I need to bang The Salesman. he's hot. absolutely great game.
The achievements haven't popped for a single person that's played this game. Otherwise, it's okay. I'll change it to "recommended" for at least the funny parts if they make achievements achievable.
Good game, only complaint is that there isn't enough ads for chroma corp.
I am not sure if you have played same game btw...
yes
Its not great Like it has a cool premise but the game play is very minor and repetitive, and I don't think that the humor or dialogue really make up for that. There are multiple times in the game where you are just doing nothing waiting for something to happen, and the climax is very short and not really worth the time put in. Also the build up is very slow and there is like no actual scary moments in the game ;-;
I also got the bug where despite beating the entire game, I got no achievements. While that is a severe flaw that needs to be fixed ASAP, I had a great time playing the game in spite of that. It took me only an hour to beat and I typically take my time with games. $5 is still a little too much for that short of time considering the major flaw. My advice: either wait until the game has a good sale or they fix the bug, then buy it.
this game is like bendy and the ink machine the concept is cool but the gameplay is lackluster theyre both just walking simulators and the salesman is even worse cause the entire time youre just doing the samethings over and over with new steps added occasionally jonny i love you but you gotta do better and this game is really short like i got both endings in 50 minutes like if i wanted to i couldve refunded it
One thing... probably give the microwave some sort of noise when it finishes i know a lot of people dont like to sit still in games so giving the microwave some sort of noise when finished would definitely help otherwise great game so far will be coming back to it
I really wish I were able to play this, but there are no settings about video or aspect ratio at all, and so with a Ultra-Wide monitor like my own, The game has UI stretching and text cut off at the bottom, making the game unplayable. I have Emailed Bad Ideas on Friday and await a response.
