[h3]Следуй за движением своего Сердца[/h3] Нетривиальная визуальная новелла, где нам придется сделать [spoiler]банальный[/spoiler] не весьма очевидный выбор - девушка или работа? В игре как несложно догадаться разные концовки. На нишевого любителя новеллок. Достижений в игру к сожалению не завезли.

[h1] ВИЗУАЛЬНАЯ НОВЕЛЛА НА СКОРУЮ РУКУ [/h1] [code] [b] Motion of Heart, [/b] она же "Движение сердца" в русской версии - визуальная новелла от разработчика Mint Tea, Stakhanov G Inc., изданная КиКо. Игра вышла в Steam в апреле 2020 года и на данный момент имеет чуть более 50 отзывов, 63% положительных, что в сумме дает "смешанный" рейтинг. Что не понравилось лично мне - рассказываю ниже. [/code] [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ О ЧЕМ? ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] В основе сюжета - обыденная картина для многих молодых семейных пар. Парень по имени Алексей зашивается на работе, всецело отдавая себя заработку денег и не обращая внимания на красавицу-жену. У последней в определенный момент из-за этого сносит крышу, и она пишет записку, что собирается самоубиться, заботливо подписав адрес предполагаемого места действия. Наш герой, в угоду так называемому "интерактиву", поначалу напрочь забывает, где что находится и куда ему бежать, и лишь чудом находит путь к заброшенной старой больнице возле своего дома, где его ждет вполне себе живая женушка с набором готовых упреков и претензий. Таймер на бомбе включен, отсчет пошел - и только от Ваших правильно подобранных слов будет зависеть исход дальнейших действий. Для несведущего игрока вышеописанное, возможно, даже прозвучит несколько интригующе - но все сюрпризы безжалостно разбиваются о тот факт, что все происходящее укладывается буквально в 10 минут прохождения, если не меньше. Игра выглядит максимально сыро, набросочно и просто ни о чем, начиная от артов и музыки и заканчивая текстами. Диалоги безумно топорные, да еще местами как будто орфография и пунктуация в русской версии ( в английскую даже не стал соваться) прихрамывает на обе ноги. В наличии имеется несколько концовок, но учитывая исполнение и длительность самой игры, это смотрится максимально не к месту. [u] [b] ๑۩۩๑ СТОИТ ЛИ ИГРАТЬ? ๑۩۩๑ [/b] [/u] Только за этот год я прошел уже больше дюжины бесплатных визновелл с просто фантастической проработкой, живыми персонажами и интересными сюжетами, даже в коротком хронометраже - здесь же налицо абсолютная халтура, за которую автор(ы) не постеснялись выставить пускай небольшой, но ценник к оплате. Не то, чтобы мне было жалко 8 рублей по скидке, но сам факт того, что вот это продается за деньги, воспринимается не иначе, как какое-то надувательство. Хотя, оно и в бесплатном сегменте будет выглядеть не менее халтурно. [code] Ищете интересные игры, но боитесь выбрать то, что не понравится?

Отношения «Motion Of The Heart» — это игра с элементами визуальной новеллы и выбором, выпущенная 2 апреля 2020 года. В ней рассказывается история Алексея и Ангелины, пары, столкнувшейся с проблемой в отношениях из-за чрезмерной занятости Алексея на работе. Игроку предстоит разобраться в ситуации, понять причины и помочь Алексею принять сложное решение. Сюжет: В этой 15-минутной игре есть две концовки. Меня удивило, что они зависят от последнего диалога, который показался мне довольно странным. Обычно концовки зависят от последнего принятого решения, но здесь, на мой взгляд, диалог был глуповат. Я понял это, пройдя игру ещё раз. Так же есть замечание: выбор из пяти перекрестков я не оценил. Итог: Новелла очень честно рассказывает об отношениях, и я не завидую нашему герою, независимо от того, какая концовка ему досталась. Прохождение: https://youtu.be/7qtHnhEkMDk
Motion Of The Heart is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written, badly translated Russian dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This e-book was slapped together with the godawfully bad RenPy Visual Novel/E-Book construction kit, so just like no professional writing took place here, no professional game development took place either, it's just a product of filling out templates in the construction kit. This is particularly attractive to Russian asset flippers, too. This E-book features Choose-Your-Own-Adventure elements where you make some decisions that don't do anything to change the fact this is just an E-Book. Nobody finished reading a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book and said "Boy, what a great game I just played!". Because E-books aren't games. And neither is this. It's short, it's pointless, it's Russian shovelware. Artwork and background imagery are also asset flipped/stolen from someone else and not attributed to the original creators. Mint Tea/Stakhanov G Inc./КиКо have a known history of trying to scam people into paying them money for someone else's work. One example of Mint Tea/Stakhanov G Inc./КиКо doing this is [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1053650]Drive For Your Life[/url], which is really the "[url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/zombie-drive-full-game-template-73074]Zombie Drive - Full Game Template[/url]" asset, written by the actual developers, Puppeteer. The poor quality of this E-book is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak reader number was only 3 readers. That's right, only 3. And they were just the fake review accounts idling the E-book so they could write their fake reviews. It's also important to note the "developer" here has connections to a number of shady Russian asset flippers and review manipulators who show an organised pattern to scam and defraud gamers with fake reviews and asset flipping the work of others for profit. While reviews are about the games, gamers should be informed when developers act unethically. Whether these connections are the same developer using multiple accounts, or just working closely with other unethical developers, gamers should be warned about the harm to gamers by this developer and their associates. Buying games from unethical developers puts your money at risk. [quote][url=https://mmofallout.com/valve-bans-titles-for-review-manipulation/]Warning: Review Manipulation![/url][/quote] This game features a number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. You can get better quality books and comics for free online or from public libraries, or from bookstores for a fraction of the price of this "game". Steam isn't a comic book store, neither is it Netflix, it's for games. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. It's impossible for me to recommend things to PC gamers that aren't really games. And you certainly shouldn't by them from Russian asset flip scammers.
Çöp bir oyun daha.
стремные фоны, недожатая история, короткая.
Finished this game 3 times. Look at my playtime. I don't have anything against short games. Some of the most engaging games I've played were really short. But this story has like 3 or 4 options, that's it. That's not short, that's a long blink.
Motion Of The Heart is a narrative-driven visual novel developed by Mint Tea and Stakhanov G Inc., and published by КиКо. Rather than relying on elaborate fantasy settings or dramatic action sequences, the game tells a personal story about love, priorities, and the consequences of emotional neglect. The plot revolves around Alex, a hardworking man whose devotion to his job gradually creates distance between him and his girlfriend, Angelina. What begins as a seemingly ordinary relationship eventually reaches a breaking point, forcing Alex to confront the effects of the choices he has made. The game's central theme is one that many players may find familiar. It examines the challenge of balancing career ambitions with personal relationships, highlighting how even good intentions can lead to unexpected damage when communication begins to fade. The story presents a realistic conflict rather than an exaggerated one, making its emotional core more relatable. As players progress through the narrative, they are encouraged to reflect on the importance of attention, understanding, and maintaining meaningful connections with loved ones. Gameplay follows the traditional visual novel formula, placing emphasis on reading dialogue and making decisions that influence the direction of the story. The choices are designed to shape the outcome of Alex's journey and determine which ending players receive. While the mechanics are uncomplicated, they serve the narrative well by giving players a sense of involvement in the unfolding events. The straightforward design makes the game accessible even to those who have little experience with visual novels. Visually, Motion Of The Heart adopts a simple presentation that prioritizes storytelling over spectacle. Character artwork and backgrounds effectively support the emotional tone without becoming distracting. The soundtrack complements the narrative with soft and fitting music that helps reinforce key moments throughout the story. Although the production values are modest, the presentation succeeds in creating a comfortable atmosphere that matches the game's intimate focus. One of the game's strengths is its ability to communicate a meaningful message within a short amount of time. The narrative remains focused and avoids unnecessary detours, allowing players to quickly reach the heart of the story. However, this brevity can also be viewed as a limitation. The short runtime means that certain characters and situations are not explored as deeply as they could have been. Some players may finish the game wishing there had been additional scenes, more detailed character development, or greater exploration of the emotional conflicts introduced early in the story. The writing succeeds in delivering the intended message, though the overall narrative remains fairly simple. The story is sincere and earnest in its approach, but it lacks the complexity and depth found in larger visual novels. Because of its limited scope, the emotional impact depends heavily on how much players connect with the themes being presented. Those who appreciate smaller, character-focused stories will likely find more value in the experience than players searching for intricate plot twists or extensive branching narratives. Despite its shortcomings, Motion Of The Heart offers a thoughtful and heartfelt experience. Its focus on everyday relationship struggles helps distinguish it from many visual novels that rely on more fantastical premises. The game's message about appreciating the people closest to us resonates throughout the narrative and gives the story a sense of purpose beyond simple entertainment. While it may not leave a lasting impression on every player, it succeeds in presenting a meaningful lesson in an accessible and easy-to-finish format. Overall, Motion Of The Heart is a modest but sincere visual novel that delivers a relatable story about love, responsibility, and personal growth. Its straightforward gameplay, emotional themes, and multiple endings provide enough substance for a brief narrative experience, even if the short length prevents it from reaching its full potential. Players looking for a quick story-driven game with a grounded message may find it worthwhile, while those seeking a more expansive visual novel may feel that the experience ends too soon. Rating: 6/10
A Short Visual Novel with 4 options and 4 endings, Honey I am home, StranGe, the lights are off and there´s a strange NOTE that says. " I am in abandoned hospital near us".... Something is happening.
Better Than I Thought~
