Epanalepsis is a narrative-focused adventure game that tells a story about those connections across sixty years and beyond that pays equal homage to New Wave science fiction, cyberpunk dystopian stories, and the art cinema of the early 1990s.

You walk sooooooooooooooo slow. The game starts with some random fetch quests that probably wouldn't have annoyed me if the walking speed wasn't so terribly slow. Once I got out of the apartment I realized all the dialogue and plot seemed pointless and random. I refunded it. [h1]Pros:[/h1] + Unique art style + Okay music [h1]Cons:[/h1] + Slow walking speed + No auto walk when you click on items. You need to be on top of them first to interact. + Boring dialogue.
I had fun with this game. I guess the word is fun. Wait, let me start over. So, the game is like an hour. Okay, it's like forty minutes. But you will want to play through it again, because choices affect the outcome. Or do they? It's not pretty, and it's not innovative, but it is interesting. Or maybe I don't get it, and because of that I think it has some "deep" meaning, so I'm not being as hard on it as I should. There is time travel of a sort. There is a story of a sort. There is gameplay. . . of a sort. And there is a soundtrack, and I kinda like it. Look, let's cut to the chase. You can finish this game in half the time you have before you can't get a refund here on Steam. I didn't get a refund. Because I had fun with the game. Is that the word, fun? Or is it free? Oh! Right, I got the game for free, that's why I didn't get a refund! But I did buy the soundtrack.
Enigmatic and thought-provoking. Definitely worth a try for the curious!
What did I even just play
Voy a ser breve y consiso....es un intento de hacer algo retro al estilo de la pelicula "cloud atlas"... Pero justamente es un intento, porque es pesimo en historia, pesimo en desarrollo y deberia valer menos de un dolar para lo que es.... Eso si lo unico que saca a flote este juego es su soundtrack y en algo lo "artístico" que posee, pero creeria que es un producto mal hecho/a medio terminar.
The developer has talent, but their decision to write a choppy, non-cohesive story is ♥♥♥♥. There was so much potential that was wasted. The game lets you walk around and click on things, but no puzzles exist. There are a few moments where you can make decisions, but I wonder if the choices matter. I will play the game again to see if the ending changes. The way that dialogue is presented is abhorrent. It's like reading a comic book or manga without understanding the proper order. There are no visual clues as to whom is speaking, and that frustrates the ♥♥♥♥ out of me. As a game player, you're not missing anything substantial if you skip this game. Hopefully, the developer will learn and improve in his next game.
This may have been bypassed back in 2015 as a simple curiosity, but in 2022, this holds weight to the world we have found ourselves in. Going from one era to the next - the hopeful beginning of a new future in the 1990s, the technological advances propelling us in the 2010s, and the dark cyberpunk future the megacorps have made of the 2030s that are effectively what we are living in now - have completely captivated and touched me in ways that only the present day we have found ourselves in possibly could. The lingo, culture, behavior, and environments in each era are remarkably accurate, and the soundtrack for each era is wonderfully crafted to reflect these time periods. What is the most interesting is that the distant future, incredibly reminiscent of 1970s existential sci-fi, depicts how those of that time would look back on the dark megacorp-ruled and technologically oppressive future we have found ourselves in. Essentially, our dark cyberpunk future is their distant past, and this game touches upon those thoughts, and theories, with incredible foresight. I have lived through each of these eras, and considering the world of 2022 is nearly identical to the 2030s represented in Epanalepsis, this game was not only highly predictive in what was to come, but also was, and is, visionary to what will come afterwards. The time to play is just right for a comfortable playthrough, and I would highly recommend focusing on taking the characters, and their interactions, seriously so as to truly appreciate what has been written, and foretold in a world that is not at all unlike our own. We never realized how well we had it in 2015, until Epanalepsis predicted what would become our dark cyberpunk future in the 2020s. Highly recommended for anyone living in the 2020s and beyond to see where we were, how we got here, and how the distant future may very well turn out.
Play this game if you like weird adventures games with cool music. I can't really say that I like it all that much, but I'd backed it on Kickstarter and previously played Catachresis, so I played it through, once. There are probably multiple endings, but I usually don't try to play through to multiple endings. It was a cool weird story that I didn't really understand much, but that's okay.
[h1]Epanalepsis est un jeu d’aventure très décalé et limite limite[/h1] Epanalepsis est un jeu que je n’aime pas du tout et c’est pour ça que j’ai voté négativement pour lui. Attention, je n’aime pas Epanalepsis mais ce n’est pas pour ça que le jeu est mauvais (enfin, pour moi, si mais pas pour tout le monde). J’ai trouvé une chose positive dans Epanalepsis, juste une seule, c’est la musique, elle est excellente. Quand au reste... rien, c’est vulgaire, c’est mal fait et puis pour se dédouaner, l’auteur du jeu dit qu’il s’inspire de Lars Van Trier, un pseudo réalisateur avec un discours intolérable à notre époque. Bref, économisez 6 euros et ne l’achetez pas, ou alors attendez qu’il soit à moins d’un euro et juste pour la musique !

Epanalepsis é um jogo que pode ter muitos significados escondidos, mas para mim não fez qualquer sentido. Há jogos que depois de chegarmos ao fim ficamos com uma sensação de vazio, pois nos importamos com as personagens e sentimos falta do tempo em que estivemos naquele mundo. Quando acabamos Epanalepsis sentimos o vazio dos 5,99€ que podiam ser empregues em algo mais merecedor desse valor, talvez um jogo. Qualquer outro na Steam.
