Neofeud

Neofeud is certainly a game. It's janky, it's buggy, it has lots of weird interactions and triggers. The art is... something else; it feels like some sort of collage of things, sometimes it's blurry, sometimes it's razor sharp... Dialogue can be cheesy, a bit too exposition-y and not really subtle... But the game has soul, and you can feel it. A passion project if I've seen one. Sometimes I wish it gave a bit more agency to the player (I loved the apartment section when you decide what passes or not). Also, Proto-J, my beloved, I'll kill for you.

¡Viva la revolución!

This cyberpunk adventure game about a dystopian future is a story rich game with accessibility options for those who'd prefer to read it, listen or both. Options for narration include adjusting the speed of narration. I've only begun this game, being exceptionally slow getting started in ALL new games. So much so I've got an embarrassing number of them played for all of 10 minutes. I won't play games that frustrate me for very long, I cant puzzle anything out when i'm actually frustrated, So, I quit before tolerance is reached. NEOFEUDs engaging story, art and music keep me coming back to try again. I've found myself using it to *fingers crossed* teach myself frustration tolerance with low stakes in play. BTW gaming-in-general can teach one many things in a low stakes/ low risk/ low pressure environment. Neofeud's engaging STORY, ART AND MUSIC keep me coming back again and again. To try again, and hopefully THIS Time I'll figure out the next step, or maybe the next. At the moment, its a trigger happy guard that is thwarting me. but... I'll be back! *review written by a disabled gamer and owner of this game, NEOFEUD, because I purchased it when it was on sale. consider it if you love a good story and appreciate a perspective from an intersectional standpoint. #landback

this is the first game i've refunded in like 10 years. i bought it for the art and my love of point n clicks and cyborg stuff. refunded it in under 30 mins of play because of all the ick. this game made me say "yikes" waay too many times in that very first scene, then after i looked up some more of the game on YT, i decided to get my money back. there's racism and tone deaf comparisons and just lots of cringe in the rest of this game. and all that is stuck inside bad voice acting and mountains of dialogue. not even the art could save it (which is a bummer cuz i thought it looked really cool!) big nope from me.

Neofeud is a brutally poignant story that differs from other modern cyberpunk games that often miss the mark with their surface level interpretation of anti-capitalist ideology. Instead of dancing around the subject, Neofeud goes all in with its harsh critique of Western imperialism and striking satirical commentary on the class war present within capitalist societies. This is Detroit Become Human and Cyberpunk 2077 if it was written by a person who understood class struggle. Presented visually with a lo-fi yet exquisitely charming art style, it's difficult not to take a liking to Neofeud based on the imagery you're presented with. It's like if PilotRedSun and CBoyardee created a video game akin to Cruelty Squad together! A smorgasbord of relevant pop culture references are woven within the very fabric of the game, most notably Neuromancer by William Gibson, one of the most relevant pieces of media in the Cyberpunk genre. (which i have still yet to read! :( boo me!) While I find it difficult to find flaws with Neofeud, something that really stood out to me is a lot of characters are exaggerated stereotypes that drag down the narrative. For example, [spoiler]Proto-J’s dialogue reads like a caricature of a Hollywood rapper with n-word bombs that implode everywhere within his characterization. Sybil is quite literally referred to in-game as a "manic pixie dream girl,"[/spoiler] which feels jarring in a story otherwise thoughtful. I experienced some bugs, one which did not allow me to progress to the end of the story, but I was helped very quickly by the developer, Silver Spoon, on the discussion forum within a matter of hours. I understand that this is not a Triple A title and rather someone's well executed passion project, so I'll let it slide. Thanks! I bought this game on a whim when I still used Mastodon and saw a post about it by chance. I didn't play it for years because I didn't have the time. When I did, it obviously did not disappoint. I will be gifting Neofeud to a close friend of mine and will be closely awaiting the release of Neofeud 2.

I bought this coz I came across the creator on twitter. A bit of a random purchase but over an hour in and I'm enjoying it. The punk capitalist dystopia vibe, the characters, the humour, the art. Good stuff. I usually have limited patience for point and click gameplay, but I'll see how this one goes.

This is a fun and cool game! I am probably half way through it but I decided it was already time to give this game and its developer/creator their flowers. The world of Neofeud is incredibly well written which gives the depth and richness of the characters and the story real weight. You become immersed in this hellish near-future world and all that it entails. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. I also love that it's point and click so I have a hand free to sip my cold beverage and eat my snacks while I game. Win-win!

You look upon a work like this extreme and immediatly know its either brilliance or diarrhea. So far it appears to be brilliance. I just finished the first act, maybe I will continue this review later. Update: I have finished the second act, and have lost faith in the game. It is starting to appear like a millenial paint by numbers Leftist Politics piece. In the last scene I believe almost every single sentence contained some pop culture reference. I thought the game's first scene where you essentially stop George Zimmerman or whatever was some kind of tongue in cheek, but its possible this game is jjust "White people bad. Innequality bad. Immigrants good." But with a beautiful coat of varnish? I originally thought this was gunna be some kind of demented 125 IQ Romp, but is this game just Rick and Morty but with Race Communism?

I haven't finished the the game yet but my thoughts so far are instant classic, based, groovy soundtrack 10/10

Neofeud is an excellent point and click adventure game, with a compelling story set in 2033. Feudalism has made an unwelcome return ('neofeudalism'), as there is a noticeable divide between the haves and have-nots. What is remarkable about this game is that is was mostly made by one man, Christian Miller, who did the story, art, music, and voice acted several of the characters (including the main character, Karl Carbon), among other things. I found the soundtrack every catchy, with the inclusion of dialup modem sounds as a stroke of genius. I highly recommend this game to adventure game fans.
