I thought very early on “All of this could be avoided if we gave Simone a gun.” And then she got a gun. And the story resolved itself promptly after that. 10/10 no notes
Overall unique, and interesting. I enjoyed the journey, and the characters kept me interested to make it to the end. That said, there are definitely a lot of odd choices. I feel like this was written for game theory, only for him to retire halfway through development. A lot of weird little side things. For instance, the random website links to an explanation on how cyphers work, and I am beginning to think the random text moments aren’t so random. Not for me to crack though, I will read the inevitable wiki later. I hope it does well, would love to see what this studio does when they have an actual budget.
This is such a well thought out point-and-click murder mystery - you can tell how much effort and love went into the game. I've only played through the first chapters and I can't believe how much more is ahead of me - it's long and there's lots to explore! Great storyline, and cool use of actors in the graphics - it adds dimension to the sometimes simple point and click games. However there are a few formatting issues, and the Mac version still needs some cleaning up. Bonus: you get to pet a dog named Buck as much as you want :)
While I am unfamiliar with the setting this game takes place in, the added element of the supernatural adds on an unexpected twist. I feel like this game is a theatre kid's passion project come true. Anyway- super excited to keep playing past the first chapter!
Spoiler warning: . . . . . . . . So wait, is the message of a Victorian mystery that AI is bad? Overall an interesting game, if quarky. Best description is if Doki Doki literature club stooped pretending to be a dating sim, and read actual literature.
One of the benefits of using glitchy stuff for your magic system: Is that a bug or a feature? Yes It does make it a bit muddy as to what is intentional and what isn’t, but there is enough good here to forgive some of the stranger elements
