About

Book Smugglers is a narrative point and click adventure based on a true, untold story. Set in 19th-century, you play as a member of the underground network of "knygnešiai" — book smugglers risking their lives to preserve a forbidden language under Tsarist rule.

Each mission requires careful planning. Strategically manage your limited supplies, such as food, money, books and other tools. What you carry will determine how you will be able to act. Choose wisely. You won’t be able to bring everything.

Experience the weight of your decisions, because even choosing the same option may bring very different results that can heavily influence your mission. Sometimes you will succeed. Sometimes you will fail. And sometimes, things will take an unexpected turn.

Interact with real figures from history, decode secret messages, and uncover stories hidden by censorship. The narrative is inspired by a resistance so unique, UNESCO recognizes it as world heritage.

Actualy fun game. Perfect if u need something to play in short bursts. You can do a mission in couple minutes. Gameplay is fun, feels like playing a solo board game. Many ways to deal with situation, you get acess to many tools. Some are better for same situation while others give you partial success.
Truly astonoshing part of history that this game imerses you in. Beautifully drawn scenes and interesting story with ear pleasing sounds and music. Hope to complete this game with all the achievements.
A simple and cozy game for your early spring evenings. In this game, based on historical facts you will manage your inventory while also trying to survive as a book smuggler duriing a chain of events. What started kinda easy became more harder at the later game.
Neat game about Lithuanian book smugglers. Mainly story focused, choose your own adventure type.
Very nice little game! Theme and setting is really interesting and unique. You get to know a lot about the history, think about the hard choices people trying to keep the language and culture alive had to face. Minigames are also fun and make things more varied.
クリア後レビューです。 19世紀のリトアニアを舞台に、ロシア帝国の出版禁止令の下で禁書を密輸して 結社の一員として活動する禁書密輸ゲーです。 [h1]- ゲーム性の特徴 -[/h1] 進行方向を選んで様々なイベントに対処していく選択肢型アドベンチャーゲームで、プレイ時間は2時間程度でクリアできます。 ゲームの中に密輸する禁書の数、体力のどちらかが0になるとゲームオーバーになります。 買い物でアイテムを準備したり、行動によって評判が変わったりと、リソース管理要素がありますが、 難易度は低めで、ゲームオーバーになっても拠点に戻されるだけなのでカジュアルなゲーム性です。 [h1]- 歴史的背景と世界観 -[/h1] 本作は19世紀リトアニアの実在の歴史的事件に基づいており、実際に禁書を密輸していた人々の一員として動いているという没入感があります。グラフィックスは洋ゲーのようなスタイルで、落ち着いた音楽と陰鬱な雰囲気が時代背景にマッチしており、ストーリーとしては歴史通りの満足のいく結末で終わります。 [h1]- 個人的な評価 -[/h1] 強み:禁書題材とリトアニアの歴史に基づいたゲームは少なく、この題材に興味がある人には非常に刺さる作品です。難易度も低く、ゲーム初心者にも優しい設計。 短所:オートセーブがないため、実績解除のためのやり直しが面倒です。また、ボリュームに対して定価2000円は割高感があります。※クリアだけなら2時間程度で終わってしまうので [h1]- 総評 -[/h1] 禁書題材やリトアニアの歴史に興味がある人にはおススメの作品です。 カジュアルに遊べるゲームとしては悪くなく、ストーリーも良いと思うのですが、 ボリュームと価格のバランスに悩んでいる方は、セール時の購入をオススメします。
[h1]前言[/h1] 一个特殊的时期,在沙俄入侵波兰、立陶宛后,不光是领土的入侵,文化上也要进行抹除,最常用的手段,就是禁止使用原本的文字、语言、以及书籍,而这款游戏《Book Smugglers》,就是以那个时期为背景的一款游戏,一个时代有一个时代的反抗方式,武力上无法保卫家园,那就只能努力保卫好自己的文化。 [h1]简介[/h1] 《Book Smugglers》是一款带有生存、爬塔要素的视觉小说游戏,游戏的玩法分为两个部分,在剧情推进的过程是使用的视觉小说的方式,而触发剧情则要在据点里接任务,将书籍从A点走私到B点,这个过程充满了危险,不光有层层的筛查,还有在路程中可能遇到的危险:生命值过低、事件或者是战斗。 [h1]玩法[/h1] 在玩完简单的教学关卡后,了解游戏的一些基本操作后,就回来到游戏的据点,在这里玩家可以职业,一共有三个职业,每个职业都有一个特殊的能力,还能在这里进行物资的补充,主要是各种吃的,当然这些需要花钱,还可以在工匠那买到各种道具,斧子、锤子、绳索,这些在走私的时候都大有益处,但是是要花钱的。最后就是接任务,金色的问号是主线,银色的问号是支线,接了任务后就会进入一个类似爬塔的地图,每前进到一个节点,都会有消耗不进行食物补充的话就扣血。除了爬塔的固定消耗外,还有事件,比较好的就是可以花钱买点东西吃或者到酒馆喝一杯,运气不好的话会遇到盘查,如果在职业选择处选择了离职官员,身上会有一个伪造的证件,可以在关键的时候保命。如果没有,则可以根据身上的道具进行别的选择,比如绕路等等。 [h1]体验[/h1] 当然走私的过程也并不是一路顺风的,常在河边走那有不湿鞋的,判定失败要么是书没了要么是血没了,失败后会掉声望,然后可以重新来过,在之后遇到什么贩子、农名、酒保或者是那些看着很危险的人,不要做过多的停留,不行就卖血走一些危险的节点路程。 [h1]总结[/h1] 总的来说,《Book Smugglers》讲述了一个反抗压迫的故事,为之后的传承保留下了火种。几个玩法都挺常见,但在放在这个特别的故事背景下还挺有意思,代入感满满。本地化做的挺好,一些带有明显俚语的地方也做优化,阅读起来可以明白潜在的意思,很不错,非常适合那些喜欢历史和小角色故事的玩家,能有不一样的游玩体验。 [quote]欢迎关注我们的鉴赏家:[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35402982/]走心评测[/url] ←遵从内心,写出真实感受 欢迎加入我们Steam组:[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ZXPC]走心评测[/url]←点击加入,一起探索游戏的乐趣 喜欢这篇评论,也麻烦点个赞,让更多人能够看到![/quote]
First of all, major respect for choosing such a unique theme. The story of the Lithuanian book smugglers isn’t widely known worldwide, and it’s genuinely awesome to see it explored in Book Smugglers. The game blends board game mechanics with visual novel elements and light item management in an interesting way. The soundtrack is immersive and really elevates the atmosphere. However, the storyline feels like it’s asking for more action - there are a few minigames, but I’d love to see more of them. It could also use a bit more time “in the oven”: the art direction isn’t fully cohesive, settings options are limited, and controller support is missing (which would be very welcome). Overall, a positive experience - a relaxed, non-demanding game that’s great for a calm evening.
Explore a part of Lithuanian history, where you need to make tough decisions. Ethics and morals vie with personal safety as you need to make the right choice to ensure your survival and the books you are smuggling. A fun little game with some simple mechanics where you can enjoy the storyline and narrative of the game.
it was very historicaly accurate
