The Flower Collectors

Short and sweet, really strong story with a great artstyle

gg

A pretty short and fun experience played from the limited perspective of a person stuck in their room. You assist the person who can go outside as much as you can, and you piece the puzzle together yourself. My only gripe is that you can't adjust the look sensitivity on your mouse and I wasn't able to get my Xbox controller to work.

Original juego que te entretendrá durante un rato. El hecho de estar ambientado en el franquismo y en España, le da un punto "local" interesante, pero más en trasfondo, ya que la ambientación es muy genérica y con el uso de animales como personajes, podría ser cualquier otro lugar. Muy buena banda sonora, trama interesante con diferentes historias entremezcladas y mecánica sencilla. No es un juego nada complicado, y es casi más una aventura narrativa que un juego de puzzles. Pero es agradable de jugar. Eso sí, si eres completista, lo mismo algún logro se te atasca ya que no hay apenas ninguna pista de cómo sacar algunos o saber qué te estás perdiendo en la investigación.

Rear Window + 70's Barcelona Anti-Fascism = ♥♥♥♥♥♥ excellent.

This is a really, really good and interesting game about fascism. I highly rec it. The Flower Collectors is an interesting take on the Rear Window premise -- you play as Jorge, an ex-cop who is confined to a wheelchair in post-Franco Spain and you witness a strange murder from your balcony. That same night, a woman named Melinda knocks on the door of your apartment and begs you to hide her, though what she's running from isn't immediately clear. After letting her stay the night in your apartment, she tells you she's a journalist who was supposed to get some kind of intel from the murdered man. From your perch on your balcony, you investigate the crime, helped by Melinda, who can go speak with people and interact with things in the world below. Them game takes place just after Franco's death, in a period where restoring Spain to democracy is anything but certain. The extremely interesting choice it makes is to have the protagonist not be Melinda -- Jorge is an ex-cop who did and believed terrible things under the autocratic regime, and the story is very much about him moving from seeing Melinda as a dangerous extremist to starting to reckon with the reality of the harm he caused. The game's ability to be empathetic to Jorge while making it clear that what he and people like him did wasn't okay was impressive; it managed to make Jorge feel like a person and not just like, the worst Redditor. I think the choice to make Jorge disabled is a big part of this. For the first time in his life, he's an outsider in his own society -- he can't leave his ♥♥♥♥♥♥ apartment because the elevator doesn't work right, he feels unmanned and useless, and buys his own propaganda about the worthlessness of the disabled. His character arc about realizing the Nationalists are wrong is tied tightly to realizing his disability doesn't disqualify him from living a full life. I just... really liked the way the game portrays the impact of sudden disability. It mapped so well onto my own experiences and was clearly very carefully and meaningfully written. I think the game asks some hard questions about what it means to deprogram a fascist, because the truth is that Jorge's ability to reckon with himself can only happen because he's made an outsider. If he hadn't been injured, he would probably have been outside helping the cops beat up a homeless guy. On the other hand though, the game posits truth and community as a form of resistance -- Jorge's heart grew three sizes that day both because of his experiences, but also because of the relationships he starts to form with Melinda and people like Dona Anna, and you see him slowly but surely starting to care about the murdered man as more than just a corpse. Fascism can only be maintained by disconnection and lies. The journalist being the foil of the solider-cop is a key part of this as well. I just found this game weirdly... cathartic? I can't think of any other word for it, as a Minnesotan it made me feel better, made the burden of everything feel a bit lighter. It was just really good and affecting and I really loved it. I continue to not understand why furries make the best games but I'm beyond questioning it at this point. From here on out I consider furry art to be a reason to buy a game lol.

I haven't seen a game tackle this period of history before, nor did I know much about it until now. It makes me want to go and learn more about the post-Franco era. A brilliant game with well-rounded characters. Watching the characters swivel on a dime instead of turning naturally seems a little odd, but once you get past that, it's an interesting little game that would definitely recommend.

The story, voice acting, and overall idea of this game is really special. However, the execution of the game felt a bit underwhelming and weirdly off putting when comparing it to the more polished elements. I would recommend this game to people with like hella cash and who can look past certain things. But for the average goobers like me, I lean towards not getting it unless its really marked down during a sale or something.

8/10
