Well, if you miraculously get it for free or for a few cents, it's a thumbs up. Oh but it crashes a lot when progressing through the story, so beware. I know the price isn't steep, honestly maybe my expectations were just too high for this price. I just felt like I played a demo of a VN. As in, I feel like most of the stuff that happens is pointless. If you play it, you'll know why. Although I'm not recommending you do that.
**Review below is based on the game before release, and there have been some patches since then** Paws and Effect is a wonderfully charming VA game with some choices and a few branching paths. The main character was believable which was refreshing and the cast of characters was small enough that they were able to keep the focus of the story strong without mindless wandering. The artwork for was very well done and flowed together very well and set a great scene with the accompanying soundtrack. While the voice lines sounded great and were generally crisp, I found at times that the male dogs voice would shift to different odd volumes but that could have just been an issue on my end. The biggest bonus that I couldn't stop going on about was the fact that they included a fast dialogue section and a hot key to use it when the button was unavailable. This really helps with the replay value in my eyes as I am much more willing to go back if I don't have to sit through long scenes that I have already seen. Another really neat feature is the chapter system in which when you select a chapter to continue from that you have unlocked you are brought to a screen where it offers several sliders that were the important branching paths from the previous chapters. Want to see what would have been different? Easy! Slide the slider over instead of manually going through the whole chapter. I was able to complete a single run through of the game within about 3.5 hours (there is more than one ending) so it is a bit shorter, but lets be honest, they aren't asking for AAA prices here so I feel there was a really good value. I would have loved just a little bit more though as the possibilities for wacky shenanigans are endless (as was teased in the credits). All in all a fun easy light game to relax with!
Paws & Effect approaches a very odd topic with a sense of humor adult will quite enjoy. The writing is peppered with jokes, references, and modern commentary that bring the player into the world in a way that helps identify with the characters. Having played the game for only 2.5hrs myself, I greatly enjoyed everything I saw, and look forward to jumping back in in the future. My only suggestion: Players, brush up on your Dark Crystal lore. ;)
This game is very humorous at times, the dialogue is very well written, and it's a pretty fun experience overall. The art is very cute, I also liked the voicing and music. The plot in the long run was weird, and though plenty about the game was enjoyable none of the endings really satisfied. So much of the game feels really neat and refined but for some reason, after playing through it completely I feel like the game was a little shallow. Since I did purchase this on sale it was very much worth the price, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to play something light and silly.
Put on the SFW option and it took the censor bars away for a lame joke, showed me and my entire youth group some nippleless freaks and then crashed a stream bc it wasn't sfw on the sfw option. Rude, unexpected, the youth group has converted to an entirely separate religion to attempt to find solace there.
I loved this game. I've played several other games that told the story of pets turning human. And I felt that most of those games followed similar story arcs. So honestly, I wasn't expecting a whole lot in terms of originality. Man, was I wrong. So so very wrong. This game actually explored how an animal might behave if they suddenly became human. You'd think, well duh... but those other games I mentioned didn't ever address that. The writing was great. I think what I enjoyed most is the comedy aspect. Maybe it just nails my sense of humor, but I literally laughed until I cried. But I gotta admit. Some sick part of me wanted a romantic happy ending. heh. Don't judge me! With how the game is written. It teases like if you make the right choices you could get that relief. And yet... with the way the game is written. You'd kinda be a sicko to want that (shut up!). These characters are very obviously not emotionally or intellectually qualified to be xoxo<3 Look at your dog. Look at it right now. Would you hit that? Well there you go...
Okay..I sadly wish I could have my money back but like I was curious to try it so.... Art is nice though!
This game was gifted to me, but not in the hopes that I write a review or push it or anything. I played this game to talk about on VGO, or Video Game Outsiders, on their new Community Show, and honestly, I genuinely enjoyed it. It's not very long, but I actually think it's worth the $5. Its funny and lewd, but not in a gross way, more in an entertaining, humorous, tasteful way. It does have different endings. I've only unlocked 1 so far but I think it is definitely a good game to pick up for some good story, feels, and entertainment ^-^
Paws and Effect is a short but fun little VN. The story is cute, humorous, and has a nice casual feel. It can be played through in a single sitting, but the player's choices affect the story so it takes multiple playthroughs to reach every scene. VNs in this price range are usually lower quality, but Paws and Effect is surprisingly well polished. The UI, animations, and transitions are all very fluid and clean. There is an overall feeling of completeness and attention to detail that is not common in shorter or cheaper titles. While playing, I encountered occasional crashes that reset any unsaved progress. The developer has acknowledged the bug and is working on a fix, but a crash is still very annoying and immersion-breaking. Fortunately, the game keeps track of completed chapters so I was always able to restart from the previous one even if I hadn't saved. When starting from a specific chapter, you are able to re-enter your previous choices and decisions so that the story is not affected. You can also save at any point, and I recommend saving often until the crashes are patched. Overall, I enjoyed playing Paws and Effect. I typically play VNs when I want something relaxing and fun, and this one filled that role very well.
