About
Inspired by the medieval Mediterranean.
This is the story of a time long past.
A time when people lived in peace and well-being in the region of Verigo after an event that would be known as... The Garlic Wars.
In an enormous castle lived Margo, a young jester who served her lord at court. Margo enjoyed a life of absolute comfort and privilege; possessions, favors, compliments, and even a close relationship with her king.
A dream life that took a turn due to a twisted desire that would blossom in the heart of young Margo... Unhappiness, sadness, all the ills of mankind suddenly turned into guilty desires for the young jester.
Thus, one day Margo left the castle with a very clear purpose.
"I want to know misery."
Offering a lifetime of service to anyone who could help her see her desires come true.
What the young woman did not know was that the real world would be one very different from what she expected.

Buena historia y arte muy bonito al igual que el doblaje. Un rato muy agradable
An interesting little text adventure about life, love and loss. With the earthen colour palette, strong shapes and shading the visuals evoke medieval art while still being its own style. Each screen has its own piece of music which is appropriately atmospheric as well as enjoyably calm for a reading experience. The voice acting is decent though it is obvious that most of the voice actors used different microphones and some of the audio could be tweaked a bit more, but for a free game it is more than good enough. Throughout the game you get to hear the personal stories of the various characters and their outlooks on life. The dialogue tree with a character resets every time when ending a conversation with them and starting another one. On the one hand that makes it relatively easy to read through all possible dialogue options, but on the other hand it makes the dialogue feel very inconsequential. Overall while some aspects are still rough around the edges the story content is quite good, so I can certainly recommend it as a short read of about one hour if you exhaust all dialogue options.

En résumé, voici l'histoire d'une époque révolue où les gens vivaient dans la paix et le bien-être dans la région de Verigo après un événement qui serait connu sous le nom de... La guerre de l'ail. Dans un immense château vivait Margo, une jeune bouffonne qui servait son seigneur à la cour. Margo jouissait d'une vie de confort et de privilèges absolus : possessions, faveurs, compliments, et même une relation étroite avec son roi. Une vie de rêve qui a pris un tournant à cause d'un désir tordu qui allait fleurir dans le cœur de la jeune Margo... Le malheur, la tristesse, tous les maux de l'humanité se sont soudain transformés en désirs coupables pour le jeune bouffon. C'est ainsi qu'un jour, Margo quitta le château avec un but bien précis. « Je veux connaître la misère. » Offrant une vie entière de service à quiconque pourrait l'aider à réaliser ses désirs. Ce que la jeune femme ne savait pas, c'est que le monde réel serait très différent de ce qu'elle attendait. Les points négatifs : * Des succès auraient été les bienvenues dans le but de connaître nos concrétisations dans l'histoire. Je recommande ce roman, qui est gratuit pour le plaisir d'une bonne lecture (malheureusement en anglais). Amicalement, Le pasteur .
[spoiler] "You don't understand because the doors have always been open wide for you. You don't know adversity, for that is what the strong are for in these times" [/spoiler] I really enjoyed the game! There are a few bugs, but nothing major. I love how deep the story can go in less than an hour! Margo is a bit clueless, but I think she got the point in the end (≧▽≦)ノ゙
Está de locoossss, me encanta el dibujo y el doblaje
Игра "Smiling Misery" - это короткая, но жутко атмосферная психологическая хоррор-история. Сюжет строится вокруг загадочного дома и его обитателя, который всегда улыбается, несмотря на творящийся вокруг кошмар. Визуальный стиль, хоть и простой, отлично передает чувство тревоги и надвигающейся беды. Звуковое сопровождение выше всяких похвал – скрипы, шепоты и жуткая музыка постоянно держат в напряжении. Геймплей минималистичен, в основном сводится к исследованию и взаимодействию с немногочисленными предметами. Но именно это создает эффект погружения, заставляя игрока чувствовать себя уязвимым и беспомощным. К сожалению, игра проходится довольно быстро, и история обрывается, оставляя после себя больше вопросов, чем ответов. Тем не менее, эффект от прохождения остается надолго. "Smiling Misery" – отличный пример того, как можно создать запоминающийся хоррор, не прибегая к сложным механикам и пугающим скримерам. Рекомендую всем любителям психологических ужасов, готовых к короткому, но интенсивному опыту.
