Symploke: Legend of Gustavo Bueno (Chapter 1)

Juegazo retro como los que ya no queda, tiene sus cosas por pulir, pero desde luego con su humor singular y ambientación particular unas risas te hechas. Gran trabajos chicos!

"Symploke: Legend of Gustavo Bueno (Chapter 1)" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Symploke". Symploke is a simple point and click adventure... not genuinely made, it was slapped out/kitbashed with the godawful Adventure Game Studio, a simple construction kit that allows anyone to drag and drop stuff to make a Scumm/Sierra like adventure game with no programming (or game development) skill needed whatsoever. This kitbash is basically Leisure Suit Larry if Larry is a Spanish philosopher made with MS-Paint. It's a joke, a poorly done franchise. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not the entirety Symploke, it's just an advertisment for the consecutive paid chapters that make up most of th egame, 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 "Symploke: Legend of Gustavo Bueno (Chapter 1)" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $4 USD on buying all the chapters, and I don't recommend you do that either. This advert is fairly dated at 8 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 on to pricing and value for gamers. 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 inocuous 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. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the advert peaked at only 10 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Failure in advertising, and I'm glad to see fellow Steam gamers showed discernment by avoiding this ad. 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.

deseando que me pongan el segundo capitulo.es un puntazo volver a ver este tipo de juegos.

Tremendo juego me encanta este tipo de juegos os lo recomiendo muchisimo. Jugarlo y a disfrutarlo

Игра «Symploke: Legend of Gustavo Bueno (Chapter 1)» — это атмосферный инди-адвенчура с элементами мистики и философской глубины. Сюжет разворачивается вокруг таинственного героя, исследующего загадочные события в мире, где реальность и сны переплетаются. Графика стильная, с акцентом на атмосферу и детализацию окружения. Геймплей предполагает решение головоломок и исследование, но местами кажется сырым — диалоги сухие, а механики не всегда интуитивны. Звуковое сопровождение усиливает напряжённость. Хотя игра не без недостатков, она оставляет яркое впечатление и вызывает интерес к продолжению.

Una aventura gráfica de las que lamentablemente ya no se crean. Pesonajes originales y con carisma, buen doblaje y gráficos para la época y un argumento entretenido, además de ser aún más disfrutable siendo de España. Muy recomendado.
