[h1]Вслед за белым кроликом[/h1] Enola - одна из моих любимых игр, которую проходила около двадцати раз на момент написания отзыва. Я знаю наизусть все локации и концовки, и это не останавливает, чтобы запустить и пройти её снова, пропитываясь мрачной и грустной атмосферой. Игра раскрывает феномен Алисы в Стране чудес, где главная героиня отправляется за подругой в мир подсознания, намереваясь спасти её. Искренние чувства персонажей задевают. Ещё больше задевает потусторонний мир, полный воспоминаний и фобий, созданных сознанием измученной девушки. Наиболее ярко проявляется тема посттравматического синдрома и следов, которые оставляет насилие. Посредством записок, можно увидеть события не только от лица девушек, но и чудовищ в человеческом обличьи, которым слёзы и муки приносят удовольствие. Потрясающая озвучка персонажей заставляет особенно прочувствовать сюжет, а мелодичная музыка украшает прохождение. В какой-то момент, есть возможность выбора, который влияет на концовку. Это выбор, который совершает сам игрок, исходя из своих взглядов. Но можно и не выбирать ничего, что тоже является решением. Прохождение занимает меньше часа, если знать куда идти и что делать. Единственным затруднением могут стать моменты встречи с "монстрами", когда нужно очень быстро нажимать кнопки. Присутствуют два режима: обычный и кошмар. Второй превносит в игру немного новых и запутанных локаций, а также открывает дополнительные варианты финала. Enola - красивая игра с глубоким сюжетом, цепляющая, прежде всего, своей неповторимой атмосферой.

[h1] Smells like shovelware... A bit clunky, a bit unpolished, 100% not worth wasting time on. [/h1]

I'm not really sure if Enola is an asset flip. Some elements of this game certainly make it seem like the developer put some effort into assembling some kind of original here. On the other hand, a lot of the game assets don't seem like they were created by the developer, but they haven't credited any asset creators for supplying assets, which might be a case of plagiarism. There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here is indistinguishable from many asset flip/cash grab scams, and that's a problem in itself. Enola is an older game from 2014. It's a venerable 10 years old at the time of this review, but it looks much older, due to low quality assets in the game. The game itself is a rather badly made first person adventure/object collecting game where you run around a house and uncover a dark-and-edgy LGBTQ+ friendly story about rape, which raises questions about the state of the developer, with the myriad possibilities video gaming can explore, that's what they decided to zero in on. You just know that kind of high school "I'm going to make an ART game" mentality is never going to result in something of high value to gamers. Trying to address social issues through the medium of video games is misguided and can be harmful. While it's plausible to suggest the intention was noble, this can do more harm than good. Game developers are not professionals in areas of mental health and social problems, and when they use video games to pretend they are, this can cause far more harm than good. It's my opinion that it's improper to use video games to push political or social agendas. Apart from the harm such hamfisted attempts at addressing social problems can cause, this offers zero benefit to PC gamers. People suffering from health issues or other social problems should seek out professional help rather than going to crap shovelware video games attempting to get sales by exploiting such problems for their own benefit, as is the case here. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game assets are fairly mediocre/low quality, in some places they appear mismatched... Ultimately the quality of these assets, and thus the overall visual is lower than average, and low quality always makes for a less than optimal gaming experience. Remember, we're looking for the best of the best of 100,000+ games on Steam. The developers didn't design the game for modern gaming PCs, as such the display resolution caps out at around 1600p, there's no support for the state-of-the-art 4K or higher resolutions. The game simply won't look right on modern gaming displays due to this failure on the part of the developers. 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, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a modest spike in player counts for the game. But this only happened once, around the same time that trading cards were applied to the game... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Enola has the ridiculous, laughable price of $15 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. 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. For comparison, the $15 asking price for this game could get you games like "Monster Hunter World", "Deep Rock Galactic" or "Stellaris". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this.

Aviso Sobre Conteúdo: [code]Se você foi vítima de estupro, abuso sexual, abuso infantil e/ou qualquer outro que possa envolver esses temas é recomendável que não jogue, Isso provavelmente poderá desencadear momentos do seu passado. [/code] [h1]História:[/h1] Enola este é uma verdadeira perola escondida, Enola tem uma história com um enredo um tanto complexo que é montado de maneira não linear contada no decorrer do jogo, onde você joga com a Enola, que tem que sobreviver em um mundo macabro evocado pelas memórias torturadas da sua namorada, Angélica. Devo dizer que este jogo não é fácil, tanto pelos temas que são abordados quanto pela própria gameplay. Você também descobrira sobre atos repugnantes de violência cometidos contra sua namorada. Enola também vai testar sua moralidade, seus pensamentos sobre justiça, redenção, vingança e perdão, todos serão postos à prova em um ponto, e você terá a tarefa de decidir se deve “poupar” ou “matar” pessoas que cometeram uma série de crimes de vários graus (Essas escolhas são cruciais e determinarão o tipo de final que você vai fazer). [h1]Mecânicas:[/h1] As mecânicas da fabrica foi oque mais me incomodou (que eu chamaria de puzzle factory), você é obrigado a seguir um guia, pois são tantos o lugares pra ir com tantas alavancas e botões para acionar e nada fica claro sobre oque ou onde você abriu. Fora essa parte todo o resto do jogo é bem tranquilo, com puzzles bem elaborados (excluindo a fabrica). [h1]Gráficos:[/h1] Graficamente falando o jogo tem uma atmosfera bem sombria e perturbadora que combina muito bem com o tema proposto pelo jogo. Mansões que lembram a arquitetura da era vitoriana, níveis de cavernas do submundo que transitam para paisagens infernais industriais e céus vermelhos formando uma tempestade apocalíptica são apenas alguns exemplos de um design criativo único e interessante, e devo dizer que os gráficos são muito bem otimizados pois consegui rodar na minha torradeira. [h1]Sons:[/h1] A dublagem é muito boa e bem interpretada por todos os atores. A ambientação consegue ser bem assustadora de modo geral, a única coisa que não gostei são as trocas abruptas das musicas nas trocas de ambiente, tipo acabo de descer a escada e sai de uma musica frenética de perseguição (sem ninguém perseguindo) pra algo calmo. [h1]Conclusão:[/h1] Eu como uma grande fã do tema terror e suspense realmente não esperava muito de Enola mas de fato me surpreendeu bastante, diferente de varios outros jogos com uma história clichê ou sem logica Enola é um jogo de terror indie que brilha com uma história incrível e imersiva, alem de uma ótima dublagem. Então vale muito a pena você dar uma chance.

[b]Warning!! This game might trigger you if you've been a victim of any sort of rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse, and/or child abuse.[/b] You play as a girl, Enola, who is probably in her late teens or early twenties. You start out in a house, but are quickly put into this surreal/macabre world where you are looking for (or at least to find out what happened to) your lesbian lover, Angelica. Along the way, you find out many bits of Angelica's traumatic past. Overall, it's a good idea with horrible implementation. I'm finding it to be a mediocre game with controls/movement which can be somewhat janky at times. Spent the first 20 to 30 minutes just wandering around with no clue what to do. The game gives you no clues, no objective/goal, and didn't even tell me what the keyboard commands were until that 20 to 30-minute mark. I finally gave up and went to check out the step-by-step guide from Jill Of Trades. Though Jill's guide is VERY detailed, I find it quite off-putting that the game is so chaotic and non-directional without it. By the time I looked at the guide, I was already so disenchanted that I was just wishing the game was over. It is ridiculous to NEED a step-by-step guide in order to know what to do. The graphics are okay, with a steampunk influence, but sometimes a little off. Has a first-person POV. The voice-acting is okay, with some better than others. There are some moral choices to make, such as whether to kill a rapist or let him live. The game has multiple endings, depending on the choices you make. In various locations you will find music boxes. Interact with these to save your progress. There are only 5 save slots though, and they don't come with timestamps, which causes more problems when you're trying to go back and reload a previous save, because you can't tell which save is which. Story is okay. Pretty much the same ole same ole of walking/running from place to place, solving puzzles and collecting items (lamps, keys to open doors, levers to operate machinery, notes to explain the story, etc), while every now and then fighting off a shadowy figure who tries to attack/molest you. When he attacks, you must repeatedly push the WASD keys as fast as you possibly can in order to fight him off. In closing, there are many many games out there which are designed better. Give this one a pass.

It tried to install something called Unreal Development Kit from Epic Games and we don't do that.

Strange game got it for .99
