Many Nights a Whisper

[h1]La parábola[/h1] Eres una joven que ha sido elegida y entrenada durante 10 años lanzando bolas de fuego hacia un pebetero. Su misión marcará el destino de su pueblo. Si acierta, su pueblo estará orgulloso de ella; si no, su fracaso la marcará de por vida. Así empieza un juego de 1 hora de duración en el que, a lo inauguración de Barcelona '92, tienes que jugártelo todo en un solo lanzamiento en la noche de marras. De inicio, la joven no tendrá mucha fuerza para los lanzamientos a larga distancia y deberemos practicar durante varios días para afinar la parábola perfecta con diferentes pebeteros puestos a distinta lejanía. Pero aquí está la segunda parte del juego. Cada noche previa al evento tendremos algunas personas que nos confesarán sus plegarias y podremos cumplir sus deseos si llegamos a encender el pebetero. Si aceptamos concederles ese deseo, tendremos que cortarles la coleta a cambio. El pelo de esta coleta lo utilizaremos para elaborar nuestra honda (o tirachinas) y así poder aumentar la distancia de tiro. [u][b]Pros:[/b][/u] ✅ Un ejemplo de la tensión por presentarse a un examen final. ✅ El momento confesionario y decidir cada plegaria. ✅ Precio aceptable. [u][b]Contras:[/b][/u] ❌ The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall. [u][b]Conclusión:[/b][/u] Un juego corto sobre jugárselo todo a un único lanzamiento. Pero, más allá del resultado, habla del miedo al fracaso, de las expectativas que cargamos sobre nuestros hombros y de cómo seguimos adelante cuando las cosas no salen como esperábamos.

Quite impressive. Though the main objective of the game is to simply hone your slingshot skills for the big finale event, the narrative under it, how it tells about the guise of control and the uncertainty of your choices is where this game is really at. As a Dreamer you have the power to take or not take people's wishes. At first it seems you're in control of all, and you perceive each of them as independent tales with no connections whatsoever. But then your dreams right after show you these visions (often ominous) of how the wishers' lives are intertwined with each other, causing unintended outcomes. Are they legitimate premonitions, mere possibilities or just an illusionary thought the protagonist is having? The game doesn't elaborate. Regardless, the thought lingers, and you begin to take wishes in a more careful manner just in case. But the catch. You NEED to take wishes to achieve your sole goal of lighting the furthest brazier more easily, because the number of wishes taken is directly linked to your sling's capability. The way the game pressures you into this dilemma is fairly well executed, especially for such a simply made game. Many Nights a Whisper is by content wise, only a slice worth of what you would normally expect from a game, but the price clearly reflects it, and the lasting impression it gives makes this worthy of giving a chance. Recommended. End note: I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the shot.

安心与信赖的Deconstructeam，作品质量一如既往的高。无法回头的命运，细腻温柔的情感，美丽多元的性别表达，思想实验和道德判断，以往作品中熟悉的元素似乎能都在这里找到影子。更困惑的少年角色和更洞彻的导师角色的搭配也是老熟人了（[strike]阿卡拉：我也是少年角色吗对你也是魔童也是童[/strike]）。 结发为弓，饮食饮水，[i]有人许愿月亮消失，却忘记抹去“月亮”一词。从此，世人皆知夜空无月，却难以回想起月亮为何物[/i]。从各方面来说都很有诗意和禅意的一个电子随笔。某种意义上我甚至觉得这是DST发挥得最好的一次(?) 这种篇幅有限的幻想小品就很适合扬长避短有没有懂的。 [hr][/hr] [h2]接下来是比较个人向的剧情讨论[/h2] 首先游戏剧情很简单，没有其他旁支，所有叙事都集中在梦者以及她所承担的使命上从一开始，玩家就会被告知这是一个关于“点火”这一特定任务的故事：[i]若一发中的，族人所祈皆将成真，十年的繁荣与和平将随之降临；倘若失手，灾祸便会延续十载，所有心愿亦将随风消散。[/i]被选中执行仪式的梦者的反应和大多数人是相似的，有点不安和紧张，但更多的是因为被选中执行这项仪式而感到自豪，并希冀做更多练习以完成这十年间的使命。仪式和使命之外，她本身也是个可爱的青少年，对许多事情有自己的看法，会和导师开玩笑，[spoiler]她还有一位在尘世中守望她的母亲。[/spoiler] 随着游戏时间的推进，梦者和玩家一直在等待的重头戏也逐渐逼近。导师告诉梦者[spoiler]“纠结于某个成功...某个失败...对你来说...没有好处。你只需要....品味成功...品味失败...并把它融化在生活中”[/spoiler]。之后便是仪式的执行。仪式失败后的梦者告诉玩家[spoiler]“不管怎样，过了今天，你就死去了。从今往后，那都是另一个人的事....你搞砸了...但是...你也自由了”[/spoiler] 对命运中的重大失败和成功而言，这是两个足够好的解说吗？扪心自问，我认为这两种回答都没有真正说服我，它们仍然显得有些中庸和平和。人其实是很难就这么接受一些东西的，至少对我这样的普通人而言。我一直觉得DST很擅长发问，但不长于回答，在我玩过的三款游戏中，这种感觉都很明显（某种意义上很符合制作组的名字）。但与此同时，我自己也同样没有足够的智慧去说出其他更好、更透彻的答案。 不过也许有人会说：更勤奋地练习、更审慎地发射，就能赢得这场仪式、下一次仪式、乃至所有仪式，不就可以了吗？uh-uh☝️☝️，首先，人总是会失败的，或者一时失利，或者始终未能成功，这都是常有的事。其次正如游戏里发生的那样，命运没有存档点（[strike]坦克没有后视镜[/strike]），人实际上无法预知当下的自己究竟是不够审慎、白白浪费了机会，还是过于审慎、反而错失了机会。影视里执着于回到过去改变命运的人最终总会发现，命运其实是一个无法预测的混沌系统，一切都无法重来。 活着是一张单程票。人怎么数以万天地在世界上存在始终是一个无法逃避的问题。 一些人有的是清晰的志业，一些人有的是在某个阶段必须要承担的责任，尽管这些责任可能是非自愿的甚至近似于先赋的；也有人处于两者交织的状态，手里的事物既像一种神圣的志业，又像一桩不得不承受的苦役，就像游戏中被选中的梦者一样。但无论哪种情形，人似乎都在这两种处境中难辞其咎。如何在志业和责任的夹缝，或者余波中度过一生？这个问题也大概还会困扰我很久。 但我确实从这个游戏中体会到了一丝宽慰和解脱，这可能就是这2.5个小时人生的意义吧。 [h3]希望你所有梦想都得以实现。 或者不实现。有时许愿会很危险。[/h3]

What a cool game that really makes you consider the consequences of your choices. Highly recommended.

5/10 would read this book series + 3$ - gameplay is awful + story is interesting. - achievement whory

Great emotional and unique story telling done in such a brief playtime.

[h3]A nice, short game that makes you think about wishes and dreams[/h3] There are mainly two sides to this game. One is more philosophical and purely text-based. It is the part where you make choices, listen to people, and force yourself to think. It is not a game about making correct moral choices. It has no big pressure or predefined answer for what you should consider a good dream worth fulfilling, or a bad wish that is going to ruin someone's life. You are free to do what you want. And that is the most important part: this game lets you peacefully consider what you actually think about people's dreams. Everyone has one, and many of our dreams are hidden deep inside. This game becomes a perfectly safe space for your own self-reflection, your own values in life, and maybe even your own sense of purpose. The second part is basically a third-person shooting section, where you spot targets and try to hit them. This was fun and felt like a little puzzle game. I did not even realize that sometimes you have to shoot boats? Anyway, this is a simple, purely mechanical part that tests your skills. And... it adds a TON of pressure! This game, after all, is about making ONE SHOT. Everything, literally everything, the whole point of the game, pressures you to do only one thing. One time. No retries, no excuses. And it felt... scary? I think this game absolutely nails the feeling of great responsibility. It is just a small game, and yet it makes you feel like this is the most important arrow you will ever shoot in any video game. It is a good game, yes. Not a masterpiece, but it does not even try to be one. And what it was trying to achieve, it hit straight on target.

Amazing. Must-feel.

不是很推荐也不是完全不推荐，red string和sisterhood之后对这个工作室的期待太高了，前两者的文本量能够撑起一个比较厚重的故事，whisper有点太浮在表面了，不管哪一个topic都没有深入下去，同意有up说像做高考题的感觉...做出的选择没有改变故事的任何一方面...可能是因为单一玩法没办法拓展的的问题吧。 btw，感觉简中的本地化不是特别好，看完英文全流程才get到多一点，但是15块钱要啥自行车。。
