Max: An Autistic Journey is a game made with some requisite edition of RPG Maker. There are a lot of these games on Steam but this one's a little different. Rather than go on some ill-advised and inappropriately thought out quest with unbalanced monsters and spells this game attempts to guide you through a day (a few days actually) in the life of Max, an autistic child. Was RPG Maker the best creation suite to make this game? Probably not, but I feel like it was chosen regardless because it's one of the most accessible and easy to use game dev programs to handle. Max is a real child and this game was created by his father as an act of love. I can't hate on this game for that reason, it's just too wholesome. Max's father had a story to tell and he figured out how to do it the only way he knew how, even if that meant using RPG Maker to do some wild things. And yes this game does do some wild stuff with the RPG Maker engine. The battles are kind of hamfisted and feel janky but there are instances where you can play a musical instrument, a timed minigame where you attempt to calm down, and a couple of other oddities that make you wonder how in the world the developer figured this out using, again, RPG Maker. Max: An Autistic Journey is not the best game. It's probably closer to the edge where the worst games are all things considered, but the game is sincere in what it tries to convey and for that I say it's worth your time if only to see the curiosities on display.

I completed the game without ever working out how the breathing mechanic worked.

I recently played Max, an Autistic Journey and it was truly life-changing. This game brought my wife and kids closer together, and my wife and I even started to make love again. My kids also started to love me again after they had reported me for child abuse.
Some of the monsters just ain't child friendly some are inappropriate whilst other's are too scary and for those with ASD or Autism who want to play there is so much light sensitivity with flash photography which is ridiculously bright, its a great concept however just not well through out. I get the game needs to have some playability, too many puzzles within puzzles or missions within missions especially towards the night scene there was just too much going on imho. Overall, I genuinely appreciate the awareness on Autism and making a game on this, well done devs :)
As an autistic person this game is really relateable. Bosses are challenging but fun. Boss music is amazing. Absolutly recomend
This game works as both a fully functional rpg, and a way to educate people about autism. You can tell the creator did his research on autism and listened to other people as well. The only real problem i have is the use of the puzzle piece, which has been used in the past to demonize autism and treat it as some sort of horrible curse
?
