A Conversation With A Magical Deer

Alright. [i]A Conversation With A Magical Deer[/i] is done and dusted. Right off the top, I'll note that it takes about seven minutes to complete the game. And the premise is super simple: you are standing in front of a magical deer at a park. You want to talk to it, but it has no interest in having a conversation with you. So, you just keep badgering it until it gives you more than a perfunctory response, lol. The graphics and music are nice cartoony stuff, and everything in the background such as a husky patrolling the street, have their own limited set of repeated animations. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3413912970 But what this game and specifically you the protagonist actually reminds me of is a song by MC 900 Ft. Jesus called "The Killer Inside Me": [code]You've probably seen me hanging around I'm a very familiar face in this town A day doesn't go by that I don't meet A lot of my friends walking down the street I'm never too busy to stop by the way And I've always got something pleasant to say Maybe some perceptive thoughts about the weather Or the latest news from Wall Street, whatever I could stand around all day making small talk Gushing platitudes, blocking the sidewalk Tying people up for hours with ease My one big talent is shooting the breeze When they start to squirm, I really get going But only my happy-face smile is showing Why can't they see what I'm trying to hide I'm bustin' a gut, laughing on the inside It's in their smile when they say hello I can see they think I'm a little bit slow But after a while with me, they look dazed Their eyes covered with a donut glaze I really start to cook when I see that look I hit 'em with every cliche in the book Their knees wobble and they start to weave It's like they're begging for permission to leave They think they are having a brush with stupidity I don't laugh, even though it's killing me Watching them wilt like day old flowers Ticking off the minutes as they turn to hours They are wondering how much more they can take I give 'em a friendly smile and a handshake We say goodbye very politely Now say hello to the killer inside me Everybody has their doubts about my sanity But nothing happens 'cause they all feel sorry for me I've got the whole town under my thumb And all I've gotta do is keep acting dumb "Oh that boy Lou" they say "what a guy A little on the slow side but wouldn't hurt a fly "And such a gentleman" "Oh yes I know, he sure can talk your ear off though" I tip my hat and pretend I don't hear Grinning like a half wit from ear to ear I can think of a thousand ways to say hello So I start through 'em all, and go real slow They listen hard, and act like they care How can they be so completely unaware Of the truth the answer is always denied me So I introduce them to the killer inside me[/code] [b]Anyway, I thought I'd give this game a look since it had been sitting in our IndieGems Curator queue for a while with a developer note that basically read as follows:[/b] [code]This is probably the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game you'll ever play.[/code] Not verbatim, but close enough. Which, I've definitely seen and played worse, so that was a lie, lol. Should you pay 99 cents for this? Probably not. That said, it did get a couple chuckles out of me and is a completely lighthearted and casual experience. I think there is some value in that. So, YMMV I guess. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3413912943 [code]If you found this review helpful and would be interested in supporting my Curator group, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32549618/]Robilar's Reviews[/url], it would be appreciated.
