Rodeo Clown

主角赴约见前妻滞留德州所发生的奇闻轶事。对话写得让人饶有兴致，不过打牌对峙反省和与结尾写得拖沓。 奥罗拉是一个正在凋零的小镇，主角就是在等拖车来时四处闲逛和人打发时间。塑造的最突出的配角就属老太太露西亚，脾气真的太好了，既会鼓励人从跌倒处爬起来，又会热心给予情感咨询，而你很难料到她也有血气方钢的青年时期。杰西和主角相比，愤世嫉俗和对电影的热衷不遑多让，更精准地定格为通过互联网观察世界的青少年缩影，时刻渴望到新天地去闯荡。老好人苏格Sugar、倔老头欧内斯特，形形色色，汇成小镇畸人。 妻子在德州从事昆虫相关的事务，主角则是不满职业的离职会计。实际上他不满一切，总是在脑海中打趣、嘲弄、批判自己，除了前妻，唯一喜欢的活动就是电影和电影评论。所以颅内迷思、与小镇居民打交道的对话中能涌现出许多戏剧性场景，同时作品里也能看到主角，即作者化身，在政治、宗教各方面上的情绪宣泄和观念输出。 https://www.acfun.cn/v/ac47558186 斗牛小丑 附上故事舞台同样设在德克萨斯州，但是核启示录背景的冒险游戏《Interstate 35》。 https://www.acfun.cn/v/ac46559527 35号州际公路

Playthrough here: https://youtu.be/Sf_Z5CF4OWc The creator has fantastic humor all of the side things and dialogues are fantastic. Personally the Politics culmination of conflict wasn't for me, but that's just personal preference. The characters are mostly enjoyable though and even though there's no real action or threat driving the plot like trail of the wretched it's very relatable and introspective. Definitely worth the play if even just to learn more about urinating appropriately to access locked areas. I will also warn be careful of how you interact with people after replaying the game I noticed I missed a good bit of dialogue because I chose a certain option.

Just finished the Game. great story worth taking a look at if you like visual novels style games.

In a world of lesser Disco Elysium clones, Rodeo Clown remembers to be funny as often as it punches you in the stomach.

Very interesting ..! Kinda reminds me of the Neil Young song "The Old Homestead"

Talked to a rock. Got bullied by some teenagers. Derailed a game of poker with an argument about politics. Got really, really sad. All the signs of a classic.

This is an hidden Gem for anyone that loves narrative experiences. It's a short story about learnin how to live, love, pain and connection. All set into a surrealist american small town where everything feels frozen in time and a main character that has a surprising depth given to his central conflict and with interesting dialogue choices to explore. Besides all that, it looks very unique and the minimalist soundtrack works very well.
