Concrete Genie Review – Paint the Town Red (and a Few Other Colors)
Imagine if your best friends lived on the pages of a sketchbook or the walls of an abandoned coastal town. Imagine drawing your brush across a surface, and not just bringing the image into existence, but actually bringing it to life. Imagine being able to quite literally push back darkness and negativity with light, positivity, and friendship. Concrete Genie is all of those things and more packed into a game that initially feels small, yet bursts at the seams with a mountain of heart and themes, both obvious and subtle.
Ash is a bullied boy forced to leave his childhood home of Denska when an oil spill destroys the local economy. He yearns for the days when the docks and streets were filled with life, and he returns to those empty alleys to spend time alone with his sketchbook. Ash isn?t alone though. A group of local bullies uses the forsaken town as a playground, free from the watchful eye of parents and authorities. Ash?s solitude is broken when the bullies find him, assaulting him both verbally and physically, and then ripping his notebook pages out and scattering them to the winds. Finally they shove him in a tram car to the lighthouse, leaving Ash to fend for himself at the spooky and supposedly haunted beacon of the town.
