Look Outside

Yet another proof that the key to a great game isn't an "AAA" project with a huge open world and a big studio where a bunch of talentless writers and developers sit around wondering what other tedious mechanic they can shove into their mediocre (LGBTQ+) project just so they can jack up the price tag even more. No — what matters is talent, hard work, attention to detail and to how the player actually behaves, an interesting idea, and great presentation. Oh, and just one small thing: incredible atmosphere; interesting, well-written characters — both your teammates and enemy/neutral NPCs with their own individual personalities and reactions to different situations; secrets and easter eggs; music and visual style — all made by [b]ONE PERSON[/b], who, on top of everything, keeps adding new content completely for free (update 2.3). Honestly, this is exactly the kind of project RPG Maker exists for. I've beaten the game twice, unlocked every achievement — and I still haven't "absorbed" all the content the game has to offer. The replayability here gets my special respect. The game is worth every penny, and then some. At $10 (or $6 on sale), it's practically a gift, when similar projects are out there charging $50. I sincerely hope the game sells in huge numbers, that the developer's efforts pay off big time, and that even more projects like this come out in the future.[spoiler]And yeah, I also hope it ends up with a (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cringe) fandom, as usually happens with good projects — because thanks to them, the main income flows and word of mouth does its thing, which is also good.[/spoiler] [hr][/hr] Also, a huge separate thank you to the people who translated the game into Russian and keep the translation up to date: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3649153121 You did an amazing job too! <3
