God For A Day

This feels like a Newgrounds game I'd play back in the day for free. Super boring gameplay and lots of bugs. Do not recommend.

this game is awful and the devs clearly have problematic worldviews

For the first hour, I really enjoyed the game’s concept and the variety of characters you can choose to bless or punish. However, in its current state, I feel it still needs more time in development. My main issue is the save system. I have played the game on three separate occasions, and each time the “Continue” option appeared on the home screen. However, after closing and reopening the game, my save file had either been corrupted or deleted, forcing me to start again from the beginning. I have also noticed that several other players have reported the same issue in their reviews. With a few updates—especially one that resolves the loss of saved data—I would be more than happy to change my review and recommend the game. It is particularly disappointing because I first saw the game advertised in March and had been looking forward to playing it ever since. One of the game’s biggest positives, however, is that Funky Forest’s passion for the game is clear. This can be seen not only in the effort put into the artwork, but also in how quickly the developer are responding to and addressing reported issues.

Its tough to recommend in its current state, there's a lot of graphical bugs, some crashes, etc. What it basically boils down to is a bit of satire, where you find objects on a page, which is compiled into some evidence list, and from there you either bless or condemn the person in question. So, you can condemn someone for being a woke lefty, or bless an influencer or memecoin market moron, whatever floats your boat. And you get likes/dislikes for it, which impacts on your ending. It is fairly casual, and you can blast through it in an hour, if that if you have higher than Grade 6 reading comprehension tbh. That doesn't really leave much to shout home about, for £10 (£7 on sale), it is comically over-priced as well. Better value would probably be near to £4-5, it is very much a one and done game that relies on you clicking with the humour to warrant a second playthrough. Overall, it is just, mediocre and lacklustre, and so, is very much something you should pass over short of it being on an extremely deep sale.

After putting a good amount of time into the games this game likens itself to, I can't bring myself to recommend it. The decisions you make, which is 90% of the game, hold no real weight aside from a quick social media blurb and an in game achievement that is buggy and will likely reset itself. It reset my whole save on my 11th or 12th appraisal. The other 10% of the game is a hidden object game, and I cant recommend that either because you're searching for "suspicious" things but it comes down to clicking everything on screen for a minute or two until all you have is a lackluster puzzle to solve for your key piece of evidence. I've seen other reviews compare this to a game you'd play for free for an hour on new grounds and never again. If my review hasn't driven you away yet, at the very least pick this up on sale, I think the asking price of $13 is steep while it contains bugged progression and lacks the depth of similar game that are a better deal.

what bugs me the most is his self insert martyr character. its giving major Amy's Baking Company, and the whole thing feels a bit egotistical. its a pretty cool concept over all, but for $3.12 more for me at least you could get death and taxes, which is the same basic idea, just with more thought and effort put into it. aside from the developers Dimitri from sly 2 plagiarized sob story, the game is barer than bones, animations are done with pretty obvious rigs, the kind you'd find in gacha life or the like, the entire game as people have said is basically 2 buttons and a single level from pajama Sam or putt putt. you click all over the screen, and then you click heaven or hell and then you either lose or gain followers, its interesting at first but pretty quickly becomes a repetitive, with guest appearances like, ned flanders, homer simpson, gus fring, elon musk, Walter white, etc. this last part isn't confirmed but, something about this game reminds me a lot of AI, i mean a lot, maybe its the art style, maybe its how soulless it feels but idk, this isn't confirmed so let it be said this section shouldn't have too much baring on you choices

3 out of 10. The game's premise is really interesting, but unfortunately, the execution is sloppy. Graphically speaking, the game is pretty bad, it looks like a browser game. You can’t change the resolution, Alt+Tab causes the game to crash quite consistently. The “important choices” have less effect than you’d expect. At various points, the developer whether unintentionally or not (it seemed pretty intentional to me) lets his worldview seep through and interfere with the game’s atmosphere. Furthermore, there are too many references to movies and TV shows, and the game’s clues are insufficient to help you form an opinion if you haven’t watched them which is a serious flaw because it undermines the game’s core premise It’s definitely not worth the price and “forced” me to request a refund, something I don’t usually do.
