Project Vesperi

Loved the story and the world building! Wished it was a little bit longer but overall a very pleasant experience!! Can't wait to try to get all the other different endings.

Almost no content. Every camera angle, every voice line is reused at least three times. Nonsensical, incoherent story. Ugly character models (please don't remove your helmets, people!) Looks and feels like a cheap Amazon Prime sci-fi movie, in which four friends of the director's spout boring nonsense and nothing of substance happens for 80 minutes.

After playing your demo, I was really looking forward to the full game. Project Vesperi made me want more. Unfortunately, I have to say very clearly that the “more” you get here is only a little bit more than the demo. In the end, I felt somewhat ripped off. After about one and a half hours in total, the game was finished — and a good half hour of that had basically already been the demo. For me, that ratio simply did not work at all. There are also several areas where the game still needs improvement. The videos cannot be skipped, and conversations cannot be clicked through. That becomes especially frustrating when you replay a section for the second or third time, already know what you need to do, but still have to watch the entire scene again. The constant fade-outs and fade-ins ini the videos add to that feeling and make the experience feel slower than necessary. Instead of keeping me engaged, it made continuing the game feel increasingly boring. The character faces also need more work. In particular, the face of the womans main character looked very rough to me and, at times, almost unintentionally unsettling. Overall, I felt the game was too short, too thin, and stretched out too much for what it actually delivered. I could have requested a refund because my playtime was under two hours, but I chose not to. Still, I have to say that it felt like money wasted. That being said, I do want to end on a positive note: the core idea is genuinely great. The concept made me curious, and the demo created real interest. Project Vesperi has a strong foundation and could be something really enjoyable — but in its current state, the full game simply does not deliver enough compared to what the demo suggested, it is still a demo to me and now should be the point to go into a long story...

it has many bugs. talking options are propsed, but there are none. crashes at boot black loading screens taking minutes breaks in third entry to geode room - jumps to a scene, where there is no-one. very bethesda feeling. refunded.

The game was ok, really short (novella-sized), I knew that prior to heading in via other reviews. Do not recommend getting at full price, wait till it's on a sale. I understand it's the dev's first game and they're likely after the support, however, it doesn't strike that oompth in my opinion and the price could be a tad cheaper. Concept was cool albeit being predictable, also would have loved to explore Venus more. There's potential, although a lot of improvements could be made. Animations for example, some of them drag out unnecessarily, whereas other moments are fine when emphasising understanding or creating tension. The technical side may benefit from a second look as it crashed when I first tried, however once I updated my graphics card and general computer, it worked, additionally there were instances of jankiness during the cutscenes. Fortunately it settled as I progressed and tweaked a few settings. Good luck to the devs if they decide to expand on it as well any future projects.
