Shape of America: Episode One

Played that a while ago. Liked the narrative character. Wish there was more of it and still think about it. All very atmospheric. Mature and retro. I can enjoy that.

muy buen juego, es bastante entretenido si estas algo interesado en política este juego te va a encantar

Ive been able to end the game in a few minutes in my first playthrough, so i had to start up a new playthrough so progress in the game. You have to fight out political debates with arguments in these RPG-like interview battles. They can be tough to win. Also the characters in game, both the names and portrait resemble a lot like the ones in USA in the past ;) The game also has this visual novel like story progress witch leads to these political battles. You have a stats profile for your characters which evolve as you progress in the game. Unfortunately for me, this Unity game takes a few minutes to load up at the startup.

It's rather short, and a little rough around the edges (particularly the arbitrary precision of decimal numbers stuck out like a sore thumb), but the story is interesting and I'm looking forward to Episode 2 ... except it's been over a year since this first episode was released, and there's no sign of the developers having updated the game's website since announcing the upcoming release of episode 1, so I'm getting kind of pessimistic over here. I'd say buy it, but not at full price. 5 Euro is a bit much for 2-3h of gameplay, even accounting for some presumable replay value thanks to multiple choices.

Pros: Decent writing Decent game play Was fun Worth the $3 Cons: Short, already beat it in 5 hours Found a bug, You can buy negative priced stock to gain money

Charming political text adventure game with a very promising beginning. If Episode Two contiunes along a similar vein and actually takes into account the choices in Episode One, then this was a worthy purchase. A lot of potential to be a gem hidden in the rough Edit: Sequel never came out so its a worthless purchase.
