Mu Complex

This used to be such a good game, and I would have recommended this game before, but the code that is needed to proceed on one of the levels is no longer being generated (I'm guessing it's when twitter became x and the developer didn't update the game to account for this), so the game is now unplayable from this point on.

Forcing me to search for old articles (which are behind paywalls) and to read religious texts. Nah bro, i'm here to play a fun puzzler not read religious BS or play "google it" simulator. To make it worse, that background noise (i think they want to call it music / ambience) is awful. Was fun for a few minutes, then it got annoying.

Nope- I'm done. Eddywolvers, go to hell. I don't mind interesting puzzles, even brain teasers- but clear violation of PEMDAS for the sake of a poorly designed puzzle is just inexcusable.

Clunky, slow and not very logical for a puzzle game. --- You start out needing to log in to a computer terminal, what kind of system lets you just ask for the log in password and let you log in with it? You log in and "finding the password" was treated as a test? It literally only required typing the word password to find it. And the game tells you that it was surprised you could accomplish this; really? It doesn't really get any better after this. The interface is tiny and can't be adjusted, in fact there's no options for display at all so if you have a large screen you are locked into tiny text and a poor UI design. The story continues on through more nonsense puzzles like the first one, open a file, find the word you need to enter for the next puzzle, continue. It's mediocre once, and it's tedious if this is the main interaction with the game repeatedly. It's about as fun as using windows explorer to investigate what's taking up space on your hard drive and cleaning out old temp files. There's so many flaws in the way this is written and the way you interact with it, you sit at a computer terminal but can't even scroll up the window (which has a scroll bar) because it's just a visual gimmick, nah you get to resend commands over again to relist things in the tiny context window. And even more strange is the game requires you to look up information outside of the game (in another web browser) in order to make progress, but the games not stable enough to stay open all the time when you do. I hit a few puzzles that you needed to go do out-of-game research to pass and the game would crash frequently when it wasn't the focused window. For such a simple game you would think it would be stable, but no. Game length will also be completely subjective. The actual content (reading material and audio narration) is far less than an hour long. Any length of play-time you get from the game will be browsing for answers (in or out of game) to find the password to the next snippet of narration. Overall this is a neat idea and I actually do think there might be some people who will enjoy it, but it's going to be a very niche audience and I'm not going to recommend it for most people. It's just not well presented, it's missing basic functional tools and it's insultingly glitchy on top of that. If you are mildly curious about the story, go look up a speed run for each episode and you'll get to see the entire 10 minutes of game content and the slightly interesting (and easily predictable) ending. [spoiler]Gee, what always happens when you "free" an AI?[/spoiler] EDIT: I guess I should point out there's a demo just in case you didn't notice, so if you really wanted to see if this is for you, you can try it for free. --- Bottom line: The steam backgrounds for this game are better than the game, and less prone to crashing. --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?[/url] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/kunovega/recommended/]Want to read all of my reviews and not just the curated ones?[/url]

Ожидал интересную головоломку, в итоге получил...что-то несколько другое. Эта игра могла бы быть интересной, но у неё есть одна серьёзная проблема, которая бьёт по многим местам и лишает всякого удовольствия. Проблема, о которой я говорю, - необходимость пользоваться внешними (внеигровыми ресурсами) для прохождения. К тому же в игре никогда прямо не говорится, что тебе нужно искать что-то ВНЕ игры. К чему это приводит: - портится атмосфера от прохождения, т.к. тебе нередко приходится скакать между окнами - нельзя быть полностью уверенным что ты делаешь всё правильно (как предусмотрел разработчик) - повышается вероятность увидеть больше, чем планировал (непреднамеренный просмотр гайдов) - большая привязка к работоспособности сайтов/интернета (один из паззлов уже нельзя выполнить как предусматривал разработчик из-за того, что один конкретный сайт стал платным, т.е. самостоятельно уже не пройдёшь) - лично у меня игра иногда зависала при смене окон и приходилось её перезапускать несколько раз Сюжет здесь минимален и что-то проявляется только под конец игры. Интерфейс немного пустоват (во время прохождения), из-за чего кажется, что чего-то не хватает. Я НЕ советую покупать эту игру, если вы просто рассчитываете на лёгкую идеальную игру. Некоторые достижения получить проблематично (как я понимаю, не повезло обладателям Windows 10). Если вас просто заинтересовала игра - пробуйте на свой страх и риск. Я разочаровался. Возможно, вам она понравится больше.

Bad resolution that cannot be adapted (tiny tiny text), alright puzzles - but without the ability to copy paste its a real drag (and have I mentioned tiny tiny text which breaks your eyes?). Kinda 'meh' - would not recommend to purchase for full price.

great game

和解谜相关的外部资源虽然发生了变化，但是游戏还是能玩的。 1. 芝加哥论坛报对历史老报纸实行收费制，但是单页报纸的预览图就已经足够给出答案了。 2. 推特改名X，导致自动生成密文的脚本失效，但是可以通过修改电脑的日期，让脚本在过去生成的密文再次生效。 不过不足也有，Steam游戏时长记录和成就系统好像有点问题，另外游戏播放彩蛋动画的时候容易闪退。 In spite of some changes in puzzle-related resources outside the game, the game is still playable. 1. Chicago Tribune archive is asking for paid subscriptions, but the preview of single page is enough for showing answers. 2. Twitter is now X, disabling the passphrase-generating script, but the date in PC could be changed, to make a passphrase generated in the past become valid again. Still, there are a few cons. Playtime and achievement system on Steam don't seem to work correctly, and the game crashes easily when playing the bonus animation.

Requirements to player's cultural knowledge is too high. Developer is clearly not aware some people are not their exact copies. Also some puzzles have become literally unsolvable in an intended way due to some game-unrelated things.
