Burden Street Station

Very short and sweet game, worth the money.

Yknow, I'm not entirely sure if this was meant to touch on and discuss the OCD behaviors of coping, checking and control in that order, but it sure resonates a lot. I really enjoyed my time with this game, though I feel it is a little expensive for the playtime (but indie devs need money, and I'd rather they be rewarded for their effort). I am a little saddened that at times, it's mostly an experience of throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, or even playing a puzzle game, rather than exploring the full versatility of the unique dialogue system. I'd love to see something like this with branching dialogue trees, but that'd be an insane amount of work! There's a lot of potential in these ideas that I feel could be explored in the future.

pretty solid game with a good story, great soundtrack, and amazing art

[h2]Observe These Lives[/h2] Burden Street Station was a short but sweet walk through the lives of (5) interconnected individuals, feeling more like a written story of the developers past more so than a fictional story, of life, death, love and loss. I liked it. But I would say that some features that were present in the demo version, seemed to not be improved upon at all since the full release, that, and the lack of length means it's roughly about a 2 and a half hour game, of you stumbling over those few mechanics that really have no right to be in the game in the first place, as it pads out time, without adding any depth. [h2]Issues[/h2] The candle burn out mechanic is still here, just slightly altered, now it tells you exactly what you need to click on to progress, which is very, very, helpful once you've reached the final sections, where you've accumulated a ton of different emotional faces, bodies and legs to respond with, all of which offer the same repeaing question after a sudden "Uh... what did you just say?" or "Bold choice of conversational words" kind of reponse from most of the characters, multiple times with multiple prompts. It's as I said, artifical padding to make the game longer, which isn't fun because the future locations are kind of labrathyn in their emptiness, making it boring to have nobody to interact with, until you meet the main cast again to get back to messing up until insight is available. Despite this. I still enjoyed the story, but less so, knowing it was more or less a 1 hour game with an extra hour of pointless features that didn't offer anything of note, not even further information of each character to get to know them better. A shame. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] Even if the game feels padded, its story is truly special and worth supporting. The writing is so emotionally charged that you’ll want to spend more time with these characters and understand them on a deeper level, which we unfortunately do not get. Their designs reflect their desires beautifully, like Lydia, whose connection to her guitar is a metaphor for amplifying her own voice as her tail jacks right in, both in music and in expressing herself. It’s simply lovely and shows real care from the developers.
