Nyanco

A challenging game full of tricks and hidden methods to progress further. Definitely recommend if you want to poke around an anime adventure game with good humor. Also somewhat lewd. Total length is usually 2 hours or so, but that's from having to take a while to try and figure out how to advance. Will post full gameplay on this review soon, which can serve as a tutorial (however it was not edited for convenience). EDIT: Here's my gameplay of Nyanco. Mostly everything is shown, as I didn't record it to be a walkthrough but it can work if you know how to put pieces together. https://youtu.be/jccZwnpMy8c

Nyanco is a very interesting game. It's an indie title that is short but sweet, seems easy but is actually quite tricky beneath the surface. The game starts by a mysterious voice telling the player or Nyanco that a bomb has been placed inside her heart (seems kinda cruel but plot is plot no hard feelings XD) that will prevent the player from moving left or right period unless they want an instant game over. This remains as a prominent rule throughout the entirety of the game up until about the end of it. The game also presents itself as a type of puzzle or brain teaser of sorts because of this. As well as it asks the player to think outside of the box for a few different scenarios which was more than welcome to me as it is extremely inventive compared to all the other RPGMaker clone games out there. When it comes to other things like making specific choices I recommend utilizing the ability of being able to save anywhere as this game can be unforgiving almost instantly and it will come straight out of left field for people unprepared. Picking one wrong dialogue choice or failing to act quickly enough can result in an instant game over for the player. Some people may find that aspect unappealing but if they pay attention and try hard enough these moments and puzzles really aren't that difficult especially if the player utilizes the save anywhere system. This game with it's arbitrary and random game overs kind of reminds me of two other games named "Unfair Mario and Takeshi's Challenge" but Nyanco is not to that degree of unforgiving difficulty it just shares similar aspects. The story is kind of underdeveloped but this obviously isn't meant to be a story driven game to begin with. When it comes to if a game is good for me it must excel at one of two things. - Having good or unorthodox/exciting mechanics - Having a good story or plot line that is enjoyable to listen to and follow. Now while Nyanco doesn't necessarily follow the latter it definitely follows the former. About the art in the game, Nyanco has a very cutesy and adorable art style and I enjoyed looking at the Nyanco images in the game. The music was easily forgettable unfortunately and some of the game over sounds were a bit...... LEWD. Lastly a lot of people were experiencing some bugs. Especially when it came to the acquisition of achievements for the game. If you are one of those people I recommend looking at the games BETA tab under it's properties in your Steam Library and changing it so you opt into the achievements version of the game. That way you achievement hunters can grab the achievements you desire. If you are still unsure on how to do that Nyanco posted a guide on how to do this and it can easily be found in the Community Hub for this game. I however did not have any issues with bugs nor did I have an issue with getting the achievements. To sum it all up, while being short, Nyanco is a sweet, lightly lewd but entertaining and slightly brain teasing game well worth it's small price. I recommend giving it a play through. I look forward to playing the dev's other games and am looking forward to both their translation works and original works in the future to come.

It's a pretty good game. You do the most simplest task: walk in a line. But everything's out to get you, so you have to check every single thing and save after every single puzzle you solve, because you have no clue what's going to murder you. Artwork is also cute, and the endings were good & funny. Also the menu music slaps. Maybe we should get a Nyanco hentai. All in all, it's a quick play, took me about an hour. It's worth the two dollars.

la mejor experiencia de toda mi vida

Un juego bastante peculiar, con un gameplay por lo menos interesante... Es frustrante, pero aún así logra ser satisfactorio. Este juego entre menos sepas de él es mejor... Vale la pena? Al menos para mi sí, las bromas son divertidas, su sentido del humor es ácido y es una experiencia corta, pero muy entretenida. Y pues sí, tal como dice la descripción, pruebalo si te gustan los juegos de aventuras, los personajes estilo anime y/o eres algún streamer. [Spoiler]Me gustó tanto que hasta ayudé al Dev para traducirlo al español.[/Spoiler]

Well, it's certainly an unconventional use of RPG Maker, and the artwork is adorable, but I'm not convinced that this is worth actual money...
