☑ 好玩又有深度 □ 无深刻意义纯体验 这个游戏说实话，让我陷入深深的抑郁。 命运先生说得对啊。 首先从游玩上来说，这游戏很像上班，很重复，没什么意思。包括你去酒吧认识新的人，那些人其实也没什么意思。 这个游戏让我印象最深的，还是最后剩下的两天时间内，命运先生和主角的对话，以及他对于人类的毫不留情。 命运先生是可以修改这个结局的，但是他并不想修改这个结局。 他累了。 可能命运先生敏锐地察觉到，人类是天生会走向熵增的，无论如何。 所以他让主角做了一个这样的安排。 以及他察觉到了，人类其实是无意义的。 所以说，他让主角做了一个安排，就是消灭人类，你知道吗？ 你可以在不违反命运先生条件的情况下去毁灭人类，这个是完全可以的。 你可以不用打破规则。 这是个很有意思的事情。 我觉得，总而言之，人类一直在无意义的事情上走太久了。 人类这一物种可能一直把自己视作是一种有益的生物，但是人类对于命运来说，对于时间来说，就是 Nothing，就是一无所有，就不算什么。 我想，如果我作为那种至高存在，我也不会在乎人类。 就让一切结束就好。 命运先生最后的反问特别有意思，就冲着最后两段，命运先生和主角的对话，这个游戏就在我这里升级到了拥有着哲学内涵的高级游戏。当命运先生察觉到，其实很多人死了就死了，他从来在世界就没有活着的情况下，他就想结束一切了。 [b]欢迎订阅我的个人中英双语游戏鉴赏：[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/46240801/]A well-designed game with a deep, engaging story. 有剧情深度的，设计优秀的游戏评测[/url][/b]
Ich mag das Spiel sehr, ist ein netter Zeitvertreib, wobei ich empfehlen würde es im Sale zu kaufen. Die Dialoge und die Story fand ich ok für so ein kurzes Spiel. Ich weiß nicht wieso hier so viele Negative Kommentare sind. Es steht ganz klar dran um was es geht und was man bekommt, wenn man lesen kann hat man auch keine Probleme. Wird aber wohl immer seltener da die Leute durch Tik Tok und Co. einfach eine kurze Aufmerksamkeitsspanne haben und sich auf nichts mehr einlassen können. Schade. Das Spiel ist jedenfalls sehr gut wenn man etwas Zeit totschlagen möchte ;-)

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Very interesting game. I am having a lot of fun trying to get all the different endings but I don't think I will be playing the game much more after getting all the endings. The gameplay is very simple but the game doesn't feel overly repetitive since you can go trough the 30 day cycle relatively quickly.
死神办公模拟游戏，审阅普通人档案，裁决生死，抉择影响世界走向，极简黑白美术风格。 核心魅力在于道德拷问：好人未必带来好结果，处死恶人、拯救善人都可能引发连锁灾难。 多条截然不同结局，世界毁灭、秩序维稳、推翻命运等路线，鼓励多周目尝试不同选择。 流程如同社畜上班，日复一日审阅卷宗，氛围压抑，精准复刻重复文职工作的倦怠感。 人物档案描述偏单薄，很难对每个生命产生足够情感重量，代入感上限不高。 多周目重复内容多，大量相同卷宗反复出现，重复游玩枯燥。
内容很现实 三周目之后如果是为了打成就的话有点无聊
Игра зачет. Сидишь себе, тыкаешь на листочки, читаешь резюме и в принципе пытаешься не угробить мир. А, и возможно ты - тыква.
没有存档机制导致要打出全成就的话体验特别拖沓......希望改进一下我冲击全成就玩到后期真的很崩溃。
