ШП - ShP

What the hell did I just play. The game comes with 3 puzzles to solve in the insane UI and at the beginning they are each more confusing than the other but in a masochistic way I actually really enjoyed figuring them out. But still what the hell...

ШП (ShP) - это головоломка, построенная на эрративной дезориентации и полном непонимании происходящего. Игра намеренно не даёт никаких инструкций и не объясняет правил. Тебя просто бросают за пульт управления какого-то безумного механизма и говорят - разбирайся сам. Весь геймплей строится на экспериментах, наблюдении и попытках уловить логику системы, которая поначалу кажется сломанной или откровенно сумасшедшей. Крутишь, нажимаешь, дёргаешь рычаги, смотришь, что меняется, и постепенно начинаешь понимать, как всё связано. Или думаешь, что понимаешь - и тут же ошибаешься. ShP - опыт не для всех, но если тебе нравится чувствовать себя оператором странного, опасного и явно неисправного механизма, где всё приходится постигать интуицией, игра может зайти очень сильно.

I hate this thing.

ШП - ShP is a badly made Russian "puzzle" game where you're presented with an old Windows 95/dotNET/Java looking dialog that doesn't work properly and you have to click around and guess your way through the dialogue to work out how to "exit" the game. What fun, this might as well have been done in Flash or HTML5. Very low effort stuff. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. The game interface is mostly just text boxes/dialogs no images or graphics at all to speak of, the kind of thing you expect to see in browser/HTML games from the 1990s. While that might be fine for the 1990s, gaming has evolved a lot since then, the ATI Rage became mainstream in 1996... it's 2023, and that kind of thing just won't fly anymore, it's just not visually up to scratch. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 13 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, 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 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. ШП - ShP 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. This game features a number of suspicious, likely fake positive reviews. The reviews all appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and all have very similar wording and writing style, in Russian or English. This is highly unusual given the very low quality of the game and poor player counts. The "Positive" review score on this game should be taken with a large grain of salt. This might be done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product.

I have no clue. My brain is in shpambles.

Not completely sure why i recommend this, but the game itself threw me out of the game, i found that mildly enjoyable
