Oracle

Nice little walking sim. I'm not sure why all the negative reviews, especially those complaining about the pace being too slow. It's an open world walking simulator, it's supposed to be. Besides, most people should be able to complete the game in about an hour or two. Never mind my Steam time because I'm always pausing games to go do stuff, then I come back to continue, esp. when there's no saves, as with this game. Graphics aren't spectacular, but they're decent enough, and the narrator has a nice voice. Though, I will say, the story is a little odd. It started out sounding like it might be a good story, but then veered off into something weird. I didn't care though, as I mainly wanted to visit all the locations. There are 24 trigger points or locations (which coincide with an achievement), and as you reach each trigger point you hear a little bit of the story, and the story progresses this way. At the end of each short narration an achievement will pop up. It doesn't really matter which route you take, you can go in any direction, the story just flows as you hit each trigger point (location), regardless of what order you come across each location in. For .99, I think it's totally worth it, especially if you're into walking sims and open world exploration. If you're looking for puzzles or like to move fast through games, then perhaps this isn't for you.

Я не понимаю как меня в это занесло. Это не игра это чуш полная.

The game has promise, but the walking around is too loosey-goosey, by which I mean you can end up spending a lot of time getting nowhere trying to find a way through the scenery. Also I found the giant skulls to be a major distraction. I don't see how they add to the game except to suggest that the place has a history and possibly not a very savory one. Basically I found the game tedious and eventually retired with it only half finished, if that.

The Oracle's open world, the story line, the graphics and random dark humor are so precious, got me crying, guys. So damn precious, definitely recommend!

Here me out. If you want a quick-ish game to 100% and don't a walking simulator its fine. The story felt confusing, not once did it rain or have a time change like in the trailer. I am not sure if I was just too quick for it or if these were removed. I had no options to change volume and when I finished the game I couldn't exit. It was a force closed. There are better walking simulators out there but if you are a completionist, this one isn't bad to pick up.

i enjoyed exploring the different environments. beautiful scenery! there's nothing to collect or any puzzles to solve so if that's not for you then i don't recommend this game. you do get an achievement for each new environment you find & enter though which i found rewarding.

This isn't a game; even calling it a walking simulator is a stretch, as there is no progression to it. Essentially, this is a Unity 3D engine and assets demo. To make up for the lack of any world interaction, it is sweetened by fragments of a "lost love" story and showers the player with achievements that are simply "participation trophies." Visually, it does look pleasant to the eye, with some expected texture and story jank. Seriously, what's the deal with all those skulls? And the skirt part... The story itself feels like a translation from a foreign language, but the narrator has a pleasant native English voice, so it went okay. What surprised me was the effect that forced pauses in narration (while you walk to the next location) had on my perception of time and the story. Initially, I was longing for a steady stream of information or emotion, because that's how we live these days, and there was none. In the end, it felt like when I used to read books before the Internet, taking my time to read at my own pace and think about it. Even as it has no replay value, I do not regret spending a bit of my time experiencing it.
