EMPORIUM

People are comparing this game to Kentucky Route Zero, but I feel like that's a bit unfair to both games. Both are allegorical and surrealist narrative experiences, and both use a low-poly 3D art style, but beyond that they're really quite different. KRZ explores a variety of different themes and subjects as part of a journey carried about by its cast, where the journey itself is quite easy to follow along when taken entirely at face value. Emporium is a lot more restrained, personal, and open to interpretation. Like the description says, it's a vignette. They explore fundamentally different themes in fundamentally different ways. If you like these sorts of surreal and experimental narratives (and you probably already know if you do), Emporium's low price of entry is well worth it.

Лучшее вложение 59 рублей. Одна из самых красивых игр, что я видела, с глубоким продирающим сюжетом и прекрасной атмосферой

Beautiful minimalistic design and impactful storytelling in a short, well-paced package.

5/10

Короткий симулятор ходьбы про сломанную психику. Может, если бы я понимал по-английски или был бы перевод, то может быть я и поставил палец вверх. Поэтому могу оценивать лишь геймплей, а он очень беден.

i think this game gave me a migraine. might play again
