Fidelity

Devs pls pls pls add any instructions on how to play the game to the game. I had to look into the steam reviews and saw it explained there. Once I understood the game was curious and fantastic. Would recommend :)

Fidelity is essentially a glorified kind-of-horror-themed-if-you-count-the-one-tense-audio-file-as-horror "spot the difference" puzzle that takes 30-45 minutes tops to complete. There are a total of four rooms laid out side by side, and five different levels of difficulty with multiple stages in each to progress through. You get a maximum of four chances per try for each stage, and if you lose you can simply restart the level. However, sometimes the game registers one click as two, so you'll lose out on chances quite consistently. Each time you mess up and click something that isn't different, the game turns a deeper red, hindering your ability to see. The most frustrating thing here is that many of the "spot the differences" are a whopping one pixel difference, especially on the last stage. You never get to actually see the rooms in their original state before even attempting the game, and therefore you have to have a very keen eye, or resort to trial and error, and hope that you eventually make it to the end. All that you're rewarded with is a poem in the end, anyway. At first it might be hard to understand how this game has a "Mostly Positive" rating, and how a "totally objective reviewer" gave this game a 10/10, but then you can see the amount of free keys this developer gave out and the low review/low game count accounts, and put two and two together. Fidelity definitely isn't worth the absolutely artificially manufactured hype.

[i]"Fidelity is a super short "spot the difference" game where your powers of observation will be tested to their very limits!"[/i] In this game, you'll follow the depressing musings of the nameless character who's having a mental breakdown and is slowly losing touch with his reality. While doing so, you'll need to "solve" various levels of these "spot the difference" game, whereby every "difference" signifies a change in reality. You do this by simply left-clicking on the different-looking item. The twist here is that you won't have another set of scene to compare with and will have to rely on your memory to correctly identify and pinpoint (accurate mouse clicking is very important here) the different-looking item. Obviously, sometimes, the difference would be super obvious while at other times, it can be a real challenge to spot it correctly. The differences in this game can come in many, many forms - the item could have its color changed; its orientation/arrangement changed; its position changed.... etc. The item could also have very small smudges on them or be filled with "something" that wasn't there before. Some parts of an object may even be missing from the scene (in this case, you'll want to click on the object rather than the empty space where the missing part is) or have something added to it. Objects can suffer from "reality glitches" as well, which, frankly speaking, are among the most obvious difference of them all. Not to mention, some of the differences can be really tiny and difficult to spot. Thankfully, you can use your mouse scroller to zoom in (or out) and take a closer look. Use your right mouse button to drag the scene around or you can just use the arrow keys. The scenes you'll get per level are completely randomized and are usually different, but I did encounter a few repeats during my single playthrough. As you can imagine, the game can be pretty tough to play even though you are given 4 chances per level to find the different item. In fact, I'd say the game gets drastically tougher once you've made a mistake because the scene will be awashed with a tinge of red that gets gradually redder, obscuring certain differences such as a color change, making the item even more difficult to find. So... if possible, try to have a couple of guesses "saved" in your mind before you start clicking! Plus, if you made it to the end like I did, Spoiler alert: [spoiler]the game shows every possible "change in reality" that it can present to you in flipbook animation, and I'm sure you'll be astounded! There are just so many different possibilities, and you still managed to find them all and make it to the end! Good for you![/spoiler] P/S: If you happen to complete a level and are presented with a black screen with some glitchy-looking texts (Don't worry! These are all intentional), you just need to left click the screen once to proceed. [h1]Watch me play![/h1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXzgnzy7mYI [h1]Pros and Cons[/h1] [b]Pros[/b] + Very unique concept, putting a nice twist to the standard "spot the difference" gameplay + Surprisingly challenging and yet it's not too frustrating to play + Has a zoom-in feature to help you find the "change in reality" + The game has an insane number of variations for the same scene, which consists of 4 rooms. However, since the scenes you get are randomly assigned, you might still get the same scenes. Sometimes the same scenes are even back-to-back! What are the odds of that? [b]Cons[/b] - Gameplay can feel repetitive after awhile - that's possibly why the game is awfully short (30 mins or so). - Minimal to no replay value since it's more of a "one-time experience", at least for me. - Not really a "cons" but the game can feel quite depressing - There's a part where the text is reversed in the game. Although I appreciate the artistic effect, maybe make the text glitch back into its normal, more readable form rather having the glitches make the reversed text even tougher to read? - The game closes itself automatically after ending... and no, it did not crash. - Might be pricey if you rate the game in terms of its "price-vs-playtime" ratio. 30 mins of gameplay for $1.99 isn't exactly cheap in my books. [h1]Overall[/h1] As a massive fan of HOGs (mainly the parts where you have to find hidden items), I find Fidelity satisfyingly difficult to play. Granted that the story depressingly depicts a person's slow but gradual detachment from reality, I love how challenging each level is and that despite all that, the game doesn't punish you harshly for not being able to spot the "change in reality". Instead, you'll get to restart only that level rather than the entire game. However, as much fun as I had in the game, I would not recommend buying the game at its full price of $1.99 unless you really want to support the dev. I've only gotten around 30 minutes of playtime out of it and I'm pretty sure I won't be playing the game again, so that's around $2 per 1/2 hour... not really the best "price per playtime" ratio. If I were to stick to my standard $1 per 1 hour ratio, the game should just cost around 50 cents... just saying!

Ayrıntılara ne kadar dikkat ediyorsunuz? Fidelity aslında ufak değişimlerin ne kadar önemli olduğunu gösteren bir oyun. Tamamen görmenize bağlı ufak detaylara saklanmış bulmacaları ile en sonunda kalbinize dokunacak bir hikayeye sahip.

Fantastic style and tense soundscape, this smart little puzzle game provides a bite size but satisfying hour of replayability. It took me a few attempts and you have to be pretty sharp to spot the details! Worth every penny!

Nice little game that takes 30-60 minutes to complete. depends on how fast you can point out the difference. pixel graphic, witch is perfect for this game. only need mouse to play it so you can have the coffemug in the other hand.

[h1] A Dark, Reverse Where's Waldo [/h1] Rather watch than read? Me too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozPOEYTf9kQ So Fidelity is an interesting game. It's not like anything I've ever played, either. The idea is REALLY simple... just find the differences each time in the protagonists world. Click on them and move on. You're given little snippets of a story and a spooky atmosphere as you move through the game. I won't lie, the game had me on edge the entire time. The music / tone / visuals make you uncomfortable (at least they did for me, because I was expecting a jump scare. I won't spoil where that happened or not). The differences you need to track down can be PAINFULLY difficult, but fun. I was never taken out of the experience because of the difficulty. For the price, this is an absolute gem. Experience something different than anything you've ever played! tl;dr - Very much yes. A great game especially for the price. Just be aware it's very short! Unboxing videos for video games!
