Satellite Odyssey: Prologue

I recommend it just because of the idea behind it. It is great. Like Atomic Heart but in the space. But localization is poor (could have been done better), environment is not perfect, screamers are pathetic. As this is "Prologue", hope devs will gather funds and create something on level with Atomic Heart It is important that this game literally was made by a couple of guys. So, I guess it is worth good review

Очень классное небольшое приключение в жанре симулятора ходьбы. Понравилась история, пусть и линейная, но выверенная и четкая, а в конце можно сделать выбор и получить одну из двух концовок. Красивая графика, стилистика, было приятно бродить по станции. Хотелось бы больше, но насколько я понимаю, продолжение уже будет несколько иным и не только по жанру. А так советую, очень круто.

Let's make this review short and sweet listing off pros and cons, as given this game's runtime and price it only seem appropriate. [h3]The Pros[/h3] - Interesting plot twist - a runtime that respects your time - remarkably cheap (not even $2 US Dollary Doos) ...and unfortunately that's all the nice things I have to say about this game. [h3] The Cons[/h3] - kinda flat / inconsistent voice acting (with certain lines not playing) that sounds like the actors are forcing their accents (not actually Russian sounding at all to an American, so take this with a grain of salt) - abrupt camera cut(s) that messed with pacing / twist reveal - feels like Russian Space Odyssey with the AI hitting us with the "I can't let you do that, Dave" esk line (really wish it was more original in how it interpreted the AI) - Jumpscares (cheap attempts at "scaring", but jumpscares are to horror as tickling is to comedy: it forces a reaction from the one being "jumpscared" or "tickled, rather than letting actual fear be the cause) - rough animations (not super smooth / abrupt motions) - fail states setting you so far back (sparce checkpoints) - no manual saving (only automatic checkpoints) - no proper dialogue skipping (makes re-runs difficult to justify, and even though there is a "skip" button it does not seem to actually skip anything) - subtitles just straight up being wrong (Twinkle Twinkle little star final line said by the protag among a few others) - lack of music during the credits or some sort of sound is odd (likely an audio bug that happened for me here, but I've seen other people mention audio bugs being very present through the entire experience) The game is [i]fine[/i] for its price point, but even with such a cheap entry fee it still feels a bit cheap. I understand it's meant to build up hype for Jupiter, but after rewatching the trailers for it and after playing this game I am [b][i]concerned[/i][/b] for the quality of the proper full release...
