I really wanted to like the game but I should've played the demo first. The problem? well... I was looking for a surreal game but I found this too infantile and experimental. Pros +The dialogue is smart in the way of butchering the English language to levels that were unknown to me. Educational in that regard! +Princes Dam shows some leg (but you already can see that) Cons -You, you have never played such a repetitive "Visual novel" before. It seems to be part of the design but they pushed it to the very limit. -You are here for the quirky/creative/funky elements right? Well, that made me buy the game but it got dull quickly somehow -The victory theme is cute at first but atrocious after a while. -As other reviews say, I also don't have any idea what this game is trying to tell I refunded, not for me. For adults? nah. For kids? maybe. For people with a great sense of quirkiness and looking for something absolutely different? Oh yeah.
One of my favorite game of all times Absolute peak dialogues, insanely good writing All characters grow into your heart (whether you like it or not) Story made me laugh and cry at all times All in all i would say this game is definitly... ...Elf-ok
Humor absurdo como la base de todo. En su historia que parece no ir a ninguna parte, el compañero deslenguado, las elecciones inútiles, sistema de combate reducido al mínimo, los personajes plasticosos, banda sonora machacona, misiones secundarias y coleccionables que están por estar… Algo que consigue gracias a unos textos en español que otorgan el nivel de cachondeo necesario pero con muchísimos dejes latinos. Eso sí, la estructura repetitiva provoca que se vuelva previsible y a la larga se haga más pesado avanzar.
i had a fever dream like this once
Peak fiction
Life changing. Depression curing. Opioid overdose reversing. Marriage saving. Debt paying. This game is all but 5 of those.
I work at nights and for 4 days, after midnight, with a large package of chips and soda, this game saved my head from burning. Totally absurd, creative, easy-going, dialogue following game. Art is spectacular, conversations are fun. Recommended.
El arte me pareció interesante, como que hay buenas ideas y es diferente. La música también, acompaña, ayuda. Pero después, el gameplay es lo más aburrido que jugué en mucho tiempo. Es como un juego de esos "educativos" de los 90s que clickeabas en cosas y hacían acciones, pero nada más. Hay como una "dificultad" que tenés que elegir con qué atacar al video que te muestran... Pero es un embole jodido... 5hs de una historia falopa, aunque con buena estética. Realmente traté de darle una oportunidad, pero por problemas de cloud saves entre la deck y steam, perdí un savegame a la hora y media... Y dije "No voy a gastar una hora y media más de tedio solamente para ver qué pasa, prefiero ver un gameplay" Vas a Youtube, hay UN solo video de alguien que lo jugó hasta el final. Y el final es la misma falopa de clickear en cosas. La verdad, ni gasten su tiempo. Espero poder refundearlo. Tedioso, lento, una historia muy naba. Hermoso arte y música igual. Evitenlo
Cuatro palabras. G O T Y
The music and visuals were awesome, but the game kept crashing on my steamdeck and the dialog wasn't interesting enough for me to keep going.
