Second Thoughts

A really short game about regretting who you execute & who you release. Did I regret any of my decisions? Not really. if I had a choice to go back, I'd find it useless. The Game highly depends on your Beliefs & Morals, interestingly enough it was easier to execute people then to release them. The First Chapter has you pick who to execute, then the final one is released. The Second Chapter you pick who to release & the final one is executed. The Game barely has any replay-ability making it shorter then it should be, the morale of the game feels like common-sense, most Characters are really predictable making the Game over simplified. So, do I recommend this Game? Would it give you Second Thoughts? It is a interesting Game, but it didn't hit that "Good Game" list nor is it a "Bad Game". As I said earlier, depending on your beliefs & morals & if you successfully predicted a Character. You won't regret anything. You may have Second Thoughts at the start of the Game, but once you figure out the Game you can make choices you won't regret. It has an interesting concept, but hasn't reached it's full potential.

A lot of fun. I've always loved the "who should be saved/killed" kinds of though experiments, and I liked learning the information as the game progressed. The links between the characters (these two characters being related, this character having killed this previous character's relative, etc.) was also a nice touch

I love it. As someone who regularly overthinks this is a nice exercise.

Can execute a 12 year old, 10/10 game

I loved this game! A simple concept with intense details and decisions. A retro-style display and audio made the feel of the game realistic. This game made my stomach turn, as simple as it was, it is a very effective psychological horror/thriller. Very affordable. And a great experience.

Amazing game and had a cool message at the end, very entertaining could even play with a group of people if you all were in the same room.

Originally I complained that this game gave no warning about the permanent choices and if you missed reading the info on each character, you were out of luck. The developer has since responded and fixed that gripe. This game is a nice premise with a low price tag. You sit at a computer and choose each person to remove one by one. For 2$ there isn't anything else to really complain about now. If you expect a grander type of game then look elsewhere. It definitely gave me entertainment that i can enjoy when i want to, and that's all I really asked of it.

Second Thoughts is a text based interactive "adventure" game where you are forced to eliminate individuals one at a time after being provided with details about them. It's very text heavy and doesn't feature much in the way of graphics. It plays out thematically similar to Papers, Please! except it's much, much more crap. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro text/ASCII "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, or any real graphics at all for that matter. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. Problematically, the user interface for this game is just a 2D text heavy panel with a few static images... it might as well be a browser game. And we all know, Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox. If the game can be done in a web browser, it's just not rich or compelling enough to appeal to serious gamers. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Second Thoughts is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. You can play better games for free in a web browser, so it's preposterous to suggest anyone should pay money for this on Steam.

What a dark game...I loved it. Really screws with your sense of morality
