THE AWKWARD STEVE DUOLOGY

It isn’t easy to explain “THE AWKWARD STEVE DUOLOGY”. But I will bravely state that it manages to pull off a deceptively-unique experience that shines a spotlight on the thought-process of an awkward person with anxiety. This game captures the humor and turmoil of a seemingly mundane task as an anxious person might see it. The humorous distractions peppered throughout the experience mirrors the real-world mental exercises overthinkers go through to avoid that which brings them fear, no matter how ridiculous. It blurs the lines between creativity, humor, and fear, which is something every awkward person can relate to. The artistic license used in “Steve’s” interactions with everyday items helps to reinforce how silly the overarching fear may actually be. At the end of the day, I don’t believe this truth is lost on Steve. The final product is an experience that may hit too close to home for some. 10 out of 10 “hand” soaps

I'm so glad I stumbled across this game. It's simple and short, but genuinely entertaining. The Awkward Steve Duology is actually two short games, where you play as Steve, who suffers from Social Anxiety. The games are FMV games, that is Full Motion Video, or to put it more plainly, actual real life video clips. You're given options like OPEN THE DOOR or HIDE UNDER THE TABLE and then you pick one and a short video plays. So, pretty basic. I think what makes this game stand out is the quality of the writing. It's funny, and also relatable. The first adventure is about a stranger knocking on your door, and trying to reduce your anxiety enough to actually answer it. The second is about your housemate hosting a party and being too nervous to leave the bathroom. So, would I recommend? Yes. I don't think you even necessarily have to be into weird little indie games to give this one a shot. But it'd help. In any case, I give this 3.5/5 stars.

[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein Kurzes FMV Adventure [h1] Story [/h1] Wir spielen einen Mann namens "Steve", der anscheinend Angst Zustände hat. Wir spielen 2 verschiedene Geschichten bzw. Situation aus dem Alltag, die er überwinden muss [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Wir schauen uns die Geschichte bzw. die Videos an und treffen dann immer eine Entscheidung. Es gibt meist 3 Entscheidungs Möglichkeiten von denen wir natürlich eine Auswählen müssen. Falls eine Entscheidung mal zu einem Ende führt, kann man direkt vor der Wahl wieder anfangen. Ich weiß das es um ein ernstes Thema geht, ich habe selber schon mit Leuten zu tun gehabt die unter Angstzuständen leiden und das ist echt belastend für einen Solchen Menschen. Teilweise verstehe was das Spiel bzw. der Entwickler damit aussagen möchte aber der Humor der hier gezeigt wird, ist für mich persönlich überhaupt nichts, ich fand nichts davon Lustig. Es ist halt ein ganz spezieller Humor, den man mögen muss aber ich finde es nimmt dem Thema an sich die Ernsthaftigkeit [h1] Achievements [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 3 Erfolge. Hierfür muss man Beide Geschichten durchspielen und "Steve" an bestimmten Stellen sterben lassen [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Kurz + Achievements + Sammelkarten - Der Humor war absolut nicht meins (muss man mögen) [h1] Fazit [/h1] Ich kann das Spiel nur Achievement Hunter Empfehlen die ein schnelles 100% Spiel wollen. Der Humor war absolut nicht meins und ich fand es nahm das Thema die Ernsthaftigkeit. Soll es nun ein Comedy Spiel sein oder doch eher ein ernsthaftes Spiel, ich bin mir da nicht wirklich sicher. Es hat mir einfach nicht gefallen 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][/list]

Incredible touches of humanity, humor, and even some wicked good camera angles. It hits close to home in a delightfully surrealistic, yet still incredibly genuine, way. We are all Steve.

A short Visual Novel game. I recomment it. funny game. some endings. music is alright. price is in offer alright. all achievements work.

"A STRANGER COMES CALLING" spoke to my very soul.

This is the niche indie art house film of computer games. It's low budget, creative, weird, self-aware, awkward, heartfelt and if you've ever gone out of your way to find and support games (and developers) for no other reason than to thumb your nose at the AAA publishing houses and reward people who just want to build their own bizarre passion projects then add this one to the list, especially if it's on sale. If it was a film, it would only get screened at a couple of really small independent cinemas that only those in the know are even aware of because the Normals won't get it. :D
