[h3]Story (1/5)[/h3] A story created by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I will now swiftly spoil the whole story for you so that you don't have to waste your time. Karen (Charon) drops you off in front of the entrance to a city of modern day Rome. No, not Ancient Rome like the Steam description says, but the modern, gayer, fake version of Ancient Rome. The type you could see being described on r/History. Anyway, you find out that there is a Golden Rule in this place and that no one can leave. The Golden Rule is that if one person commits a crime, everyone turns to gold. You have the ability to time travel, so you try to figure out a way to stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥ from committing crimes and get everyone out of this California. Skip the boring ass 7 hours of doing fetch quests and going back and forth to solve every minor ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inconvenience for everyone with a pulse, and you finally uncover the truth behind this entire system and place. Aliens. That's right. Aliens made a wager over whether humanity can go without sin for a year in this hellhole. So they tossed around a thousand silver coins onto Earth, and whoever possessed one at the moment of death would get transported into this experiment chamber known as *The Forgotten City*. This ♥♥♥♥ clearly doesn't work, so you and another ♥♥♥♥♥ named Al are the last two coin holders. If you both ♥♥♥♥ up, humanity is ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Oh, and Al killed himself at the start of the game, so now it's up to you to persuade this alien that he is wrong. I persuade him by threatening to kill his wife using the power of his wife (time travel), and instead of frying my soul to dust right then and there, he decides to let all of us go back to Earth. Like, I don't know how Pluto is this retarded. You have the technology to pull souls out of people into a fake afterlife. Surely you can zap my ass right then and there before I run a kilometer back to the starting point of the fast travel. So the basic message of the game is that God is a retarded alien and that there is no such thing as a single true moral system. Wonderful. This "game" is clearly made by people who think they have the whole world figured out and are very proud of themselves, and definitely not by retarded atheists. [b][i]Now imma drop a truth nuke on every atheist reading this. You are an atheist because you have done wrong in your life. You have, in fact, sinned, and instead of repenting and asking for forgiveness, you have decided to double down and make up ♥♥♥♥ about morality and sin not existing. This doubling down is rewarded with the praise of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ on Reddit, Discord, X, etc. However, this is all cope, because eventually you will pass on, but not into Heaven. You will go to Hell. What type of Hell is dependent on the religion your parents practiced and tried to pass on to you. But since you have a gigantic ego and think you are right all the time, you have decided to forsake not only your parents but your future kin and community. You are like Saint Peter, except you have forsaken your God at every opportunity you had, without thinking twice about it. The eternal reward for that retarded behavior is simply Hell. So no amount of coping and validation whoring online will help you. Your fate is already sealed. I can only hope that your future kin won't join you in your eternal suffering.[/i][/b] Anyway, my main problem with the story is that it's lame and gay. It takes a good premise, smashes it over the head with r/atheism, r/history, and every other morally wrong idea while trying to present them as correct. In this mortal world, you have committed one true wrong that every normal adult across the world, from every religion, can agree on. You wasted the time and money of everyone who tried to give your game a chance. [h3]Gameplay (1/5)[/h3] If you watch the game on YouTube, you've basically played the game. But don't even watch it, because there is nothing worthwhile to see. There are no major choices until the end, and even those choices are retarded. It is simply not a game, but the sad cries of someone who is to be damned. Very sad to see. [h3]Difficulty (1/5)[/h3] Walking sim. [h3]Game Time (1/5)[/h3] Wasted. [h3]Graphics (1/5)[/h3] Historically accurate California, not Rome. [h3]Music and Sound Design (1/5)[/h3] Why do they talk like that? Ah, that's right. Californians are inhuman. [h3]Performance (2/5)[/h3] Laggy-ass game. [h3]Price (1/5)[/h3] 24,99€? If you give even 1€ to this game, then you are willingly paying someone to waste the next 6-10 hours of your life. Just get a friend to keep choking you out if you want to waste that time. [h1][b]Final Verdict ([u]1/5[/u])[/b][/h1] Atheist made ♥♥♥♥. Not even a game, just ♥♥♥♥. As are all things that self proclaimed atheists make. Very sad behavior, and I pray that they improve in every aspect of their lives.
Incredible
劇情讚
时间循环、祖父悖论、统治者阴谋、冥界真相、信仰更替、高维神族...... 一切都可以形成逻辑闭环,一篇高质量的神话故事
Good game, The story is fascinating and intriguing.
A pesar de las buenas críticas que tiene no le veo justificación... y eso hablando en rebajas porque a precio completo es una burrada... Es un bucle y vas descubriendo y avanzando en la historia a medida que vas rompiendo las normas de esa civilización y volviendo nuevamente al principio, pero es que las preguntas a las diferentes personas que tienes que investigar y ir sacando información sobre ellas a ver quien va a cometer un delito son extremadamente repetitivas, además que las respuestas que te ofrecen los npc no te hacen meterte en la historia, más bien quieres saltarlo todo de lo poco interesantes que son. Mi recomendación es, si de verdad quieres darle un change y probar por ti mismo, irte a instantgaming y pillarlo por 2 euros.
Fantastic game
incredible
