как по мне игра отличная мне понравилось в ней всё жду не дождусь продолжения
This is a fever dream. A fever dream with good characters and art that makes me want to see more. The story may have pacing issues and the gameplay may be a bit finicky. But still a great experience. And hey! its free. Definitely worth checking out. Give it a shot.
[h3]The English version of the review is below. [/h3] Безумно, стильно, красочно, разнообразно и еще бесплатно :) На момент обзора доступна только первая глава, как понимаю далее будут выходить новые главы и так же бесплатно. По скриншотам не до конца понятно, что тут делать. В кратце: с видом как в Don't Starve перемещаетесь по локациям, небольшая боевая способность нажимается на Е, от некоторых противников просто уворачиваетесь, общаетесь с безумно прекрасными персонажами и решаете простенькие головомки. Если есть свободная минутка и не хочется сильно напрягаться - попробуйте. ---- It’s wacky, stylish, colorful, varied—and free, too. :) As of this review, only the first chapter is available, though I gather new chapters will be released later, also for free. It’s not entirely clear from the screenshots what the gameplay is like. In short: you navigate locations using a *Don't Starve*-style perspective, use a minor combat ability by pressing 'E', simply dodge certain enemies, interact with wonderfully eccentric characters, and solve simple puzzles. If you have a spare minute and don't want anything too taxing, give it a try.
