to a T

Overall game was a fun and chill experince, an afternoon or two of play. And then it turned into a fever dream and everyone peeking over my shoulder was demanding recaps as to wtf was happening in my game. 10/10 for confusing my friends.

This is a sweet lil game that my children and I all enjoyed. It plays like a serial cartoon, and my children liked the pacing and humor more than I did--because the humor and pacing are designed for children, not adults! Still, I got sucked into the cute little world too, and have really enjoyed my time with it.

To a T was July's pick for the Slow Games Club. As a big Keita fan, I was excited for his latest brand of quirkiness ... but this one didn't hit the same. The game is structured like a Saturday morning cartoon (complete with opening/ending songs). The art direction is gorgeous, the character designs are charming, and there's real heart in how the game ties disability to gameplay mechanics, showing how being different has both costs and value. But the city is a pain to navigate, the pacing of the story drags in places, and a lot of the dialogue fell flat. The game while imperfect, it is still worth a try especially if you get it for a young child, honestly, this feels like a great first video game to hand a kid who's used to TV shows ... even if it wasn't quite for me. Excited for whatever Uvula's team does next!

i want to stress first and foremost that this essentially is a children's game, in the sense that it's a simple game with a simple story structured like a children's animated TV show. it even has episodes, and each episode has the same opening and ending music. this is a very intentional point of inspiration for the game, because it spends so much time on these repetitive elements of the formula of a TV show, right down to the way the "chorus" pops in at the start and the midpoint of every episode. all of this is say that to rate this game against the history of a series like katamari damacy is missing the point this is a child-friendly story about living with disabilities and major differences from the rest of the world. it's about how a family copes with these disabilities and about how others learn to love and accept the person who has them. it makes sense that the opening track is called "Perfect Shape" (and is so dang catchy too). the game is dripping with charm, and had me smiling and laughing throughout the entire experience. and when i say child-friendly, i mean in a bluey sort of way--the game is designed for a very young audience to grasp, if not for the fact that there's so much reading, but that's where a parent can come in. i think the game was designed for parents and kids to play together, and i even sent this as a recommendation to my friend who's a father to play it with his kids. reading character voices out loud and playing the game together can, i imagine, have the effect of reading a bedtime story and also watching a kids' TV show all at once. but, like me, you can also play this game as an adult by yourself, as long as you're open to the idea of watching something like bluey as an adult. it is wholesome in the truest sense of the word: unlike the cutesy escapist facade covering the sinister core of "wholesome games" that we think of today, but actually wholesome in the sense that playing this is healthy and truly good for you

捆绑包连带着喜加一购入,但游玩体验相当无聊,也许我对于这类轻玩法游戏的耐受度下降了?但不久前才玩完了史丹利的寓言这部玩法上相当纯粹的走路模拟器也十分喜欢,所以目前我还是暂时归因于游戏本身有问题,可能是前三章的充水剧情没能吸引到我?可能是美术风格相对平庸让我没心情多欣赏?可能是无聊小游戏塞入过多导致不堪重负?我不太明白,但我想我不会在短期内再游玩本作了,能不能对上电波...也许未来可能吧

This is a cute little narrative game with a deep message, hilarious catchy songs, and memorable characters. It's the bright positive vibe we need in today's world.
