My brain tickles
This game is calm and soothing. It does also have quite good but admittedly easy puzzles. It does, however, rely heavily on AI. Now ethically you can go eitherway so I'll ignore that, the images do range in quality and inspiration but usually (not usually) don't stick out badly (though some of them are slop). Being AI also means some funky things can be done which would have been possibly more difficult using real artists as the costs would have gone through the roof to achieve what they have. I mean its free (ignoring addon) you couldn't do this without ai art. Take this game for what it is, soothing but imperfect. A bit weird yes but not jarringly so. Its a vibe.
muito bom

Nice pictures and an interessting game idea. I liked playing.
The game overall is fine, I really have no complaints. The puzzles are a bit uninspired but the actual bad part of the game is the use of AI art. Others have pointed out that there is also some dubious PC usage, usually linked to bitcoin miners and the like, but I'm not as well versed in that aspect so I'll talk about what I do know. Its painfully obvious where AI has been used, and in reality I think a better path forward would have been to use actual art with proper credits. Many works go into the public domain after a period of time, and finding them would not take much longer than generating them Making everything up using ChatGPT works fast, but having a game literally about a museum and then not using actual creations basically takes any and all possible soul out of the design. The puzzles of the game are a strange bag, some of them actually have you think about design and how the mix of paintings work together. Those puzzles are genuinely good. But for each of those good puzzles, there is a handful of simple and mindless puzzles. Click a button until it shows what the text says, read numbers off the paintings and put them into a keypad, count an object in the photos, read numbers in order, etc. There is no real inspiration to them. If there was even an ounce of actual interest put into these puzzles they could be miles better. Overall I would say that there is some promise to the puzzles, but most of them are quite bland. Developer, if this is your first game, you did a fine job. However there are clearly some points of bad design that should be painfully obvious even to you. I would love to revisit this later for future updates, but as it stands it feels like AI slop as others are pointing out. If you could make use of actual art, there would be a massive potential. If you continue to develop this game as you mentioned in the game, then maybe play around with branching out the puzzle style more, play around with more interesting uses of the setting and ideas that you have, but please for the love of god scrap the AI art.
Galeria.
It's fine for what it is. There aren't any truly difficult puzzles, so it should only take 30 minutes or so to get through. It does use AI art, though, which is obviously a deal breaker for many. There's also a puzzle that many in the reviews have mentioned in which you need to [spoiler]scan a QR code[/spoiler]. Rest assured, it isn't anything malicious. Anyway, give it a try if you have a little bit of time you need to kill.
Довольно неплохо; лучше, чем предвещают отзывы.
Ich muss zugeben, dass ich bei "The Gallery" sehr gemischte Gefühle habe. Auf der einen Seite gefällt mir das grundlegende Spielprinzip ausgesprochen gut, auf der anderen Seite gibt es eine Paywall, die mehr als nur frustrierend erscheint. Der größte Pluspunkt des Spiels ist dabei eindeutig das Gameplay. Man wandert entspannt durch eine Kunstausstellung und löst auf Grundlage der verschiedenen Ausstellungsräume kleinere Rätsel. Dabei verzichtet das Spiel vollständig auf Stress oder Zeitdruck, wodurch eine sehr harmonische und entschleunigende Atmosphäre entsteht. Die Rätsel selbst gehören zwar nicht zu den schwierigsten ihrer Art, allerdings scheint das auch gar nicht das Ziel des Spiels zu sein. Statt komplexer Denkaufgaben setzt "The Gallery" bewusst auf Entspannung. Aus diesem Grund vermisst man anspruchsvollere Rätsel in dem Sinne nur selten. Auch die Grafik trägt positiv zum Gesamterlebnis bei. Die Gestaltung der Galerie wirkt stimmig und unterstützt die ruhige Atmosphäre des Spiels sehr gut. Zugegebenermaßen wurden die Kunstwerke mithilfe von KI erstellt, was sicherlich nicht jedem gefallen wird. Für mich stellt dies jedoch keine allzu große Abschreckung dar, da es sich letztlich um ein Free-to-play-Spiel handelt und die Ressourcen für die Erstellung zahlreicher eigener Kunstwerke vermutlich begrenzt waren. Allerdings gibt es einen Punkt, der mich deutlich stört. Obwohl das Spiel kostenlos angeboten wird, sind einige Achievements hinter einem kostenpflichtigen DLC verborgen. Gerade für Spieler, die gerne alle Erfolge sammeln, wirkt diese Entscheidung unnötig frustrierend und hinterlässt einen faden Beigeschmack. Alles in allem lässt sich sagen, dass "The Gallery" als entspanntes und harmonisches Spielerlebnis sehr gut funktioniert. Das Spielprinzip geht auf, die Atmosphäre stimmt und das Erkunden der Ausstellung macht Spaß und ist für Spieler, die ein entspanntet kleines Erlebnis suchen auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen, Achievement-Hunter und Spieler, die KI-generierten Inhalten grundsätzlich kritisch gegenüberstehen, sollten ihre Erwartungen jedoch entsprechend anpassen. Müsst ihr wissen!
I love art so I really enjoy seeing all the different art portraits and I have discovered with this game that I like solving riddles.
