Once in Flowerlake

Once in Flowerlake is a 3D low poly plodding adventure game. You're an old man who works in a snowed in hut surrounded by electric force fields in some kind of post apocalyptic science fiction scenario. Your job is to keep a few machines running by a laborious process of trudging around them in a circle... but then some strangers show up outside the barrier and the story kicks off. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric design. It's unclear why this game was never accepted on the video game console appliances it seems to have been designed for. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 8 players. That's right, only 8. This is a pitiful enough number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is remarkable, but also to be expected. This complete and utter rejection of the game from gamers should be a keen information point for anyone considering buying shovelware like this. Gamers just didn't take this seriously, and for good reason. [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. Once in Flowerlake has the almost scam-like price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer.

It is a nice little game about an hour to complete. the price tag of 0.39 eur was totally worth it.certianly has some flaws but stilla good game

O jogo parece uma demo , normalmente eu daria uma analise negativa , mas como eu vi potencial e o estudio é indie. Eu resolvi n cometer essa mancada. O jogo precisa de muitas adições , principalmente quanto a historia, e aumentar as horas de gameplay. O jogo foi tediante muitas vezes , eu adoro walking simulators porem esse n me desceu , nem trilha sonora parece que tem. O sistema de andar em um jogo sobre andar é muito ruim, precisa de muitos acrescimos porem eu vejo potencial. O maior ponto forte do jogo é ambientação e graficos , porem isso n consegue o tornar bom

Пустышка с плохо настроенной камерой, плохим управлением и очень медленным хождением

O jogo é legal, um pouco desafiador e com uma historia interessante.

I liked the atmosphere but almost there is nothing to do. It is a boring experience, the game itself is empty. This is a personal review so someone else may not think same.

A história de fundo é o clássico apocalipse cibernético, mundo tomado por máquinas, mas a mensagem por trás é muito legal. O jogo é simples, sem muito desafio e com alguns poucos diálogos e a movimentação do personagem incomoda um pouco de vez em quando, mas ainda com esse problema na movimentação ainda gostei dele. Acho que vale a pena e não é muito caro.

Its a cozy game, with a deep story

The amount of walking and the limited environment makes this a "hard avoid"!
