Lightstep Chronicles

I really enjoyed the story of this game. The AIs personalities were all distinct and fascinating and the tension between them and the events that led to everything was palpable. I could comment on gameplay, graphics, and design (all of which I found very immersive) but the true star is the story. I've only played it once but I plan on doing a second playthrough to see if I missed any details in the dialogue choices. Definitely worth the price.

Lightstep Chronicles is a gorgeous sci-fi story in the style of Subsurface Circular. The biggest thing seperating it from other good short stories are the visuals. Unlike subsurface that is limited to a single location and looks kinda fine; Lightstep has a variety of shiny, stunning environments, a bunch of rather well done cutscenes and even a fullblown CGI starting scene. The story moves along very nicely and has a lot going on in it with a good few twists and turns and the interactions with various AIs(who your talking to throughout the game) is very well built and their personalities/backstories are all excellent. There are enough dialogue branches and a bit of gameplay clicking around to keep one properly engaged as well. All told Lightstep Chronicles is very enjoyable with high production values and well thought out story and characters. Highly recommended

I wish there was a "meh" button. the game is gorgeous, the cinematics are astounding..... but the voice acting isn't that same quality the visuals led me to believe, and after that first cutscene there doesn't seem to be any voice acting. But so far I've only played about 20 minutes. This game is a visual novel, but with a little something extra to make the world more interactive, while not what I had hoped it would be, it still has some good qualities.

An amazing and truly unique game with an incredible twist. Loved it!!!

I just started this and it looks amazing! Appears text-based after some really stunning cut scenes, but don't know what's coming. Anyway, had to comment early on to say I think this will be a great game and now is a good time to buy with a little discount.

Great atmospheric game, complimented with good graphics and an incredible sound score. I love it!

A real treat to play. The AI and its many personalities all present unique perspectives and goals to the table. It's hard to know who to trust and how the game will progress. There are quite a few dialogue options, and many conversations warranted replays in order to discover alternative goals and dialogue, especially if you decide to work toward achievements. Takes around 3-4 hours to complete on the first playthrough, and the big cutscenes are skippable. Although there were some questionable moments in the dialogue options that can make you go "that's not what I meant," the game is immersive and gets you invested in the fates of everyone and everything present. This game, unfortunately, does suffer from offering the player fake choices in some areas where you'll have different dialogue options that give you the same result, with barely noticeable long-term effects. It's a bit of a shame that there is no option to replay a specific chapter, but the game isn't too long if you want to find out all the available options in a chapter. You can tell a lot of work went into this game, especially in the animation. Worth getting if you're a big fan of UI/text-based games, because this game will stand out regardless.

Ce jeu est avant tout une négociation avec des entités d'A.I., donc basé sur du texte. Peu d'action, à part choisir la réponse la plus adaptée à la situation et interagir avec des ordinateurs. L'histoire se dévoile petit à petit tant qu'on ne choisit pas la mauvaise réponse, ce qui m'est arrivé une fois (possibilité de se reprendre la partie juste avant ce choix). Les graphismes et animations sont superbes. J'aurais aimé pouvoir sauvegarder juste avant le choix final, pour voir les 6 différentes fins. En conclusion j'ai passé un bon moment, mais je voulais juste avertir les autres joueurs sur ce que ce jeu est, ou n'est pas.

If you are a fan of the point and click genre then ignore this review But I will try this out if it seems like the story is good. Unfortunately a lot of these suffer from the same problem, contrived plot elements that only serve the UI and not the story. The game looks good, sound is good but I find I quickly get stuck in trying to advance past the tutorial point of the interface and I cant even get into the story. A better example is HL2, the story compels you to move forward from the start. Here you have to figure out the UI mechanics presents as if they were part of the story but not only is that part uninteresting, its not clear what you need to trigger to advance. Many of these point and click type games are like this, we have been pointing and clicking for ages, these contrived mechanics are simply speed bumps to the point and click gravy of a good story.

《Lightstep Chronicles》是一款科幻題材的3D文字冒險遊戲，玩家將扮演潛入外星飛船調查的行動隊隊長，因受到襲擊而被飛船上的精神分裂(?)的AI劫持，並請求妳的幫助，是當一個唯唯諾諾的弟弟還是當個陽奉陰違的老陰逼，妳不同的選擇會走向不同的結局。遊戲畫面異常精良，3A既視感，但玩法較為單調無聊，且無官中，大文本量的英文閱讀會勸退不少國人玩家，請酌情考慮。 [h1]精致的畫面[/h1] 遊戲的畫面精致到難以想象這僅僅是一款文字冒險，人物、場景，建模相當精良，動作流暢自然，飛船恢宏大氣，打開遊戲看到開場CG的時候，想必大部分人都會覺得這是一款科幻FPS大作吧。 除去精致的建模，遊戲在各種“小動作”細節上也表現得極為出色，比如遊戲中陪伴玩家最久的大眼睛AI，眼皮比起機械更有一種生物的質感，張合時會有褶皺的變化，同時眼球附近的導軌狀器械也在不斷滑動和轉動，比起靜態畫面沖擊力不曉得高出多少。 [h1]單調的玩法[/h1] 比起畫面，玩法方面給玩家帶來的落差就比較大了，玩家能做的僅僅是，對話，選擇選項進行回復，和周邊設備進行一些簡單的互動，基本就沒其他東西了。 遊戲的開篇，白色眼球阿爾法請求玩家的協助，一段交流之後阿爾法陷入沈睡，然而醒來的卻是大眼珠子的另一個滿口哲學，說著晦澀難懂的話的黑色“人格”，它則會告訴妳阿爾法不是什麽好鳥，要多提防，開篇便給玩家設下了足夠的懸念，吸引玩家將遊戲進行下去。隨後場景來到太空，但玩法依舊沒有什麽變化，只是會在飛船內的艙室間移動並進行不同的劇情，玩家的耐心也會在這個過程眾逐漸消磨，看著這麽出色的場景而不能進行互動，屬實難受。 [h1]總結[/h1] 精致的畫面，不錯的劇情，這款遊戲作為一款AVG而言已經有了不錯的品質，但單調的玩法會給玩家一種“這遊戲不該是這樣子”的落差，難不成是美工做完之後投資人撤資了？並不明白。總之，如果能接受大文本的英文閱讀，這款遊戲還是蠻值得感受一下的。 以上測評僅供參考，只代表個人意見 [quote]點擊加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/itgameap]趣遊鑒賞組[/url]，一同探索遊戲的樂趣~ 歡迎關註[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34803254/]趣遊鑒賞家[/url]，查看更多趣味性評測。 讓我們用愛點亮遊戲之光，加入我們，共同感受更多趣味的遊戲吧！[/quote]
