Clam Man 2: Open Mic

Игра 'Clam Man 2: Open Mic' – это абсурдное, сюрреалистическое приключение, которое держит в напряжении от начала и до конца. Юмор здесь специфический, но если вам нравится циничный и самоироничный тон, то вы оцените эту игру по достоинству. Геймплейно это довольно простая point-and-click адвенчура, где нужно решать головоломки и взаимодействовать с причудливыми персонажами. Сами головоломки не всегда логичны, но их решение часто вознаграждает смешными моментами. Главный герой, Clam Man, вновь сталкивается с экзистенциальными проблемами и пытается найти свое место в жизни (а точнее, в морском дне). Диалоги остроумные, а мир игры наполнен странными и запоминающимися локациями. Визуальный стиль игры простой, но запоминающийся. Музыкальное сопровождение отлично дополняет атмосферу абсурда. В целом, 'Clam Man 2: Open Mic' – это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет что-то необычное и юмористическое. Игра не для всех, но если вы готовы принять ее странность, она вас точно не разочарует. Это забавная, короткая, но запоминающаяся инди-жемчужина.

interesting game! the characters all feel pretty solid so far and it's fun to find a weird little sidequest like negotiations between food in your fridge. the game did almost crash twice (during loading scenes between different areas/cuts) but didn't actually crash in the end.

This game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rocks!! I only hope we'll have a chance to level up our stats in the full release, so we can tailor what "voices" we want speaking more often. Also more UI noises--when you mouse over dialogue options, choose them, when a new line of text appears, etc. But god, the writing is amazing. I'm so hype.

Wow I haven't been this excited for an upcoming game in a while. My only suggestions for the developers are running and zooming the camera out to make it a little easier to see. Otherwise I would be completely satisfied by more of the same.

great writing, can't wait for the full game

This demo shows so much promise, I cannot wait for the game's release. Every element of this expands and evolves from the original Clam Man game, with no need to be familiar with the original material. Charming characters and a great first step into a story about finding yourself and your way in a chaotically funny but overall warm and sweet world. I await the release of this greatly, so much love has gone into these characters, and the writing is stellar in every square of this expanding world. I cannot wait to see how decisions will progress and options expand as days roll over and events transpire. The MMES scale is real and I feel seen.

DUDEEEEEE CLAM MAN 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's such a sweet little game and I'm fond of all the interactions between the characters. Hell yeah clam man

Good bones for a short demo-like play. Interested to see where it goes. Would play more days, but probably wouldn't replay day 1. I'll toss in my 2 cents for the Devs- [spoiler] Start : make everything go slightly faster- like walking speed, dialogue branching, and dice rolling. use color-coding or additional visual identifiers to clarify which dialogue choices are low/high probability vs. just playful jesting. Sometimes, I wasn't exactly sure what the conversation was trying to achieve. I like the interactive set, but at times I wasn't sure what I was looking for and would've appreciated a visual toggle for 'interactive' elements (outline, glimmer, etc). Keep : social commentary- like work burnout, bitter neighbors, jaded employees, playful kids, questioning gender norms/bias, estranged families, economic hardship, awkwardly talking to strangers, etc. I enjoyed that the main character isn't good at everything- the min/max suggestion during character creation paired with the typical conversation cues made them feel suitably average and relatable. I could see how different player types could enjoy differing personalities, too. Yield : the evil car 'bit' was odd, as was 'dying'. I didn't replay those options, but wonder if avoiding the accident was ever an option- if not, all the more a markedly strange scene that didn't seem to add to the jokes or the gaming experience, other than to level set "this is a weird game". The fetch-quest energy was a tad annoying, because you often had to beep-bop between several destinations to achieve simple tasks. While this makes sense for dialogue-ownership (click this NPC to open their dialogue), at times it just felt like busy work. Collecting the joke material takes a lot of steps, so when it came to executing the jokes on stage, I was disappointed to see it boil down to 1 roll, followed by click-through railroad delivery prompts. While I appreciate the social moments, I felt that delivering the actual jokes needed to feel a bit more interactive, dynamic, or personal. It's kind of strange to get up on stage and not know what your joke prompt actually means; which could lead to incongruence between player vs. PC's actions. Perhaps y'all could make it so the joke-achieving event makes the material available in the repertoire, but the stage delivery is where you actually click through variations of delivery/arch? [/spoiler] Fun to see passion projects, especially with interesting worlds and a playful sense of humor. Showcased different ranges of deadpan, absurdism, self-deprecating, observational, and expressive humor.
