Позитивно-нейтральний відгук. За таку ціну головоломка непогана, наче багаторівнева квест-кімната. Але тут ще є сюжет й переклад англійською ледь читабельний, багацько описів не перекладено взагалі що для гри з мінімумом тексту вже прикро. Наступне радше про вподобання, але не всі завдання зрозумілі й спроба зробити драматичний сюжет зверху (в грі, де дружина ГГ кожен день прикидається мертвою, ну альо)... така собі спроба, от що. Коротше виключно поціновувачам головоломок.
A seemingly cute and irreverent game about your wife pretending to be dead every night you return from work quickly evolves into poignant social commentary. There's so much being said about mental health, loss, work culture, and domestic relationships, not to mention a spectacular pixel art city skyline you can view at any time. Couldn't recommend more!
[h1] A clever and intelligent puzzle game with an original premise [/h1] Your wife is an odd bird. She enjoys dressing up in various costumes, inventing murder crime scenes and playing dead. The only way to revive her is to work out what she requires and give it to her. If you get it wrong she won't be happy and she will make you do the task again, like when I gave her a bowl of rice instead of egg fried rice! If Only I could Go Home Early is a clever puzzle game with a premise I have never seen before. It can be quite challenging, especially towards the latter of the twenty levels, and I did have to look up answers on a few occasions. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976773784 There's a nice tutorial to inch you into the game play, which is point and click based, with very basic controls and little mini games scattered here and there. There are some really obscure and often bizarre puzzles to solve, but always very imaginative and fresh. Some are observational, like watching out for number combinations to unlock a safe, and others require interacting with objects, like cooking rice in a rice cooker, or opening the fridge. There are items scattered around which stay in your inventory until you use them. Items are never combined, but you will need to use every item, so they always have a purpose. Each level has its own story and is often introduced with a nice pixel art cut scene. I loved the look of the game and enjoyed each story. They're not long stories at all, more suggestions of their life together and as you progress you get to know more about them, but it's certainly not a narrative experience. It was just done in a charming and likeable fashion. Take a look at the game play for more of an idea.

It's difficult to fit in an original concept among the barrage of puzzle games out there, but this certainly feels new and innovative, with bizarre and amusing puzzle solutions, which can be very difficult. For the price it is an easy recommendation.

A point and click game. Starts out pretty normal, but then goes on a complete sci-fi journey, but it's okay because it serves to tell the extremely powerful story. This game hits different. TW (MASSIVE ENDING SPOILER):[spoiler]The game is titled as it is because he doesn't get home in time to save her from dying. [/spoiler] To anyone like myself where this has actually happened to you, the game is a real punch in the gut, but it's what makes the game so powerful too.
[i]我最好的结局就是靠在你怀里然后立刻死掉[/i]
经典小游戏《如果可以回家早一点》最开始我应该是在手机上做的全成就,现在上steam后也还是支持一下。 想象一下,劳累的日子回家一打开灯,没有晚餐,也没有甜甜的拥抱,第一次玩到中期会觉得戏精老婆有点烦人,但随着背后的故事一点一点展开,老婆的用意才得以显现…… [b] 别忘了回家早一点,多陪陪爱你和你爱的人,现实时间可是一去不复返的 [/b]
刀死我得了☹
越玩越刀,有时候还是多陪陪身边人吧。
我用另一种方式追上了你
虽然只是一款解谜向小游戏,但剧情真的很虐。 玩到最后看到老婆[spoiler]去世[/spoiler],我也跟着哭出来了...... 总之希望大家都能多陪陪家人。
