一個挺短的解謎遊戲 整體來說還是不錯的 謎題也不會太難 但真的很短 很可惜 打折的話還挺推薦的 可以消磨時間
[h2]❛ 의미를 따라가다 길을 잃었다 ❜[/h2] 그림체와 분위기는 따뜻하고 흥미롭다. 초반에 미스터리 느낌도 잘 살려놔서 기대감도 충분했고. 근데 스토리가 진행될수록 점점 산으로 가는 느낌이 강하다. 너무 어렵게 꼬아놨다고 해야 되나? 굳이 이렇게까지 복잡하게 풀어야 했나 싶은 수준. 의도적으로 난해하게 만든 느낌이다. 직관적으로 풀어도 충분히 매력적인 소재인데 "있어 보이려고 꼬아놓은" 느낌이 들어서 아쉬웠다. 특히 후반 엔딩으로 갈수록 이해하려고 하기 자체가 귀찮아지고 지금은 기억도 잘 안 날 정도로 와닿지가 않는다. 당시에 결말이 이해안가서 2번정도 다시 플레이했고, 결말을 완전히 이해했지만... 전체적으로 난해하다는 말이 어울린다. 그래도 음악, 아트워크, 미니게임 구성은 괜찮았고 캐릭터들도 다 개성 있다. 확실히 아트 쪽은 공들인 느낌이 든다. 결국 문제는 풀어내는 방식 하나라고 본다. 좀 더 쉽게 전달했어도 좋은 게임이었을 텐데 그걸 스스로 어렵게 만든 느낌이라 아쉬움이 크다. 곱씹으면서까지 의미를 해석할 만큼 매력적으로 다가오는 게임은 아니었기에 개인적으로는 추천하기 힘들 듯하다. [b]이미 비슷한 장르의 훨씬 괜찮은 게임들이 많기 때문에.[/b] 뭐, 귀여운 고양이 보는 맛은 있다. 🐱

[h2] 你是三眼嗎?喔不我才是三眼吧! [/h2] 雖然短但令我電波雷達一直響的小遊戲 這第四面牆打破得恰到好處,特別是針對我這種常常RE檔的人 簡直就是寫給我們的情書,保羅就是每個我們 要說缺點就是動畫幀數真的太低了 還想透過動態模糊來唬弄真的看得很躁
Игра Follow the meaning вначале мне показалось нудной и странной, а когда по дольше поиграл, игра понравилась.
很短,然后戛(ry 但是挺有趣的,谜题设计不错,奇奇怪怪的要素也很多,推荐打折入。 嗯……不过游戏本身如果只是这样的内容的话,有点让人没有探索全成就和额外内容的欲望诶。 中评吧,。
What a quirky game. Very charming but also kind of horrifying by the implications of the story.
steamdeck(画面タッチ)でプレイ。 謎解きは簡単寄り。短時間でちょっと不思議な世界を体験したい人にオススメです。 翻訳で困ることもありません。脱出ゲーム等を嗜んでいる人ならスイスイでしょう。 2周して実績全解除しました。
好玩的解密小游戏
um jogo legalzinho sobre luto.
很喜歡美術與音樂,謎題也不會太刁難 雖然有點看不太懂故事內容不過對於裡面獵奇的呈現非常滿意
