SELF_DELETED

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop][b]Warning: AI Slop[/b][/url] This e-book is partially or completely made with talentless, soulless AI generated content.[/quote] More fake AI slop, this entire thing was vibe coded, the Russian garbage text for this book was prompted with ChatGPT (or whatever), all the backdrop imagery is AI Slop. This is in every sense of the word a "fake game", or should I say "fake book". There's nothing sincere or valuable in this AI slop mess. This developer operates under multiple aliases in an attempt to hide their identity and confuse gamers. Known accounts include: [list] [*] HideStormGames [*] NightShadowGames [*] PikantoPizzaGames [*] PopOldGames [*] RedYellowGreenGames [*] SmogGames [/list] All the same developer. Multiple accounts just to mislead gamers. Because this was put together with the Ren'Py e-book construction kit, it didn't require any actual coding or development. It's a tool for failed authors to push their garbage high school anime club dropout fanfictions as games (or in this case, just prompt GPT to do the markup and text for the entire e-book... this is a joke). Just like there's no professional writing here, there isn't any professional software development either. Visual novels/e-books are the worst way to try read a book (and they're always written far worse than real books too). Imagine reading your favorite book, be that War and Peace or The Davinci Code (are you ok??), but you have to click the mouse for every single sentence that appears. You'd hate it. It's a garbage way to try read a book... and even if it wasn't, this still isn't a game. As mentioned, this features really godawful, "wrong" looking AI slop instead of genuinely and sincerely created game assets. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating real game assets or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision. AI slop sticks out like a sore thumb... and it comes across as insulting. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too, and that's glaringly obvious here. These flaws make this E-Book fall far short of the professional standards we expect from a modern PC game. The poor quality of this E-Book is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the E-Book all-time peak player count was only ONE player. That's right, only one person ever played this at a time. When I played this for the purposes of reviewing it, I equalled the peak player count for the E-Book. OUCH. The only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 130 million gamers on Steam and well over 140,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality E-Book is to be expected. Let's talk about price and the value this represents for us gamers. Should you buy this E-Book? Is it among the best the Steam catalogue has to offer? SELF_DELETED is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. There's enough defects and quality problems with this E-Book that it's really impossible to recommend to gamers. The use of AI slop is a direct insult to gamers and real, ethical content creators and artists everywhere.

[quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this E-Book as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the E-Book (to date). Until this status changes, this E-Book will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this E-Book.[/quote]

Ну вот что это такое, 11 минут и всё... Мало картинок, но те что есть- очень красивые. Замечательно, если бы сделать побольше... всего.

Автор молодец, пили ещё. Игра короткая но для старта хорошо!

Есть посыл, и это единственное что есть. Музыка по большей части отсутствовала, даже эмбиент Арты ИИ(пусть в стиме уже сделают пометку "сделано с помощью ИИ") Сравнивая с другими продуктами, особенно с бесплатными, которые сделаны лучше, интереснее, длиннее - это плохая визуальная новелла(как это чудо ещё назвать я не знаю, но уж точно не игрой). Плохо.

Игра короткая. За несколько минут можно отыграть все концовки. Нет звука (только в одном трогательном месте он-таки появляется). История без предыстории, потому не сильно цепляет. Кусочки воспоминаний помогают проникнуться ситуацией. Как автор(ы) заставили работать нейросети, чтобы лицо героя не менялось от эмоции к эмоции, науке неизвестно, но впечатляет. Новелла своих денег стоит. Возврата не будет, ибо создано с искренней любовью и вкладом чего-то личного. А главное - игрулька летает на моём компе! Отзыв написан без применения ИИ.

Сюжета вообще нет, игра проходится в 3-4 клика по мышке, сама игра на на 10 минут, если читать диалоги, а если не читать то и вовсе за 2 минуты пройти можно. Не советую, не тратьтесь зря.

Хоть и маленькая новела, но очень интересная.
