An immersive world of absurdity and mysteries beautifully crafted atmospheric graphics and captivating story make you think and smile at the same time perfect for fans of unique experiences.
"Mixed" recommendation. This is a puzzle adventure, so unlike other adventure games the focus is on solving a series of puzzle rooms rather than having much of a story (which is fine). The puzzles themselves are fairly brain-scratchy and difficult (a lot of [spoiler] visual interpretation of letters/numbers/symbols, etc. [/spoiler] ), which is a plus for me. Purely as a game, I'd say this is rather good. If you are a fan of Franz Kafka in any sort of way however, prepare to be vastly disappointed; the author seems to interprete Kafka's stories via a style of surrealism associated more with paintings of said movement as well as some Burrough thrown in for good measure. What this means is that we are given random superficial Kafka quotes and literal imagery which are entirely distorted and deprived from their original contexts (particular victims being "Der Landarzt", "Die Metamorphose" and "Der Proceß"). Don't get me wrong: there's tons of valid and legitimate ways to interprete a work or draw inspiration from it. But if I call something "The Spider-Man game" and then have Peter Parker being a man in his thrties that collects spider posters and then at some point decides to hit the gym while saying "with great power comes great responsibility...to remove my belly flab", then at best that could be a pretty funny take on it. But if done in a deadpan serious artistic sense, where you understand that the author, in fact is *fully serious* with this description, you get more of an..."oh no" kind of feel. That is this game. This is *not* The Franz Kafka Videogame. This is a videogame with Franz Kafka paraphernalia stickers slapped onto it.
Нет, не советую. Да, визуально игра симпатичная, звук тоже норм, есть интересные отсылки. Но играть не в удовольствие. Головоломки сделаны неинтуитивно. Я прошла много подобных игр и обычно они затягивают, но тут же приходилось себя уговаривать дойти до конца. Всё какое-то странное и затянутое. Ачивки тоже раздражают. Одна - пройти без подсказок, другая - пройти с каждой подсказкой. А между подсказками - таймер в 3 минуты, плюс долгие анимации. Это просто утомляет. 4/10.
Quite a beautiful little game. The puzzles though were really frustrating. Although that might be just a me issue.
Well. That was. Different.
Das Spiel: - sieht ganz nett aus - bietet kleine simple "Rätsel" in 4 Kapiteln - ist sehr kurz; ca. ne Stunde für einen Durchlauf - bleibt nicht wirklich im Kopf; habe es jetzt nach knapp 2 Jahren nochmal gespielt, um die 100% zu bekommen und konnte mich an nur wenige Details erinnern [spoiler] das Achievement mit den Hinweisen dauert gefühlt ne halbe Ewigkeit, weil jeder Hint einen Timer hat, bis man ihn nutzen kann & man im Normalfall in der Zeit schon die nächsten 5 Rätsel locker lösen könnte, 1 Hint pro Rätsel abzuwarten reicht aber scheinbar :) [/spoiler] Habe es 2023 für 69ct im Sale erworben, dafür isses schon alright, für mehr als 2-3€ würde ich es aber nicht kaufen.
Küçük akıl oyunları yapan tatlış bi oyun tavsiye ederim. Çıtırında bitiyo
The game is thouroughly absurd, maybe a bit boring. Certainly Kafkaesque 7/10 Surreal Dreams
通关了许久了,还是觉得这个游戏的游戏音乐很好听,从这个值得好评,希望作者能出个音乐集(幻想时刻)
Graficamente delizioso, rientra nella categoria "puzzle game Amanita's style", dove per avanzare nel gioco viene richiesto al giocatore di risolvere piccoli enigmi "cliccando qua e là" a cercando di capirne la logica, non sempre chiara. Un paio di enigmi (di tipo "linguistico", per i quali è richiesto un minimo di conoscenza dell'inglese, non essendo possibile tradurli) mi sono piaciuti molto, essendo necessario fare ricorso al pensiero laterale per risolverli. Altri sono invece molto meno ispirati (clicca qui, clicca lì, cerca di capire la sequenza giusta di click per avanzare). Nota DOLENTISSIMA: tra i puzzle non ispirati c'è uno stramaledetto "gioco dei 15" (ancora nel 2026 - pardòn 2017 - !?!), nel caso specifico un gioco "dei 9" pure da risolvere in modo non convenzionale: ammetto che mi ha stroncato (ma prometto che il gioco lo finirò). Confezione nel complesso molto gradevole, con musiche carine e localizzazione in varie lingue tra cui l'italiano. Trama per il momento abbastanza "sconclusionata" e onirica, ma ci sta visto il soggetto del gioco. Voto (parziale): 6.5 su 10 Corollario alla recensione parziale, dopo aver terminato il gioco. Esperienza di gioco molto breve, l'ho terminato in due ore metà delle quali passate a risolvere l'enigma dei 15 (😂, scherzo... ma non del tutto!). Confermo l'assenza di una vera trama, il collegamento con le opere di Kafka è limitato a qualche citazione e niente più. La parte migliore rimane la grafica, ogni quadro del gioco sembra (e probabilmente lo è) una tavola disegnata a mano. Però oltre a questo non c'è molto, e i restanti enigmi che ho incontrato si sono confermati poco interessanti, mai chiari o logici, e non sempre soddisfacenti. Nel complesso abbasso il voto a 6 su 10. Visto il tutto e vista la breve durata lo consiglio solo in forte sconto (tipo adesso che costa meno di un caffè)
