Roost

I just spent nearly an hour wandering through the same maybe 10 scenes, trying different things to progress in some way with no success. Found some coins and a few achievements. Beyond that, it's an endless loop of repetitive nonsense. The trailer looks interesting, but I didn't encounter most of that. There are missing details/textures from the scenes I did experience (no cubicles in computer room for example). Lowered the mouse sensitivity to nearly zero to function properly. It looks like fun and it's free, but I didn't enjoy it.

Beautifull Experience. This remember me LSD for the first PS console, with different funny secrets inside and a very eccentric surrounding graphics.

Weird exploration game, kind of lsd dream simulator. Very confusing. Would give it neutral if i could.

Roost reminds me of a lot of very early 1990s 3D games, and if that's what the dev was aiming for I guess kudos for hitting the mark, but man is it unlikely many players are going to appreciate it. The game is largely directionless: you spend interludes in your apartment between dream sessions with virtually no direction or indication of what, if anything, you're supposed to be doing. The dream sequences themselves are pointless and vague. While a faithful reconstruction of how simplistic and blocky graphics were back then, there's no excuse for how jankily Roost runs on modern systems given how basic it all is: during a number of sections the game would stutter and I'd find myself facing 180 degrees from where I was or staring at the floor or whatever. It's disorientating and adds to the frustration of a game with little reason, narrative or otherwise, to continue to play.

[h1]Before I played Roost, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

I've spent most of my time with this game feeling simultaneously very confused and intrigued enough to keep coming back for more. If an experience like that isn't offputting to you, I recommend you spend some time with Roost. It's bizarre and creepy and rewarding, as long as you're willing to be persistent.

Someone else said it first, but best: this is an endless loop of repetitive nonsense. I love hunting for achievements, but this isn't worth it for me. I feel cheated, and it was free.
