Summertime Madness

A welcome surprise! It's quite a gorgeous game in many ways and really evoked some strong feelings in places just with very effective atmosphere setting! One puzzle can get in the sea, I still don't understand how you're meant to find the solution other than by horrific trial and error, but everything else was challenging in a fun way, solutions felt really satisfying! It is a bit fond of confusing mazes, and sometimes I felt like I was expected to be able to mentally juggle pieces in my head way over what I'm capable of doing, but I did get through it

It looks quite nice but that's about it. tedious, long walking sections and a lot of backtracking, pulling levers here and there, mazes... some of the mechanics dont even make any sense. i.e. how am I supposed to know that I have to set the audio volume to zero in the game settings to progress the game at one point? I lowered mine cause the sound was annoyingly loud. but to zero? who comes up with this? I quit probably somewhere mid to end game....I dont know and dont care tbh - was just not fun.

What would have been a beautiful walking simulator if it wasn't full of time-wasting and pace-killing trial and error "puzzles". I knew the reviews weren't great going in, but for $0.95 on sale I figured it was worth a shot and installed it a few weeks later. My first urge to refund came after starting the game and learning that WASD was mandatory. I found that I could muddle through on a PS controller, and pressed on. An hour in, after being presented with the genuinely impressive revelation of Neo Prague, I fell asleep while trying to navigate the labyrinthine switch puzzle contained within. After waking up and removing my character's face from the wall he had been treadmilling against for the last minute, I gave up. This wasn't fun, nor did the artwork outweigh the chore. I considered refunding for the second time, only to remember the pittance I paid for it and was too embarrassed to ask.

Wouldn't the solitary tortured artist want to stay in his paintings? ~Hints are available, but they must be exchanged for time. I only used one right before quitting and it wasn't helpful.

大部分解谜挺一般的，楼梯那关很惊艳，水上城市也不错。个人感觉一些提示没啥卵用，白白消耗了过关的时间。而且所有的谜题还都有个共同特点，就是突出一个绕路，我在水上城市那里绕着绕着就忘了之前的机关在哪了。不过场景和美术不错，打折不亏，py几块钱血赚。 看了下别人的通关视频，我在最终的终点前也只有几个机关要踩，但鉴于游戏主角跑得实在是不够快，而且谜题还各种绕路，所以就不打算玩第二遍了。

画面和美术风格喜欢，风景和雕塑之类的设计都很不错。 不过感觉剧情和标题没啥关系啊，也不知道哪里summer哪里mad。关卡标题感觉有哲学意识流，但其实不太明白。 谜题的设计有点没品位。前几关的表现还不错，好看的风景加上好懂的谜题，机关和门都在目及之处，稍微绕一下就解决了。 然而从“地下室”开始就越来越灾难了……错位的空间，传送门完全没有逻辑，全靠瞎走和背板找路。“未来的回忆”更是对路痴的极大不友好。相似的风景，还分成了两个平行世界……根本不知道机关和门在哪里，绕路也绕不明白。游戏内置的提示也根本什么都没提示……最后靠跟着视频攻略一步步走才通过……最后“时间”的大迷宫更是无语，纯纯的迷宫，分叉多，走很远然后是个死路。也根本不知道目标在哪里，总之所有的岔路都走了就找到了，完全靠穷举……通关之后也是一点成就感没有。 不至于差评，但是没有中评，而且我确实不会推荐给其他玩家，就这样吧。

This is one of those games that you shouldn't let the reviews dissuade you. If you like puzzles and out of the ordinary games then try it. I enjoyed this. It was weird at times but creative and had a lot of 'aha!' moments.

A mecânica de timer não combina nada com o estilo do jogo, principalmente porque a maioria dos puzzles são só de andar de um lado para o outro com um personagem bastante lento, mas pelo menos o jogo é bonito.

謎題感覺不是很難 但有點考驗記憶和空間邏輯 試錯時要走來走去的 有時風景看一看走完一段路就會想 這個機關是關聯哪裡的來著? 描寫劇情的部分不多 但挺喜歡這劇情的

Jeśli lubisz błąkać się bez celu w labiryncie lub chodzić w nieskończoność po schodach, to ta gra jest dla ciebie. W przeciwnym razie zdecydowanie odradzam. Na pewno nie kupiłabym jej ponownie, a teraz po jej przejściu żałuję, że jest w mojej bibliotece. Jak dla mnie zagadki nie są specjalnie ciekawe, raczej to co autor miał na myśli jest po prostu mocno abstrakcyjne albo musisz się nachodzić (nie wiadomo po co tak) bardzo długo, żeby znaleźć kolejny fragment układanki. Dodatkowo osiągnięcia są bezsensowne: robienie czegoś kilkadziesiąt (!!!) razy, tracąc czas nie na rozwiązywaniu zagadek, ale na zwykłym czekaniu, aż coś zaskoczy w grze. W sumie idealne podsumowanie dla tej gry to tracenie swojego czasu. Jedyną dobrą rzeczą w tej grze jest akceptowalna grafika.

绝了，神级美术效果，剧情看着很少实则信息量很大，解密设计很好 但是解密有点难度，而且很多时候要跑图
