When you start up for the first time, 'End User License Agreement (EULA)' is displayed first, so select 'I agree'.
The menu screen looks something like this. This time, select 'STORY'.
It begins with a shocking monologue, 'I woke up one morning and I was a dog.' The Shiba Inu shining white on the screen.
A voice that says, 'Let's give you a mission.'
Suddenly a door of light appeared and a large crowd filed in.
The player's mission as a shining Shiba Inu is to guide the crowd to the designated location. Looking at the following movie, you can understand in one shot what kind of system game 'HUMANITY' is.
By holding down the □ button and tilting the analog stick at any location, you can place an icon that instructs you to walk in the specified direction.
Crowds will turn in the specified direction when passing over that icon. The goal is the square surrounded by white on the stage.
Humans who reach the goal are sucked into the pillar of light and ascend to the heavens.
When a certain number of people are sucked into the pillar of light, the stage is cleared.
The crowd are humans who have lost their will and purpose, so they just keep walking unless instructed by the Shiba Inu. Even if it falls from a high place, it will walk straight ahead, and if nothing happens, it will just fall into the abyss, so the Shiba Inu has to get ahead and secure the route.
Also, if you hit a wall, you won't climb the wall. Therefore, if it is left as it is, people will accumulate more and more on the wall as follows.
I thought, ``Isn't it supposed to be clear with this?'', and when I moved the camera around, I found a wall with diagonal lines in a place where I couldn't see it from the first camera position. About the wall with this diagonal line, humans can also climb.
Therefore, when you exit the door, guide it in the direction of the diagonally lined wall.
Climbing the wall and going through the hole is a whole body golden person called 'GOLDY'.
When this GOLDY comes in contact with humans, it will start walking side by side with the crowd.
When GOLDY also reaches the goal, it disappears into a pillar of light.
Getting GOLDY to the goal is not a requirement to clear the stage, but if you lead GOLDY in each stage to the goal, benefits will be released according to the number of times you do so.
The benefits include a little thing that changes the appearance of humans, and a function that is too convenient for solving the mystery of 'stopping time while playing', so if possible, I would like to lead GOLDY to the goal.
The crowd will not stop walking while solving the mystery, so if you fall from a height of 3 squares or higher, it will turn into light and disappear. At the beginning of the game, I was sad because I was slow to solve the mystery, and many people's lives were sacrificed. ``Even if the body disappears, the soul is unchanged, so there is no need to worry about it.'' It's strange when you say that, I won't drop a single person from the stage at first! It suddenly became easier to be nervous, and instead I asked the crowd in my mind, 'Please get off the stage for a while while I solve the mystery.'
As the stage progresses, the types of commands the Shiba Inu can give will increase. The number of times you can give instructions is not limited, so you can set up as many icons as you want.
Also, the stage gimmicks are getting more and more complicated. There are not only walls you can climb, but also blocks of water that crowds can swim in.
Also, in the following stages, there is a humanoid panel at the highest place. When the crowd steps on this panel, its weight activates the panel, which activates the stage gimmick.
This time, it was a gimmick that opened a hole on the side so that it could pass through.
In this stage, the Shiba Inu is given instructions to jump on the crowd. We also think about how many squares it will jump up and how many squares it will land after stepping on a jump square, and secure a solid route.
In the following stages, carry the line to the goal and clear it! I thought, but the scene where the stage clear was not displayed no matter how long I waited.
why isn't it clear? When I moved the camera around, I realized that there were actually two goals.
If you take a closer look, you will also notice that there was actually another door of light through which the humans came out.
Induce the crowd coming out of another door and clear the stage. The gimmick becomes complicated, and the three-dimensional structure of the stage can often not be grasped at first glance, so it is important to first turn the camera around and observe the entire stage.
The stages get harder and harder, but even if you can't solve them, there are official hints in the form of videos. The following movie is a summary of how I actually got lost and finally cleared the stage by looking at the hints. Since the content of the hint video is almost the same as the answer rather than the hint, it is only a last resort, and it is good to rely on it only when you do not understand no matter how much you think about it.

As you clear the stages, the chapters of the game will progress, and the secret of 'why the player must become a Shiba Inu and guide the humans' will be revealed. If you are interested in this mystery, please try playing by yourself.
'HUMANITY' is a puzzle action game made on a very surreal world view, but when I actually played it, I felt that it was quite boney. You can't clear it even if you bark blindly and guide you, and you need to think carefully one by one, such as 'the goal is here, GOLDY is here, so this kind of route is necessary ...'. I have. Also, there are many situations where it is necessary to ``change the instruction once placed at the right time'', so it is important not only to think and place the icon, but to read ahead and respond appropriately according to the situation. . Therefore, the difficulty is never low, and there is enough response.
The number of stages is more than 90, and the volume is considerable. The operation is very simple, so even people who are not familiar with the game can play. The sound effects and controls of the game are pleasant, and the BGM that plays during the game is ambient music that calms you down.
``HUMANITY'' will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam) on Tuesday, May 16, 2023. The price is 3410 yen including tax. In addition, 'HUMANITY' also supports VR and can be played on PlayStation VR2 , PlayStation VR , and PC VR.
