Rest House II - The Wizard

[quote][b]Warning: Broken Game![/b] This asset flip has design/implementation defects that will render this unplayable for many gamers. the game crashes to desktop with a DirectX related error on launch, it cannot be played on modern PCs due to the developer failing to test this asset flip properly.[/quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Rest House II - The Wizard is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unreal Marketplace assets, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.[/quote] Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. In this case, the asset flipper took a bunch of assets from the Unreal Marketplace and slapped them haphazardly onto a basic Unreal engine first person adventure blueprint, but didn't bother testing any of the janky assets or the hamfisted way they cludged other people's work together, so it crashes on launch anyway. It has no value or merit as a real game. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Rest House II - The Wizard didn't appeal much to the people who own a copy of the game, either. It has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game didn't really capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is "Influenza", for going through the first level, trivial to get, but less than 27 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. Hardly a success story, even the people who own this game weren't interested in it. The poor quality of this game is also reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low 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 and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Unethically, the developers have left this on the Steam store in an unplayable and broken state. It's the responsibility of the developer to maintain their product, ensure it runs on all modern PCs, or if they determine there's defects and the game doesn't work, they should remove it from sale instead of misleadingly trying to scam gamers into buying knowingly defective products. This is harmful to Steam and to gamers, not just because it's a direct and intentional attempt to scam people, but because it takes a share of the marketing space and visibility away from other games. It's polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuine games and for genuine indie developers who put months or years into making proper games find an audience. This kind of asset flipping isn't harmless. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games from ethical developers. It makes it harder for genuine indie developers, who put hard work into trying to make real games, to find an audience for their products. It gives indie developers a bad name. So, should you buy this asset flip? Is this better than any of the 100,000+ genuinely made games on Steam? Of course not! It doesn't even work! [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

故事从这个以渔港和捕鲸闻名的岛屿开始。 一天晚上，主角喝醉了，决定趁着微风乘船出海。 猛烈的风暴。回到捕鲸船上。在船上找到藏身之处。 很少有部分丢失，也不确定作者是否会找到它们： -这封用血写的信附在狗身上，警告它要保持隐蔽，因为它的生命取决于它。 -捕鲸船上爆发了神秘的信息和叛乱。 船员被叛乱者屠杀。 主角穿着一个最近死去的水手的衣服，伪装成鬼魂。 在迷信的水手们肯定会爆发的混乱中，船又被接管了。 所有叛乱者要么被杀，要么被扔到海里。 我们还不知道这些事情。这种材料也丢失了。 风暴愈演愈烈，桅杆断裂，船帆撕裂，船舱被淹。 它暂时是安全的，但没有规定。在接下来的几天里，这些人面临着饥饿和干渴的死亡。 一艘荷兰船驶过，他被一股可怕的恶臭吓坏了。 他很快意识到，船上那个看起来很快乐的水手实际上是一具尸体，被支撑在船的索具上，他的“笑容”是由于他部分腐烂的头骨随着海鸥的进食而移动。当船经过时，很明显，船上所有的乘客都是腐烂的尸体。 有迹象表明：其中一只应该被杀死，作为其他动物的食物。 故事的某些部分你会认出，其他部分则会保持神秘，因为这些材料已经消失了… 当你到达离开利物浦的“简·盖伊”号船时，你几乎要死了。 鲨鱼会猎杀你。 你将研究周围的岛屿，对其结构和氛围产生兴趣。你需要向南走得更远，前往未开发的地区。 一片冰和开阔的海洋，气候温和，看起来就像你在世界的尽头。 一个名为Tsalal的神秘岛屿，居住着一个由酋长领导的黑人部落，他们显然是友好的当地人。白色对岛上的居民来说是陌生的，让他们感到不安，因为那里根本不存在这种颜色。甚至当地人的牙齿也是黑色的。该岛也是许多未被发现的动植物物种的家园。它的水也不同于其他地方的水，奇怪的是，它的水很厚，而且有五颜六色的纹理。 小心狭窄峡谷中的伏击。 你可以躲在伏击地点周围的山上，但你会被传送到一个奇怪的小镇，在那里你需要发现一个迷宫般的通道，墙上有奇怪的标记，并且对这些是人为还是自然原因的结果意见不一。 只有逃避，只有真相！故事突然结束了。 几天后，主角遇到了一场灰烬雨，然后观察到一片巨大的雾或薄雾，当他们靠近时，它会裂开以容纳他们的入口。当一个巨大的被笼罩的白色身影出现在他们面前时，当地人去世了。 一份简短的后圣经笔记，表面上是由项目编辑写的，解释说主角在一次事故中丧生，并推测他的最后两三章与他一起丢失了，尽管向公众保证，如果找到，这些章节将恢复到文本中。该说明进一步解释说，他还活着，但目前无法接受采访。然后，编辑们将迷宫的形状和阿拉伯和埃及字母和象形文字上的墙壁标记与“白巫师”的含义进行了比较。 Story begin at the island, famous for its fishing harbor and whaling. One night, main character become drunk and decide, to take advantage of the breeze and sail out on boat. Violent storm. Returning to whaling ship. Find hideout in the ship. Few parts are lost and it’s not sure if author will find them: -letter written in blood attached to the dog, warning to remain hidden, as his life depends on it. -mysterious message, as well as a mutiny had erupted on the whaling ship. Crew was slaughtered by the mutineers. Main character dressed in the clothes of a recently dead sailor, masquerading as a ghost. In the confusion sure to break out among the superstitious sailors, ship is taken over again. All the mutineers are killed or thrown overboard. We don’t know about these things yet. That material is also lost. The storm increases in force, breaking the mast, tearing the sails and flooding the hold. It was safe for a moment, but without provisions. Over the following days, the men face death by starvation and thirst. Dutch ship passed and he was horrified as he overcome with an awful stench. He soon realized that the apparently cheerful sailor at the ship was, in fact, a corpse propped up in the ship's rigging, his "grin" a result of his partially decomposed skull moving as a seagull feed upon it. As the ship passes, it became clear that all its occupants are rotting corpses. There was sign: one of them should be killed as food for the others. Some parts of the story you will recognize, other will stay mystery because that material is gone… You are close to death when you reach the Jane Guy, a ship out of Liverpool. Sharks will hunt you. You’ll study the island around, become interested in the structures and atmosphere. You’ll need to go farther south towards the unexplored region. An ice and open sea, with a mild climate will look like you’re at the end of the world. Mysterious island called Tsalal, inhabited by a tribe of black, apparently friendly natives led by a chief. The color white is alien to the island's inhabitants and unnerves them, because nothing of that color exists there. Even the natives' teeth are black. The island is also home to many undiscovered species of flora and fauna. Its water is also different from water elsewhere, being strangely thick and exhibiting multicolored veins. Watch on the ambush in a narrow gorge. You could hide in the mountains surrounding the site of the ambush but you’ll be teleported to some weird town where you need to discover a labyrinth of passages with strange marks on the walls, and disagree about whether these are the result of artificial or natural causes. Only escape, only truth! Here the story ends abruptly. After several days main character encounters a rain of ashes and then observe a huge cataract of fog or mist, which splits open to accommodate their entrance upon approach. The native dies as a huge shrouded white figure appears before them. A short post-scriptural note, ostensibly written by the project editors, explains that main character was killed in an accident and speculates his final two or three chapters were lost with him, though assuring the public the chapters will be restored to the text if found. The note further explains that he is alive in but cannot be interviewed at present. The editors then compare the shapes of the labyrinth and the wall marks noted to Arabian and Egyptian letters and hieroglyphs with meanings of the "White Wizard".

0/10 Janky shovelware. Its like a walking simulator that feels a bit like it's trolling you that you are even playing it. Parts of it are frustrating jumping / struggling to get past terrain. Feels like a students half finished school project that is somehow on Steam.

Rest House II - The Wizard maalesef oldukça düşük kaliteli ve sorunlu bir oyun. Oyun, büyük ölçüde hazır assetlerin rastgele birleştirilmesiyle yapılmış ve bu durum oynanışa da doğrudan yansıyor. Ortada özgün bir emek ya da düzgün bir tasarım görmek zor. En büyük problem ise teknik tarafta. Oyun birçok sistemde ya açılır açılmaz çöküyor ya da “yükleniyor” ekranında takılı kalıyor ve ilerlemiyor. Bu haliyle oynanabilir durumda bile değil. Modern bilgisayarlarda çalışmaması, geliştiricinin yeterli test yapmadığını açıkça gösteriyor. Bunun dışında oyunun içerik tarafı da oldukça zayıf. Oyuncuların büyük bir kısmı ilk bölümü bile tamamlamadan oyunu bırakmış. Zaten oyuncu sayısının aşırı düşük olması da oyunun ne kadar ilgi görmediğini kanıtlıyor. Ayrıca geliştiricilerin kullandıkları assetler için herhangi bir kredi vermemesi de etik açıdan büyük bir sorun. Bu durum oyunu sadece kalitesiz değil, aynı zamanda güvenilmez hale getiriyor. Sonuç olarak Rest House II - The Wizard ne teknik açıdan ne de içerik açısından beklentileri karşılayan bir yapım değil. Şu haliyle satın alınmasını kesinlikle önermem.
