Schematic Void

short. some things were incredibly vague. the ending felt arbitrary. the puzzles were cool and imaginative though. maybe overpriced for what it offers. 3 hours of gameplay for all achievements feels overcosted. regardless, its a decent game. edit: devs used ai for the music. refunded.

Game is... fine. A lot of the puzzles just felt like I was clicking around trying to figure out what the dev wanted me to do next, very few good "aha!" moments. If I could give a neutral review I would, but the game just was not fun enough for me to recommend.

This is a puzzle box with an ok theme but no real cohesion or challenge. You click around randomly and constantly backtrack and do exactly what the game tells you. The game never gives you a chance to solve any problems on your own, and really just drags you along all while making you listen to the terrible AI generated music. For some reason every action has a painfully slow animation, and there's loading screens between each level, despite how minimal the design is, so it just feels terrible to play. The AI steam page banner tells you everything you need to know about the quality of the game.

[b]Schematic Void[/b] is an original, intriguing, and unfinished puzzle game. Players must complete deceptively simple electrical circuits whilst finishing the work of the developer and gradually breaking down the fourth wall. It is a very enjoyable puzzle game and will take around 2-4 hours to complete. It offers minimalistic but nicely stylised visuals, a fun and somewhat frenetic soundtrack, and satisfying puzzles that belie their simplicity, working in tandem with the fourth-wall-breaking narrative to create a comprehensive and unique experience. Solutions can be tricky to deduce, but far from impossible, and a well-implemented hint system aids progression without detracting too much from the process. I’d happily recommend this to fans of puzzle games, especially those looking for something a little bit different.

Это очень плохо. Игра начинается как достаточно приятная головоломка с занятными механиками. Тебе дают интересные и логичные загадки, но на середине прохождения начинает спотыкаться и к концу скатывается полностью. После середины игры игра вообще не объясняет, что от тебя хочет. Разгадывание головоломок более не имеет какого-то внятного объяснения, а сводится всего к двум способам решения - пиксель-хантинг, либо перебор инструментов методом тыка в надежде понять, что было в голове у авторов. Не рекомендую.

That was...whelming. It insists upon itself, but it really feels like a tech demo of a bunch of gimmicks. The music feels very elevator muzak, but not in an intentional way--more in a "I threw some royalty-free tracks onto my game without really thinking about the overall vibe."

Game was fun at the end of the day, so everything I will say does not mean I hate the game. Some of the puzzles were a little annoying to the point where I had to look up a guide (and not in the fun "oh, it's challenging" way. More like the "now I have X item, so I need to go back to every level and pray to God it'll let me do something different." Game only took me an hour and a half to complete, so I say it is not worth it's current price of $9, and thus is the reason why I do not recommend the game. If the game is expanded with more content for the same price, that will 100% change my recommendation, but for now, wait for it to be like 75% off or something.

✦ Мозг напрягается нереально! Очень классный концепт и идея взаимодействия с уровнями. Было прям непривычно и интересно возвращаться на другие уровни, чтобы взять что-то оттуда для прохождения следующих. Респект за разные темы фона - темная ванлав. Концепт "разработчик не доделал - делай теперь ты" - мне кажется это золотая жила нашего времени азазазахаха. Идея топчик!)) Прикольные инструменты, обучение которое не хочется скипнуть, а наоборот нравится изучать. Музыка паупаупиупаупиупау прям :) Вроде головоломки решаешь, а вроде и пляшешь)) Игра с переворотами, сменой угла обзора порой прям ломала восприятие. ✦ Переключения между уровнями громкие на фоне остальных звуков - неприятные щелчки по ушам. ✦ Советую всем любителям поломать голову - эта игра сможет вас приятно удивить!
