Це не гра, а скоріше Proof of Concept, і в такому розрізі працює воно ефективно. Єдине що хотілося б трохи більше ніж 3 варіанти розвитку.
Really cool game, worth picking up especially on sale.
Fundamental to our worldview must be a belief in the capacity for all people to change. Otherwise, cynicism is all that awaits us, and that is no way to live. Fundamental to change is challenge. If you don't ever allow yourself to be challenged, then you will never change. And if you didn't ever change... I understand the fear of challenge, coming face-to-face with potential failure. I don't necessarily think this is cowardice, but you are doing yourself a disservice by avoiding challenge. How will you ever know who you really are if you aren't pushed to your limits? What more could you be capable of if you only allowed yourself to fail, pick up the pieces, and try again? Oh, how we fear failure, when stagnancy is a far greater threat! You are so much more than your failures, and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. You are, however, defined by how you respond to failure, and whether you allow it to push you closer toward the best version of yourself. Seek challenge, give grace to yourself in failure, and keep living.
Минус ток один она короткая
Very straightforward delivery on its premise. Visuals are great. Still, it was a little too simple of an experience for me.
wow this game is fun. i 100%'ed it at only 100 minutes, but i definitely wont be refunding. i was debating getting the game on itch, but i think its better to get it on steam. i had fun, got the achievements, and really loved the story. i wish the hero and queen had a happy ending, but some things are eternal.
Прошёл менее за пол часа.... Идея прикольная, НО... диалоги слабые разнообразия нет Можно было бы сделать ещё 2-3 типа босса, с другими приёмами.... Рефанд не стал делать, всё таки что-то новое, но это всё таки демка, а не игра....
Amazing game, almost made me cry. Straight to the point and very well executed.
