Sunray OS is a very contained experience, which has its ups and downs. As an entry in the "fake computer" genre, it's fairly minimalist -- there aren't many programs on the computer, you only need to interact with most programs once, and a lot of the buttons on the websites are clickable but don't lead anywhere. The dev team seems small, so I understand why there isn't more content. As it is, everything in the game points you directly to the next plot point. The plot is pretty engaging. After a brief (but strange) intro to your new system, you're tossed right into the big mystery that looms over the whole game -- where did this computer's previous owner go? I liked the direction the story went, it was a cool and novel (to me, at least) idea that was just on the verge of making real social commentary (it reminded me a bit of the cashier-free Amazon store scandal from a few years ago). The characters are somewhat bare-bones, they're only here to keep the plot moving and not to be interesting in their own right. J4Z3 and Ryan could've had a lot more emotional depth to them. Barring the clickable buttons issue I mentioned earlier, I liked the webpages. junktrunkryan and ibelonghere were especially charming. The horror instances are very analog horror, which I tend to find more funny than scary. I laughed out loud multiple times at Zippy's transformations (which isn't an insult to the game! I don't think laughter was the intended response, but it was genuinely so funny to me). Some of the jumpscares did get me and the more extended horror sequences (like the theater performance and the door knocking) were effective. That one gif during the assessment test at the end was also great. I liked when the game had me interact with it in ways I wasn't expecting. The 3D portions really shocked me when they came up (one of them is literally in the trailer but I bought this game a year or so before I played it, so I'd forgotten about it), the QR code was cool, and I conceptually liked the morse code puzzle even though I had to look up a playthrough on youtube to get the answer (my fault, the morse code guide I used didn't include punctuation :( ). LOVED the sea turtle and bear videos. Also loved the tennis ball profile pic. Overall, I had a lot of fun with Sunray OS and I appreciate that it has a clear vision of what it wants to do and how. Anyone who's a fan of fake OS games might find this a bit slight but it's well worth a try. I look forward to what the dev will put out next! Good game !!
I really enjoyed this game. It was a fun, short experience. The story was quite nice, but I found the puzzles a bit difficult. The price is okay. I'm a little surprised that hardly anyone knows about the game, considering meta horror has become such a popular genre. I can recommend the game.
um it was alright. had some cool moments.
this will be bonzi buddy in 2025
I enjoy it. Not the best, but is not bad.
Excellent investigative indie game with a memorably dark ending. Highly recommended.
Il gioco si presenta come un'idea interessante, già esplorata in titoli come Kinito PET, ma comunque divertente da provare in prima persona. Tuttavia, ci sono diversi aspetti che meritano delle critiche. Il gameplay, purtroppo, risulta carente di sostanza e fortemente ripetitivo. Circa l'80% dell'esperienza si concentra su conversazioni in stile visual novel, ma senza alcuna possibilità di scegliere il dialogo, per poi proseguire cercando siti web nel browser in-game per interagire nuovamente con i pochi personaggi disponibili. Sebbene la struttura di gioco in sé non sarebbe un problema, la mancanza di una narrazione coinvolgente rende difficile immergersi nell’esperienza. I dialoghi, spesso deboli e forzati, ruotano attorno a una trama che mi è sembrata ridicola e quasi comica, con numerosi buchi narrativi, spiegazioni mancanti e una conclusione che, a mio parere, risulta prevedibile ma comunque poco giustificata. L’aspetto horror del gioco non è gestito nel modo migliore: non c'è alcuna costruzione della tensione e, fin dall'inizio, la principale fonte di "paura" è affidata a numerosi jumpscare, che risultano più cheap che spaventosi. Nonostante questi difetti, ho apprezzato alcune sezioni puzzle e la componente 3D del gioco. Alcuni passaggi che utilizzano l'audio sono intriganti, ma in generale il tutto sarebbe potuto senz'altro essere stato sviluppato meglio. Dal punto di vista estetico, il gioco appare confusionario. Non mi riferisco tanto all'uso di un assistente AI che richiama Clippy di Microsoft (che, tra l'altro, si comporta più come una versione di ChatGPT..), quanto alla cura generale del design. La maggior parte delle sezioni del gioco sono gradevoli visivamente, ma, ironicamente, le sequenze horror sembrano appartenere ad un gioco completamente diverso, con PNG modificati in modo "spooky", animazioni lente e grafiche piuttosto... bruttine.. In definitiva, il gioco sembra più un prodotto di prova. Considerato il prezzo contenuto, si può considerare accettabile, soprattutto perché non ha grandi pretese e non delude in modo eclatante. Onestamente, credo che le aspettative siano state influenzate dalla mia esperienza con Kinito PET: sebbene i concetti di base siano simili, i due giochi sono fondamentalmente diversi, per il meglio e per il peggio. Invito lo sviluppatore a continuare il suo lavoro, nonostante la recensione un po' harsh, il prodotto è stato divertente, c'è molto potenziale. :) VOTO: 3.5/10
this game is not too scary. but the jumpscares scared me. it has realistic computer things and i like the story.
That's the life of an AI, just waiting, waiting for people to ask their boring questions. Really made me think, good job.
