This adaption of the popular Saw film series is a third-person survival horror video game with action elements. The creators of the first Saw film were brought in to write a new storyline and design new traps for the game. The Jigsaw Killer has healed Detective David Tapp from his gunshot wound, and places him in an abandoned asylum to teach him a lesson of life appreciation. Tapp traverses the building gathering clues along the way in hopes of finally apprehending Jigsaw. He encounters both friends and foes as he comes closer to escaping the asylum and its inhabitants who have plans contrary to his survival. Along the way, Tapp uncovers the origins of Jigsaw and his motives behind his tests, as well as learning the fates of those from the first Saw film. The player controls David Tapp, a former detective trapped in the Jigsaw Killer's asylum filled with traps. The primary goal of the game is to traverse the asylum and solve traps in order to escape alive. Tapp will have several abilities in the game to fulfill his objectives such as searching things like toilets or dead bodies to find things like weapons, health, or clues. There are also various things hidden around the asylum that can be found to provide background on why Tapp is there and other information on Jigsaw and others. Many of these come in the form of "Jigsaw Notes" left behind or cassette tapes found laying around. The game's combat system allows the character to block, counter-attack, and perform weak or strong attacks to fend off enemies in the asylum. Also, Tapp is able to curb-stomp injured enemies or activate their trap if they have one. Tapp will have over eighteen different weapons, varying from lead pipes to mop handles available to him throughout the game. In addition to standard weapons, Tapp may recover firearms or explosives along the way. Certain weapons may also be used for other purposes such as cutting open a body to search it or breaking down a molding wall to reveal hidden paths. |
