Kewter’s Showroom

I wanted to give this game a neutral rating, but as that's not possible I've fallen just on the side of recommending it. I thought that the depiction of a mentally disintegrating fashion influencer was done very well and was genuinely disturbing, but I have two concerns with the game. The first is the poor sound quality of many of the speech sections even when the speaker is meant to be rational (perhaps this is part of the parody of an influencer's home-made fashion show?). The second is the deliberate randomness of two of the achievements (the developer wrote in a discussion that the appearance or otherwise of these is randomly determined at the start of a new game); I was lucky enough to get both by the end of my second playthrough but I wouldn't have tried a third time. Achievements shouldn't be based on pure luck and players shouldn't have to keep repeating a game on the off-chance of getting the final achievements.

Didn't quite make it to the end, but I enjoyed the dress-up aspect, but the horror bits didn't quite land for me. I personally didn't find them terribly scary, and some of the pauses made me think that the game had crashed. I realise that this is intentional, but I didn't find it that fun waiting for the game to load.

Nothing against the game, I just don't see any reason to recommend it. It's okay, the art and voice acting actually kinda work for me, but. The sound is just a bit too irritating, the loading times are w a y too long, and I just don't see the point. It's still better than the first two seconds would make you believe though, and I do see some quality in it! I just didn't have a good time.

Игра "Kewter's Showroom" – это странный и сюрреалистичный опыт, который сложно однозначно оценить, но определенно запоминающийся. Визуальный стиль, нарочито неряшливый и гротескный, одновременно отвращает и притягивает, создавая гнетущую атмосферу. Геймплей минималистичен и сводится к изучению окружения и взаимодействию с абсурдными объектами, что может показаться некоторым игрокам скучным и бессмысленным. Однако, если вы готовы погрузиться в этот хаос и позволить себе интерпретировать происходящее, игра может предложить уникальный психологический опыт. Отсутствие явного нарратива и четких целей заставляет задуматься о скрытых смыслах и подтекстах, заставляя работать воображение. Атмосфера тревоги и безысходности, созданная визуальным стилем и звуковым сопровождением, может вызвать дискомфорт, но также и заставить задуматься о метафизических вопросах. "Kewter's Showroom" – это не игра для всех, но если вы ищете что-то необычное и провокационное, способное оставить после себя долгое послевкусие, то она может вас заинтересовать. Будьте готовы к тому, что вам будет непонятно и неуютно, но, возможно, именно в этом и заключается ее ценность.

Wow! Kewter helped me become the best fashionista I could! The adorable art style and charming sound design really helped sell the mood! If I ever had trouble with coming up with a daring diva outfit, I could always check out Kewter's recommended! I just hope Kewter doesn't know where I live! 10 stars!
