Creatures Such as We

You sort of get 2 games out of this one - The game within a game and your "real" counterpart who is a tour guide for the moon. I like that in the end you get to see the different alternatives that could have happened. In both games. If you love choice of games, this shouldn't be any different unless you really hate the more realistic setting compared to some of their other stuff. I got this mainly because I saw no reviews for it, and I love almost all choice of games things, so I picked it up to review it. If you are new to this publisher I recommend the Heroes trilogy or choice of robots one for your first games, but this isn't bad.

I already wrote a really long review, but i fcked up and it got deleted, so now i dont want to write it again. So here's the short version: Abselutely amazing game, you feel with your character, there's some awesome love stuff in it. Get the game. Diana is best waifu

This game is absolutely beautiful. One of the best CyoA games out there <3 The choices, the customization of your character, the game within the game, UGH I'm in awe. Unlike most CyoA games Creatures doesn't have stats, which is such a relief honestly. I feel like I can make my own choices and not do it for a stat boost. A must play if you like text based games! 10/10 would work on the moon again

So I really really [i]really[/i] liked this game! Compared to other choice of games, I felt that this one was more realistic and down to earth (down to moon maybe?). I’m not saying that more fantastical scenarios are bad - I just found it refreshing. The story was exciting and kept me at the edge of my seat at times; I even cried! The main characters voice was really well done, and it was easy to relate to them and put yourself in their shoes. Loved that cis man/woman wasn't the only choices either! The supporting characters and love interests were really well characterized aswell, and I didn’t feel like any of them fell flat. Really enjoyed the romance too, the one I did (Andres) was really sweet. Looking forward to do more playthroughs to see how all of the other characters are! I enjoyed how meta the game was, and the game-within-a-game aspect of it. The different philosophical conversations about games you have with the characters are really fun too. I can only highly recommend this game! : )

I believe this has been falsely advertised on the store page as "escapism inside escapism". "What a clever idea!" I told myself as I pushed the Buy button... Instead what I got was a stressful, exhausting day job simulator herding & babysitting dreadfully boring tourists I couldn't care less about. While the "game inside game" part only took up about 1/8 of the whole experience and turned out to be dreadfully boring as well. Not recommended.

Creatures Such as We tells a beautiful story about life. While being extremely relatable because it's about gaming and yet very exotic since it takes place on a Lunar base. I love how it displays that some things simply cannot be changed no matter how hard you try and how the characters deal with that fact. That's realism for you. [spoiler]I thought the happy ending felt a little artificial, but I respect that some people might like that more.[/spoiler] I very much enjoyed the spacy environment and the interesting plot. The style of writing felt natural and easy to read even for a non-native speaker. Do not hesitate to get this if you like game books!

I never write reveiws. This is the first reveiw I've ever written for a game, and I hope that shows how amazing this game is. After becoming obsessed with Choice of Robots, I was craving another text based game, as I had never gotten into the genre. Let me just say, this game is a beautiful journey, with great characters, player customization, and choice. Without getting into the spoiler zone, this game starts many diologues on how players tend to squeze every bit of content from a game, never satisfied with an end. This hit very close to home for me, and it was welcome commentary. If you enjoy text-based games or have never really known about them like myself, you owe it to yourself to become a part of this story.

First I would like to thank the author for creating this. A bit over a year ago, I was doing another game review, and stated something along the lines of, "This is not the "Game" I wanted, but it is the "Game" I should have expected. I then proceeded to lay into the makers of said game for what i considered (and many others also considered) to be the faults with the direction the creators had chosen to go, and the unanswered expectectations of myself and other gamers who had been following their works. I gave that game a grudging thumbs up, because while I felt (and still feel) that not only had my expectations not been met, but that they actually had been considered and then tossed right out the window in favor of another audiance, the creators of said game had done two things. 1. pretty flawlessly executed their new direction in a perfectly exceptable game for anyone not living under the expectations that I and Others had of what the game should have been. 2. Gave me and all the others who were sure to be dissapointed the tool necessary to fix / alter any and all of the game content to suit our needs/desires. As of today there is a literal ton of content for that Game, and yet none of it ever really seems to satisfy. And I think this little text based game has finally helped me see the reason why. Curious as to what that answer might be? Play this game and see if you dont find it for yourself.

While I had trouble getting into this in the very beginning, it was just confusion. Once I understood what was going on... wow. That story was amazing. I now see exactly why people loved this so much. The ending was great. I loved dealing with the characters as well. I'm giving this a 10/10.

I loved this very much! it was totally worth it in my opinion ^ ^
