Discrepant

Very nice game however its very glitchy, like the glitch where your stamina wont regenerate, or the frequent lag spikes i hope the devs patch it because i love this game.

I gave up on it after multiple attempts. Crashing while pausing, stamina not replenishing...it just isn't for me. I have a newborn in the house...if I cannot pause a game without it crashing it is unplayable for me. There may be something here worth playing in the future...but it needs a LOT more testing and fixes. Also...why does this game want access to bypass my firewall? That is a bit weird to me...

It's promising, above average standard does show signs of great potential, but due to dishonest Early Access flagging, i wont be waiting to find out. Click below to watch the full review; https://youtu.be/L7gWPXQ4YCk Search me on Store > Curators to follow my reviews.

Tutorial was much more interesting than the actual game (or at least its opening 30 minutes). Wandered around for a bit in the house, got confused and stumbled through a few puzzles. Then I walked out the front door and a lens flare came down from the sky and caught me in an infinite death loop. Game Over. Lighting seems unfinished. Without power the house still seemed to be illuminated rather well, to the point that I saw no visible difference between unilt vs using the lighter (just more shadows and an orange tint, no difference in visibility). Atmosphere seemed overall lacking.

Игра 'Discrepant' – это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре головоломок. Лаконичный визуальный стиль и минималистичное звуковое сопровождение создают медитативную атмосферу, позволяющую полностью сосредоточиться на решении непростых задач. Каждый уровень – это элегантная головоломка, требующая нестандартного мышления и тщательного планирования. Особенно радует, что игра не пытается подсказать правильное решение, предоставляя игроку полную свободу действий. Поначалу это может показаться сложным, но чувство удовлетворения от решения, найденного самостоятельно, несравнимо ни с чем. Поначалу игровой процесс может показаться несколько монотонным, но постепенно сложность головоломок возрастает, заставляя мозг работать на полную мощность. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, 'Discrepant' – это игра, которая надолго останется в памяти. Она отлично подходит для тех, кто ищет умный и расслабляющий способ провести время. Рекомендую всем любителям головоломок, ценящим оригинальность и элегантность.

"Discrepant" is yet another of literally thousands of mostly asset flipped first person horror adventure games infesting Steam. This one has you chasing some weird escaped critter or something... there's nothing here in terms of professional quality. A lot of effort went into game design here that isn't matched by the low quality assets and sloppy assembly. It's an unpolished train wreck, so it's no wonder this failed. The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever. Gamers can tell... and it comes across as insincere. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging a delusional $10 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
