[h1]In Short: Adorable and charming game that has an interesting playstyle and several fun mini-games to keep the player engaged and interested[/h1] https://youtu.be/Lw0JXHjKw8M https://youtu.be/OdIo61i_C2s This game...it's sort of difficult to explain properly. You play through the game as one of two main characters (whom you can name. In my game my viewers named them SANIC and Tails :P) trying to revive a rundown theater by putting on various plays. [i]How[/i] you produce the plays is one of the more interesting mechanics: you pick a different 'card' for the different plot points of the play (Subject, Location, Purpose, Encounter, and Outcome). You can either try and appease the audience by catering to their desires for what they want to see on stage, or go in your own weird path (Can anyone say ALL BEAR ALL THE TIME?!). When you act out the play, you have to be on your toes: the audience will throw things at you.[i]EVEN IF THEY LIKE YOU[/i]...one must suffer for their art, it seems. The problem is, you only start off with a limited number of cards, and have to go exploring and fulfilling quests and minigames to unlock more. This is where the game can be hit or miss. Some people will love the minigames, while others may tire of them quickly, especially since money seems to flow slowly (at least at first) and time seems to move quickly. That's the other thing: the game has a clock, and it's [b]ALWAYS[/b] running. Talking to NPCs? Time's ticking. Doing a minigame? Time's ticking. Putting on a play? Yep...time's ticking. To me it made me feel rushed as I tried to unlock and do all the different things in the game. Each in-game day only has about 8-10 minutes of useable time in it before it's too late to do anything and you need to sleep. At least the time would only change if you changed maps (going inside a room, for example) so if you were trying to accomplish something at a particular area, the game would at least be forgiving in this aspect. Finally, the UI could use some work. Hitting Esc simply brings you back to the title screen (the game autosaves, thankfully) and hitting X brings up your HUD with shows gold and the time. Navigating through other in-game menus you find, such as the ideas book for unlocking what people want to see, is very clunky. You have to buy hints for what people want to see, but there was zero indication of WHICH hint you were unlocking...so I spent far more gold on a page just trying to unlock one thing when it would unlock the others. On the whole...I liked it. It's charming, different, and unique. The art style fits it perfectly, and it's all really well done and expressive, even for having no nose ;P +Unique Gameplay Mechanics in the play, and putting it on +Tons of minigames to keep players engaged and interested +Interesting story that keeps you wanting to move it forward +Rules for the minigames are explained clearly +Lots of areas to explore and NPCs to chat up for ideas for plays =The character moves a little slower than I would have liked, especially since you are on a timer =Gold was harder to earn, but almost every task you do earns some =What people want to see can be kind of hit or miss, depending on which order you do it in, and if you use the special hint book or not -The timer makes the game feel far too rushed -Clunky, unintuitive UI, aside from the minigames, makes navigating menus difficult and unwieldy -Lacks true direction. While there is an end-game, how to get there is muddy, and almost TOO open for the player to find.

If you're the kind of person who loves talking to every person in an RPG town, then this is the game for you! Everybody has something different to say and the plays are really customisable. The dodge mechanic is thankfully easy to learn in the early parts of the game for those who are rubbish at reaction times like I am, haha. It's a fun little game and the art is just super.
魔性游戏,一口气玩了9小时! 部分观众的对话是需要认真读的,然后根据他们的需求,演出特定的剧。 不要死磕左上角的桥和船,游戏主线是收集卡片。 瞎转悠的确能够推进剧情,但在玩几小时后把地图转遍了就没有新剧情了,一个感叹号的npc都没有。这才发现自己没搞清楚游戏玩法导致卡关。 [list] [*]主线任务,靠【收集卡片数】推进。 收集卡片,需要演出含有【观众指定元素】的剧。 不同观众想要的元素,在三个演出的地方都有本【红色的书】能查,通过金币解锁具体内容。 想要得到卡片,剧[u]不仅需要[/u]【含有观众指定的元素】,[u]还需要[/u]【把卡片摆放在正确位置】。 [*]排列组合演戏基本不可能,因为: 1.卡片总数两位数(30+) 2.演戏前编排剧本时,需要摆5张卡片,包括 [人物+地点+目的+遭遇+结果]。 3.有一半以上的观众想要的元素不止一个,甚至有限定4、5个的。 因此不大可能靠试错通关:( [/list] 什么都好,走路速度太慢了,没有加速功能orz
Long story short, The Rainsdowne Players is delightful, full of charm, and unique. If you're the type of person who enjoys games which focses on its great, lighthearted writing, but still have well-developed game mechanics that compliment the story, then you should strongly consider this game. You control two actors, a boy and a girl (both which you name) as they put on plays to entertain the people of the town. You'll go through the town as both characters to gather ideas for plays, such as possible settings, characters, or objects you can use. Then, you put these ideas together to compose a story. Each story has five parts: a main subject, a location, a goal for the subject, a twist, and an outcome. You can try figuring out good combinations of stories, but you are also encouraged to talk to people to gather hints on what they want to see in a play. With that said, you are also heckled during your plays; audience members will throw a variety of items at you during your play, and you have to dodge them in order to finish the play. Dodging is simple (press left for the character on the left to dodge, andpress right for the character on the right to dodge), but it gets harder to dodge everything the more plays you consecutively finish. Between the challenge of dodging everything the audience throws at you and getting to see the characters put on these plays, these performances are very enjoyable to play through. The game's writing is very well done. The characters are enjoyable to read and watch and the game has some funny moments. Further, the game has a great ability to provide you new twists to keep the game fresh and interesting. There are two alternatives to puttingo n plays (dramatic sword fighting and karaoke) which provide different gameplay challenges, and there are other gameplay twists and surprises to keep you on your toes. Overall, it's a very entertaining, fun adventure. My biggest frustrationg with the game is that it can be hard to figure out exactly what plays some town members want to see. While there is an in-game hint system, it is purposefully limited; oftentimes it will not tell you what you need to know in order to please town members. With that said though, the main story is straight-forward enough; the only times I felt like I didn't know what to do next, the solution was for me to just pass through another in-game day before something happened. Overall, I recommend this game. It's one-of-a-kind, well-designed and, of course, does not cost much as well. I really enjoy it when I find hidden gems, which means that I loved finding this game.
WOW! I honestly didn't expect too much when I played it for the first 15 minutes. Small map. Uninteresting npcs. Repetitive. Then the story starts to unfold and more places are unlocked and if you don't like to play on the stage, you can still have other options to proceed with it which is a good idea. This game is very well balanced with regards to the pace of the story and the length of each round. It is definitely worth the price of under $5! I am only about 25-35% done with the game at 3.8hrs :)
Yıkık bir tiyatro salonunun asi müşterilerini memnun etmesini konu alan, yaratıcılık odaklı bir RPG. Rainsdowne Oyuncularının şehirdeki önde gelen (ve tek!) tiyatro grubu olmasına yardım edin!
Emailed a key out of the blue from the dev, expected a meme pixel game but what i got was: >Cute characters crafted with love >unique days and nights >Plenty to do >FISHING >minigames >currency system is good >2 main characters !!!!!!! >COSTUMES! >Gotta play more more more!
玩得差不多了滚过来写评测 阅读难度不大,四六级水平够了,不过多少会有一些生词。最痛苦的是游戏那个字体!太不友好了,看得我脑壳痛,一开始真的看到大段对话就想跳过。 如果玩RPG的时候喜欢和NPC对话,刷遍所有支线,收彩蛋,那可以试试这个游戏,毕竟18块钱买不了吃亏买不了上当是吧(打折9块 游戏就是黄毛和蓝毛一起开剧院,通过和雨镇居民对话收集剧本要素,然后用那些要素量身打造剧本打动镇民的心从而获得新要素。 还有个主线剧情……然而我自己还没走完( 不过玩到后期不可避免的会觉得无聊,因为对话基本上收集完了,迷你游戏基本上打通了,但是要素还有好多没开出来而且毫无头绪(哭唧唧
In the rainy town of Rainsdowne, a theatre troupe puts on shows for the unappreciative audience that throw a bunch of bottles as you try to perform, but dodge them and you'll be stars of ACTING!!!!!!! https://youtu.be/qJms9dCJB4I
A charming and fantastic RPG that manages to be full of expression despite on the surface being quite simple. From its pixel art and writing that depicts a vibrant and unique fantasy setting, to its series of minigames that cover everything from crafting and performing a play to card battles to fishing. Rainsdowne Players isn't without its rough edges but it's the kind of strange and wonderful little game that we absolutely need to see more of in this world.
