Interesting Indie Game
Yalnızca belgeleri dönüşümlü olarak kullanan bir şirketin sınır koridorlarını mı keşfedeceksiniz? Bu kısa sanatsal Bağımsız oyun, gerçekten benzersiz bir deneyim yaratmak için 2D keşfi kağıt fiziğiyle birleştiriyor.
宙ぶらりんでばかばかしくもクスリとくる、奇妙な味の短編。 プレイヤーはひたすらマウスドラッグで次から次へPDF書類の天地を正しく回し続ける。 本当にただPDFを回すだけなのか?何か意味が隠されているのか?そう考えざるを得ない地味な作業と思わせぶりな展開──その果ての幕切れは人によっては最低のオチかもしれないし、人によっては確かなユーモアと皮肉があると感じるだろう。 英文は比較的簡単な方だが、これを読まないと主人公が陥る奇妙な状況もオチも分からず本当にただPDFを回すだけに終わってしまうので、ざっと流し読みで大意を掴める程度の英語力は必要か(それともスマホのGoogle翻訳で読んでもいいと思う……文量はたいして多くないし)。 UIはシンプルで(ゲーム表現としては)やや稚拙さも感じるが明快な美学をもってデザインされ美しいし、さすがに徒労だけで終わらせない幾つかのちょっとしたサービスにも単なるフリーゲームの小品とは一味違うものを感じた。その結果急に難しくなる絵合わせパズルや、バグとしか思えない挙動で詰まったのは参ったが……。 (詰まった人へ:[spoiler]絵合わせパズルは「tangram」で画像検索すれば正解が出てくる。「黒い丸と模様の部屋」で何も起こらなくなってしまったら(多分バグ)ポーズメニューからBack Outsideで部屋に入る所からやり直した方がいいかもしれない。スタッフロールの後は終了オプションが無いのでアプリを閉じて終わる必要がある。[/spoiler])

This game is good at making you feel like a meaningless cog in a machine. All that pdf rotating is very tedious and the story doesn't make it worthwhile.
"rotatePDF: A Corporate Tale" is probably inspired by the unexpected viral success of Papers, Please, and while it's slightly worse in quality than Papers Please, it's got absolutely none of the charm. What do you do in the game? You play a corporate lackey that has to rotate papers around (there's even a tangram)... yeah that's it. With a bit of super-pretentious "art" narrative, that makes the whole thing even worse. The graphics aren't great, just low quality 2D visuals, next to no effort was put into making this look remotely acceptable. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
Bestes Spiel um geiles Freestyle mit beat rauszuhauen digga sheeeeeereeeeshhhhhhhh ehre lol roffl xd yolo usw mehr jugendslang und so yeah baby
Ein bisschen seltsam bzw. ein bisschen sehr seltsam. Aber auf eine gute Art.
it's giving...clean girl vibes + anger issues. tbh a very frustrating + tedious game to play, but so pretty I keep coming back to it. perfectly captures the aesthetic of corporate tedium.
Always remember to tidy up your desk to keep it organised. It's free, it's silly, don't play if you expect a high quality in depth game
So we're just supposed to rotate papers? I know I shouldn't have called into work today. Imagine actual work being better than staying at home gaming.
