Gostei muito do jogo! Espero que eles tragam finais diferente para jogo tipo aqueles game onde sua fala ou escolha pode levar para um final canônico diferente, seria até bacana porquê o jogo está bem curtinho mesmo, zerei uns duas vezes em menos de uma hora.
A short and though provoking story of the final bosses we die to and dispose of in games. 8/10 It's a great game. Pros: Beautiful writing. Beautiful pixel art. Multiple endings, some thru unexpected means. Low price. Cons: Short, one specific ending felt impossible without a guide to how to do it.
Jogo super curto mas com uma temática muito legal. E SE VOCÊ FOSSE UM BOSS FINAL DE UM SOULSLIKE QUE SÓ ESPERA JOGADOR VOLTAR CADA VEZ MELHOR PRA TENTAR TE MATAR? Eu achei muito legal. E bem fácil de fazer todas as conquistas. Adorei a experiência e recomendo.
Два раза прошел, два раза поплакал. Спасибо. Удивительно как в диалогах по две строчки можно так прописать химию персонажей
It's hard to write much about this game without spoiling it. It took both my partner and I around a half an hour to play through this normally, so saying more than "You are the Dark Queen" says too much. It's best to try to play knowing as little as possible and really playing the role of the Dark Queen. I feel like I'll think about what this game was trying to show and tell me for for quite a while even though one could probably get all the achievements in less than and hour or two. This game isn't for everyone, but it's only a few bucks and, if you do hate it, you've only spent 20-40 minutes of your time. Loved the look of the game. the graphics were simple, but nice. The retro feel matched the theme of the game pretty well.
хорошая игра, очень короткая, можно пройти на 100% буквально за 30 минут.
A game where you get to be the big bad at the end; crushing the hopes and dreams of the hero. Short, but beautiful in its own way.
An eloquent commentary on Souls games and difficulty in games in general. My favorite micro game so far. It left me wanting more.
It's novel to see it from the boss' perspective, I loved that bit. Less pleasant was the heroine countering moves she had not seen before. There's no point in keeping your moves hidden, because progression is tied to the number of times she died. That's about all that needs be said about this, as the concept is very simple. Oh, and the art is great. Go make that heroine abandon all hope!
