Cyberside Picnic

A simple game about the fact that you solve games one after another to find out the hidden truth

If you like to work late at the computer, as the hero of this game, you may be contacted by an artificial intelligence and ask you to fulfill a strange request. Here we will have to test our programming skills and our ability to communicate with the machine mind.

O jogo é maravilhoso, comecei a jogar sem grandes expectativas e me surpreendi. São pequenas histórias em texto em que você vai fazendo escolhas e no final é apresentado a um minigame para a conclusão do capítulo, são 8 capítulos. Excelente para quem quer uma imersão sem muita complicação. Recomendo demais.

An unusual little art game, pairing eight minigames of varying quality and comprehensibility with eight parts of an interactive narrative. The minigames kinda suck to play, but they're thematically related to the narrative and not bad enough to ruin the experience (except the bird one, the bird one is long and sucks ass)

Cyberside Picnic is barely a game, it's more of an interactive an art exhibition that's been dumped on Steam, presumably because the local art galleries took out a restraining order on the "artists" who had no other choice but to pay Valve $100 to dump this on Steam. There's a small set of 8 badly made minigames with an arching story about trying to find the past or some rubbish... let's face it this is just pointless shovelware, the developer paying for fake reviews tells us all we need to know about this trash. It doesn't even work properly, after the first minigame (a crap CYOA text adventure), there's a Flappy Bird ripoff (zero originality from this "developer"), and that stalls at the launch screen as it stops accepting some keyboard inputs. Well, the people who wrote the fake reviews didn't mention that, did they? From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's an ugly screen filter meant to make the game look even more obsolete... like the game looks bad enough already, but they actually went out of their way to make it look worse. There's no way to turn this off. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio. It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.

They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. [b][quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote][/b]Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game. Cyberside Picnic is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend.

way more art than a game , but if that doesn't bother you , it might be an interesting ride

Простенькая казуалочка в которую залипнуть на время можно. Весьма разнообразная и графика достаточно симпатичная.

Cool game, really addictive. Didn't expect it but I really liked the game, this game is different from other games. Thanks to the developers for their efforts!

XUnity.AutoTranslator-ReiPatcherで日本語に自動翻訳が可能。OverrideFontTextMeshPro=　と　FallbackFontTextMeshPro=　の両方にフォント記入が必要（自分は両方arialuni_sdf_u2018にしている）。 ミニゲームが8本入っていてミニゲームの前にテキストアドベンチャーの様な物語らしき物も一応あるが機械翻訳のせいもあって意味不明。ミニゲームは自由に選べるわけではなく順番にゲームをクリアしないといけない模様。定価120円にしては内容が多めなので一応青評価にしておくが、あまり面白いとは思えず積極的におすすめは出来ない。最初の鳥ゲームをやる限りでは、「非常に好評」は過大評価に思えるが先に進むと何か良い事があるのだろうか。
