Lottery Center Simulator

[quote][i]This is the [b]32nd[/b] review of the Steam Redlight series, a series where I purposely seek out negatively or controversially rated games on Steam to see if they're as bad as the Internet says they are. It's accompanied by a video review that can be found [b][url=https://youtu.be/zpdCjLMExfc]here[/url][/b].[/i][/quote] [b]In summary, I don’t recommend this game, and as a numerical score I’d give it a 1/10[/b]. The game is not explained well at all in addition to the game having a few game-breaking bugs. [h2]Introduction[/h2] In short, the idea is that you run a lottery center, while possessing the ability to use your funds to build hospitals and marketplaces. The only reason I can think of that is because it’s in your best interest to keep your customers [i]alive[/i] so you can continue selling to them. When you launch Lottery Center Simulator, you’re asked by the developer to read the manual. Once you do, you [i]should[/i] be ready to go, but we’ll get back to this later. You start the game and you start off with a couple tens of thousands to start building your lottery empire. ...and that’s when it all goes south. [h2]The Good[/h2] ...but first, an intermission. The game caused me lots of laughs. From the realization that this game was only 97 megabytes in total. That it had no desktop icon or library icon. There wasn’t a single sound in the game. The buttons wouldn’t stay within their cells. The cars that drive through each other. The black text that blends in with the black background. That you can place buildings anywhere, even in the middle of the street, or even within each other. ...and that was a bit of what I experienced. I know the game doesn’t intend it, but it happened, and I had some laughs. So there was some enjoyment, just not for the right reasons. Anyways, onto what really is the core of the problem. [h2]The Ungood[/h2] All of the above is totally negligible if the game was able to be experienced, mostly at all. The manual I mentioned earlier isn’t useful in the slightest, and left me with just as many questions. Part of it does fall to translation issue, which would be fine to overlook if it didn’t become so detrimental to the game. You essentially operate from a singular sheet that is also poorly explained — I can’t tell what each number I enter is intending on accomplishing, so the only intended game play loop was unable to be experienced. Secondly, the game had crashed two times in my twenty minute playtime. Once was just because I’d hit the [b]Details[/b] button trying to figure out how to run the lottery system, and the other is because I discovered that if you bump the price up and change the [b]Init Numbers[/b] box to some long number, you get millions of dollars, and that’s how you corner the real estate market. If you submit a number too long, the game can’t handle it and it crashes. which is reasonable. Those two points are pretty strong, and if you tie it in with all the smaller details that I had chuckled at, the game just lacks any detail and it’s hard to justify putting in effort when the game itself is lacking it in turn. [h2]The End[/h2] Well, that’s about it. The game doesn’t have a lot of content, so I can’t write that much. cya.
