The Witch's Yarn

The store page claims that The Witch's Yarn is the successful fusion of Visual Novels and Puzzle games yet the actual product somehow fails at being a compelling version of either. The puzzles are very poorly thought, you have to click a number of "cues" in the right order. However, the intended solution for most of them is to randomly click the various options until you get the right order as there is no rhyme or reason or even hints as to which order you are supposed to click them in making the progression feel slow and removing any sense of accomplishment from completing them. The Visual Novel aspect of it, the story mostly, is boring and bland and although I am perhaps not the best judge of Visual Novels, I feel fairly confident saying that you can easily find deeper and better written stories on a random fan fiction forum.

The Witch's Yarn is an unusual and confused 2D "adventure" game where you click on various screen elements to "construct" some kind of nonsensical story. The game appears with flash/HTML tier execution and doesn't deliver any cohesive or engaging storyline. I'm really not sure what the overall point is, just to click on things or something? If the story is good eventually? If so, why not write a novel and go through a publisher? This barely qualifies as a game, and there's no working fullscreen, either. There's over 12,000 proper video games on Steam now. How on earth can I recommend anybody buys this and plays it over any of those?

What crap is this? How did it get on my Account.

Does not fullscreen. Game scripting brute forces certain choices at the price of a hard game over screen if you choose differently than what is intended. Dialogue is a little bit nonsensical. The flow of the action, motivation of characters, or anything to keep it even mechanically interesting is missing. All you can do is preselect from a few icons which character you want to to see enter the store or interact next. I think the story tries to emulate some kind of soap opera formula. Maybe some kind of bewitched sort of spin off universe. But I could also be misreading. It is one of those games.

Joguei várias horas, mas não tive prazer, era um tanto chato, embora o desenho parecesse bom. Aposto 2, infelizmente ruim

Pretty boring crap.

Hard pass. Just... read the other negative reviews, they say everything. I don't hold every game to a high standard but I can't even hold this one to a modicum of mediocre.
