Dot's Home

Лучше посмотрите видео на ютубе об расизме, о Детройте, афроамериканцев и бедных людях. Чем играть в эту скучное подобие игры, где ты нажимаешь туда сюда, ждешь анимации, читаешь диалоги или монологи (в которых рассказывают исторические факты). Музыка полная туфта. Графика сойдет. У игры есть один главный плюс наличие достижений и все.

I’ve been wanting to play "Dot’s Home" for months & February felt like the perfect time—it did not disappoint. You can tell the team poured real knowledge & care into telling a story rooted in Black history. The art, characters & heartfelt narrative pulled me in & I love that your choices truly impact the ending. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience & highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about history—or simply stand as an ally to it.

This game is phenomenal historical storytelling! It allows you to see the family histories of Black folks in the US fighting against systemic housing oppression and fighting to sustain their communities! I've never seen a game that shares this narrative so well and teaches you in such an engaging way about this ongoing issue. This game is a gem!!!!!

Meh. It is not a PnC game, more like a walking simulator/visual novel. You have some choices that shape the ending, but you mostly just do what you have been told and read the text. It is boring for me. At least it is short: 45-60 min. Story? In short, it is about gentrification, and old neighborhoods are dying, but when a country is only 250 years old and built on pushing out the original "residents" over and over, it is hard to relate to the problem.

A very lean point and click with a focus on gentrification and what it means to have a community. The artwork is clean and beautiful, and while the actual point and click aspect is super simple it's still worth the the playthrough

Dot's Home is one of the best free to play games that I have ever played. This is a fairly short, point and click style, story driven game where some of the choices that they player makes matter at one point. As Dot, the player travels through time, and learns about her family's stories of how prejudice, racism, and generational trauma has affected them through the decades. In addition to what I mentioned above, systemic racism, discrimination, poverty, financial stress, loss, and difficult choices are subjects throughout. There are newspaper articles in the game that allow the player to read a little bit about some of the historical, real life events that took place and helped inspire the Dot's Home devs. It would be wonderful to see more thoughtful, educational games like Dot's Home created for those above young childhood age, in the future. Also, I really appreciate that even though this is free to play, and is from 2021, the devs have continued to update/patch it.

Ein kurzes, nett gemachtes Point-and-Click-Adventure, das sich um ein altes, baufälliges Haus und die Frage dreht, ob man es verkaufen oder weiter darin leben soll. Die Atmosphäre ist ruhig und leicht melancholisch, trägt das Spiel aber nur bedingt. Dafür, dass es kostenlos ist, geht das in Ordnung, Geld hätte ich dafür allerdings nicht ausgegeben. Wirkliche Rätsel gibt es kaum, und die als „bedeutungsvoll“ präsentierten Entscheidungen laufen letztlich nur darauf hinaus, welches der drei Enden man zu sehen bekommt. Am Ende bleibt ein netter, sehr kurzer Zeitvertreib ohne großen Anspruch. Ganz okay für zwischendurch, aber auch schnell wieder vergessen.

interesting point & click visual novel about going back in time to shape your family's future

I won't lie I would never have played this game without Skater Gator made me crash out and go crazy. This game has a great story about a family and following their dreams there three important multiple choice questions and each give you two options that gives you different context of endings. This game really surprised how in depth it got with the story!
