Mechanism

Купив гру чисто із-за того що мені випала на неї знижка у 75 відсотків, та несподівано для мене гра була цікава і я її повністю пройшов, можу сміло рекомендовати)

Okay so I have been playing this game for a few hours and so far I think it is quite cool but the bugs and glitches just take out the fun for me right now :/ The game crashed randomly once, even though I didn't run anything in the background and I randomly died twice even though I wasn't infected or fell from something. Overall there are sometimes visual glitches that I don't mind too much. However the audio glitching does really drive me a little nuts. Whenever I adjust the sound effects and backgroundmusic in the settings they just apply for the session you play in. And sometimes the music completly glitches and randomly stops. Also any time you die the alarm clock in your room is reset and gives off again the beeping sound, even when you don't wake up in that room. Save feature also only sometimes seem to work for me, as it did spawn me somewhere far away from the photomachines at least three times. I also feel like the save feature is a bit clunky, because you have to manually go to a checkpoint to save. Plus I had the issue where items randomly dissapeared when I saved. By closing and opening the game they were there again but still :/ I am also playing on PC and the controls are sometimes a bit cluncky. BUT! Otherwise the game is actually pretty cool. The world looks really cool and the visuals are just stunning in general. I also really like the character designs. Especially of the tiny robots, they look so adorable, especially with their little scarfs!! The puzzles are pretty cool too but I have to admit that I was pretty overwhelmed at first because you are pretty much left to your own devices and have to figure everything out on your own. The snails who give you tips are cool but some of the tips had me go "Yeah no ♥♥♥♥ Sherlock, I know that I should go there but I don't know how and if I go in there what do I have watch out for specifically?" I ended up watching videos of people who played the game as well to see what their solutions to the problems were. It did help, but took quite a bit of time to find the hint that I needed. Usually it was just one tiny thing I missed and when I found out what it was, it did became easier to play for a good 20 minutes before I was stuck again. For the story itself, it does seem interesting but it is more "show don't tell" type of thing. Which is pretty cool imo. So some stuff is left to the imagination. I wonder if at the end there will be some sort of conclusion where you will find some more out. All this considered - it is super impressive for a single developer! And I hope you continue your work, as I do think this game as great potential and I can see that a lot of work and effort went into this. If steam would allow neutral reviews this would be my choice. But since steam unfortunatly doesn't work like that I will leave a negative one due to the bugs and glitches, sorry :(
