很短的一个免费视觉小说游戏,一个小时左右就能玩完。 人物设定是一个患癌症的男主和一个有心脏隐患随时可能离开的女主,虽然听起来很老土的套路,但并没有什么太狗血的剧情。感情线写的很真实动人,不矫情也不做作。 而且女主的立绘画的真的真的很好看! 免费的还要啥自行车啊!
这里面有一个故事.......

还是很动人的,女主也很好看,剧情也还行
真的很难想象,男主女主在短短十天的时间里经历了一切,从反复救人到恋爱结婚到临床试验,之后简介里说的批判和探讨就是说男主996,男主母亲改嫁,以及男主听到隔壁床患者外放的小视频就突发奇想可以拯救女主,里面的角色做事也很随便,男主为了救女主能活三个月硬是十天把自己搞没了,医生也真是本事通天,从男主想要救女主那一刻起,三天时间一天配型一天申请一天手术,真是时间一点都不浪费,别人苦苦等七八年可能都没器官来源,男女主硬是天造地和一切都那么巧合顺利,怕不是男主加班猝死前的幻想
The "art" and character design is uninspired (in case of the children nightmare-inducing in an uncanny valley sort of way), the story is drawn out in a way that made me lose any interest in the things happening on screen and killed all the feelings a topic like this should evoke. The bare-bone controls that are there handle abysmally. The English translation read okay to me (a non-native speaker) with some mistakes/weird word choices. This could have been a short, emotionally hard-hitting visual novel but it definitely needed more time in the oven, so to speak. And at least someone competent enough in game/media design to raise the question if the character assets should switch that often if the viewpoint of those assets are slightly different in too many of them and be able to adjust the filter on the background photos to be a bit more uniform.
Игра "Countdown" – это захватывающая головоломка, требующая быстрого мышления и умения комбинировать числа. Механика проста: дан набор чисел и цель, и нужно, используя арифметические операции, достичь этой цели за ограниченное время. Сначала может показаться легким, но с повышением сложности задачи становятся настоящим испытанием для мозга. Что мне особенно понравилось – это универсальность. "Countdown" отлично подходит для коротких перерывов, давая возможность быстро размять мозги, и в то же время может увлечь на долгие часы, если хочется пройти все уровни. Интерфейс минималистичный и интуитивно понятный, что позволяет сразу же погрузиться в игровой процесс, не отвлекаясь на лишние детали. Единственное, чего немного не хватает – это, пожалуй, разнообразия в визуальном оформлении. Однако, учитывая, что основная ставка сделана на геймплей, это не является критичным недостатком. В целом, "Countdown" – это отличная игра для всех любителей математических головоломок, которая прекрасно тренирует ум и дарит приятное чувство решения сложных задач. Рекомендую!
Krásná 3 hodinová romantická novela, doporučuji I když příběh je krátký, konec bude opravdu procítěný a emocionální...
