.
In a game like this, tracks like Darkest Dungeon's "Cove Battle" or Crush's "Funfair 03 (B)" really help set the mood and tone.
The music also helps a lot here, using songs from varying games that all feel dark or sullen. The game is a dark thriller tackling a hard subject, and though some parts get silly, the overall experience is very well put together. When Luigi gets on a train in one level, it suddenly transforms into a brightly colored platforming challenge across blocks, showing us what's going on very clearly. The Koopas may just be officers trying to recapture an escaped Luigi, who is trying to go back to the Mushroom Kingdom and find Mario. What the player sees on-screen when playing may not be what's actually happening, and the story helps that idea as it goes on. The name references the plot impetus for the visuals: Luigi has terminal brain cancer, resulting in vivid hallucinations. Terminal 7 itself is meant to mess with your mind.
