Song of Farca: Prologue

赛博朋克推理游戏，游玩时长约1小时。 在法尔卡市，私家侦探伊莎贝拉·宋接到了一起机器狗失踪案，通过黑客技术和电话调查，找出案件的幕后主使并物归原主。 人物立绘采用美式风格，女性私家侦探的设定很酷。作为免费试玩的序章，案件设计完整，有五、六个出场角色，还有清晰的人物关系网络。只是一旦思路对不上卡关，就会变成不停打电话骚扰报案人和嫌疑人的疯子，推理容错率过大也有失真实感。

Хоть подсказки на уровне: (Их нет), но взлом и сюжет прописаны неплохо. Если вы готовы часами подбирать код или его загуглить, то добро пожаловать

Short, smart, and engaging. Recommended.

❤️ Ещё один мини отзыв, правда, в этот раз не по полноценной игре, а по демоверсии. Много не ожидало от игры, но была приятно удивлена. ❤️ "Вы кибердетектив Изабелла Сонг. Взламывайте камеры, телефоны и компьютеры, допрашивайте подозреваемых, анализируйте улики и делайте выводы. Но помните — в городе Фарка даже преступник может оказаться жертвой." ❤️ Как я уже говорила выше от игры много и не ожидало. Мы играем за девушку кибердектива, которая получает заказ на поиск кибер-терьера. Это преимущественно, новелла, так что - много диалогов. Но есть и несколько интерактивов, когда надо найти пароль и разгадать номер картриджа. Но, в особенности, мне понравились допросы людей. Я так с ними заколебалась, но как же это прикольно пытаться понять как узнать от персонажей инфу. ❤️ Короче, это демоверсия и я бы не хотела рассказывать слишком много, т.к. это штука бесплатная и её можно пройти самим. Поверьте - не пожалеете (а потом купить целую игру) 10/10

玩过之后感觉很棒，就是希望可以单独点击人物的头像可以区别查看信息和打电话，好几次只想查看信息但都是打了电话，但是故事内容很吸引我，我觉得很棒，解谜也不是很难，希望快快出正式版本。

"Song of Farca: Prologue" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Song of Farca". Song of Farca is a stupidly overpriced pixelcrap "more book than game" Choose Your Own Adventure with a sci-fi hacker detective theme that pretty much flopped hard on Steam. It's from Alawar, who are really more famous for shoveling crapware like RPG Maker asset flips onto Steam as desperate cash grabs. Like charging $20 for pixelcrap is a desperate cash grab. And so is abusing the "free" section of Steam with advertising. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Song of Farca, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Song of Farca: Prologue" too. Instead of following the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos]Official Steamworks Process For Demos[/url], the developer decided to pollute Steam with for-profit advertising. Whether this is deliberate and malicious, or simply ignorance and incompetence, the result is deceptive marketing. This is bad for gamers and bad for genuine developers who do the right thing, because they have to compete for visibility against these misleading advertisements. That's not okay! The "developer" behind this advertisement wants you to drop [b]$20 USD[/b], your money, on the real product. This is a predatory and misleading abuse of the "Free" section of Steam... and we know there's a proper proccess the developer didn't follow. Avoid this unethically marketed junkware and keep your money. This game is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now onto pricing and value. As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. In terms of public reception, the "free" price tag didn't help. This peaked at a handful of players and then immediately cratered. With a peak count of less than 50 gamers (out of over 130 million gamers and over 40 million daily logons), it’s safe to say the PC gaming community has collectively decided to ignore this, probably because of the reasons supplied in this review. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.

Отличный пролог. Покупайте полную версию.
