A Traveler to unknown Thule

A Traveler to unknown Thule is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is a cringey dating CYOA e-book the author wrote about his imaginary girlfriend. It doesn't get any cringier... or creepier than this. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you wanted to read the next sentence, instead of just turning the pages. You'd think it was garbage. Now imagine that experience, but with much worse writing (because if these guys could write professionally, they'd be published authors and this would be on shelves in bookstores, and they wouldn't have to pay Valve $100 to self-publish this on Steam), and you have your average Steam e-book. One of the chief problems with failed authors polluting Steam with non-game E-books is that E-books can easily just be presented in a web browser... there's no justification for charging money on Steam for what might as well be a webpage. We don't spend thousands on buying a gaming rig to spend money on Steam for something Chrome or Firefox could do. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the e-book peaked at only 6 concurrent readers... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. The funny thing is, if you wanted to print this book, you'd only need to print 6 copies to satsify the entire world's demand for it. While this E-book is "free", you can get better quality, professionally written books and comics for free online (from places like Project Gutenberg) or from public libraries. Steam isn't a comic book store, neither is it Netflix, it's for games. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. It's impossible for me to recommend things to PC gamers that aren't really games.

约尔你带我走吧约尔😭😭

我去冰岛的话，也会有漂亮姐姐带着我一起逛吗（

夜7時にこのゲームを起動した。最初はただの気晴らしだったのだが、気づけば午前2時までプレイしてしまい、クリアしてしまった……。これは本当に素晴らしいゲームだ。ストーリーは感動的だが、プレイ中に主人公の場違いな発言が時折気まずさを感じさせ、物語の世界観から引き離されてしまうこともあった。また、結末もやや無理がある感じで、強引なハッピーエンドといった類のものだ。評価を求められれば、これは細部まで丁寧に磨き上げられていないものの、素晴らしい物語だと言える。このゲームが与えてくれた感動は、私の心に深く刻まれている。

冰岛游记，真好啊。

非常难忘的冰岛之旅，一开始被冰岛民俗奇幻+自驾游旅行的元素吸引，玩完之后真的没有让我失望，真的是一部相当优秀的作品 耶鲁节快乐!
