This is what big apple doesn't want you to know

Realmente nunca jugué en mi vida algo así. Ya sólo por eso es recomendable pero además es un juego cargado de encanto. Super recomendado. Que alguien le consiga un psiquiatra a manzanito.

[h1]A Lynchian trip, alright. [/h1] [h3]It can best be described as a [i]point-and-click[/i], [i]apple-billiard[/i] adventure.[/h3] Gameplay is, overall, as simple as it is effective. Mechanically relaxed exploration with a few combat ([i]apple-billiard[/i]) sections that keep things entertaining, and helps with the pacing of the story. Said combat happens in two phases: while the first allows you to get comfy with each boss, the second adds a twist specific to each one. If you are like me, you'll be happy to know that this game is [i]a firm believer in Chekhov's Gun.[/i] One caveat: I never fully figured out combos or damage output. Oddly, this felt fitting. Disorientation is kind of the point. You are, after all, trying to figure out what's going on in this conurbano Innsmouth where [b]apple is the new fish[/b]. [h3]Now, the best part is the atmosphere.[/h3] The backgrounds alone do a ton of heavy lifting in this regard. The surreal aesthetic hits like [i]PS1 survival horror[/i]: not in look, but in feeling. That specific uneasiness where it felt safer to play during daylight. And yet there's a lightheartedness to it all that keeps it from ever feeling oppressive. [hr][/hr] [h2]So how do you like them apples?[/h2] Strongly Recommended, especially if you're into weird, eerie point-and-clicks.

So amidst a few other things, this one's about facial apple targets and waxy coating. And it's good.
