A totally different game I have ever played, striking artwork within game play along with narrative political subjects an a game that makes you think about decisions. Surreal to play in black and white, which adds more feel to the game in itself. The music so cool! Built on adventure, survival and tasks. A great game!
A two to three hour experience in the wilderness, crossing a border for a better future, The Man Came Around by Pipette Inc is an interesting experience in two-folds: its current message for the ongoing tumultuous politics and its hope for the future. As a game made by a single developer, The Man Came Around came with some issues at launch - but there was a quick response and a quicker patch to solve the issues. I recommend this game for anybody with an interest with survival games with characters and resources management.

It's a little formulaic but pretty impressive and unique.
西洋特有の政府は無条件に悪いとか、犯罪者、アナキストへのロマンが強い。 でも、ゲーム自体はかなり楽しめるし、楽しくプレーした。 日本語とか他の言語も志願したら良かったと思う。
Great game
boring game with bugs
Recommended, great game.

Игра 'The Man Came Around' - это атмосферное и медитативное приключение, заставляющее задуматься о простых вещах. Визуально игра выполнена в минималистичном, но очень стильном ключе, что отлично подчеркивает гнетущую атмосферу надвигающегося апокалипсиса. Геймплей сводится к исследованию умирающего мира, поиску ресурсов и взаимодействию с другими персонажами, каждый из которых имеет свою историю и моральные принципы. Сюжет не рассказывает напрямую, что происходит, оставляя игроку самому собирать кусочки информации из окружения и диалогов. Это создает ощущение вовлеченности и заставляет почувствовать себя настоящим участником событий. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет общую картину и усиливает эмоциональное воздействие игры. 'The Man Came Around' - это не просто игра, это опыт, который надолго остается в памяти. Рекомендую всем, кто ценит глубокие и атмосферные инди-проекты, заставляющие задуматься о жизни и смерти.
It's a short survival point and click game with a cool art style. The messaging is a bit on the nose, but ultimately completely necessary especially with how things are currently. If you got 2 hours I think it's worth it. Especially if you try to keep all the survivors alive.
