lol, this not-game (in the author's own words) only lasts a minute so I had to re-open it and leave it running for a bit longer to be able to write a review. SO... Loneliness. Something a LOT of us are experiencing nowadays. And I guess that this [b]VERY[/b] little effort not-game acts as a metaphor of that condition. Well, if I take something from this micro-experience-thing is this: At least the pixelated protagonist of this thingy does something many lonely people are NOT doing, which is [b]actually trying to reach out to other people[/b]. But sadly, everyone rejects him for some undisclosed reason, walking away from him and eventually fading from his life. And so, if there is any lesson here about Loneliness, it may be that even if you do what many others don't and actually get out of your comfort zone to be more social and meet others, just doing that does NOT guarantee you any friends nor a significant other. So, if something about yourself is making you repellent instead of attractive to people, you need to figure out what that is and FIX IT, or you will remain lonely foreeeeeeeeeeever... which isn't so bad. WAY better being alone and in peace, than in bad company. SO, should you "play" Loneliness? Well, it's free as it should be, and if you have a minute to spare and want to add a game to your list of "Beaten" games... sure, why not. Additionally, there is a free "omnibus" with micro-games, not-games and similar thingies from the same author. Loneliness is part of that omnibus, and in there it includes a little special message with should have been included in this version. https://store.steampowered.com/app/838070/The_Gametrekking_Omnibus/

[h1]O Silêncio que Grita: Uma Reflexão sobre a Solidão ⬛[/h1] [b]Resumo:[/b] Loneliness não é um jogo no sentido tradicional, mas uma experiência sensorial e filosófica. Usando uma linguagem visual universal, ele consegue transmitir o peso da solidão de forma impactante e profundamente real. [hr][/hr] [h2]⬛ A Vida de um Cubo[/h2] Nesta experiência, você controla um pequeno cubo em sua jornada solitária. Aqui, a jogabilidade é deixada de lado para dar espaço à mensagem. Não há diálogos, missões ou sistemas complexos; apenas você e o cenário. O objetivo é a simplicidade extrema para que nada distraia o jogador do sentimento que está sendo transmitido. [h2]🖼️ Linguagem Universal[/h2] O grande trunfo de [i]Loneliness[/i] é o uso da imagem como forma de comunicação. Através de cenas e ações sutis, o jogo nos coloca diante de situações que muitos de nós ignoramos no dia a dia, mas que são dolorosamente reais quando paramos para observar ao nosso redor. É um espelho da realidade em forma de código. [quote=Veredito]Um exemplo perfeito de como a arte digital pode ser acessível e poderosa. Por ser um jogo gratuito que entrega uma mensagem tão forte e necessária. Vale cada segundo da sua atenção.[/quote] [h2]✅ Pontos Positivos[/h2] [list] [*] Mensagem filosófica impactante e universal. [*] Gratuito e acessível para qualquer computador. [*] Estética minimalista que serve perfeitamente ao propósito. [/list] [h2]❌ Pontos Negativos[/h2] [list] [*] Por ser uma experiência curta e sem mecânicas, quem busca "diversão" tradicional pode não compreender a proposta. [/list] [hr][/hr] [b]Nota Final:[/b] ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10/10)
Игра 'Loneliness' — это настоящий погружение в атмосферу меланхолии и экзистенциальной тоски. С первых минут ты ощущаешь себя потерянным в пустом, но завораживающем мире, где каждый звук, каждый блик света усиливает чувство одиночества. Геймплей здесь — скорее медитативное исследование, нежели активное противостояние. Нет навязчивых подсказок, нет четко поставленных целей, только ты и бесконечная пустота, которую предстоит заполнить своими мыслями. Графика, выполненная в минималистичном стиле, прекрасно передает это ощущение изоляции, а саундтрек, состоящий из эмбиентных мелодий, буквально обволакивает тебя своей грустью. 'Loneliness' — это не та игра, которую проходят ради достижений или острых ощущений. Это скорее опыт, приглашение к саморефлексии, возможность столкнуться со своими внутренними демонами в безопасном, пусть и пугающем, цифровом пространстве. Игра на любителя, но если ты готов к такому путешествию, она подарит незабываемые впечатления.
I love the game but it gives me a lonely feeling. Thats life even if your not feeling a 100% try to give a 100%. You are the change somebody needs. - a stranger on the internet

[h1] Loneliness: Eine Virtuelle Reise, die mein Leben perfekt Einfängt [/h1] "Loneliness" ist nicht nur ein Spiel, es ist eine fesselnde Reise, die mein Leben perfekt widerspiegelt. Die Grafik, Musik und Geschichte schaffen eine Atmosphäre, die meine Höhen und Tiefen einfängt. Das Gameplay, ein Tanz mit der Einsamkeit, vermittelt die Botschaft, wie schwer es doch ist aus diesem Tiefpunkt zu entkommen. Dieses Spiel ist nicht nur Unterhaltung; es ist eine spiegelnde Ode an die Schönheit des menschlichen Lebens. [h2] 10/10 [/h2]
