TOY BOX

I'm not into feet

Жена сказала, что если на этом обзоре наберётся 10 лайков и 5 наград, то она подарит ящик пива. Мужики, выручайте!

A fun, dark, short story game. All for the price of free! What's not to love? The sound design is stellar and the stories dark and moving. Settings also have a nice accessibility feature that cuts out minigames (thank god because I can't click fast enough on them).

A skin-crawling point&click visual novel comprised of individual character stories. Every aspect from the colour pallet, the extensive backgrounds, the central toys and their progressively worsening appearances and the shadow play-inspired memory sequences are beautifully done while keeping an unsettling atmosphere and incorporating a good amount of horror imagery. The two rooms you can look around in go further to each side than strictly necessary making the looking around sections a bit more interesting and add to the environmental storytelling. Also well done is the sound design, particularly during the taking apart of the toys. The background music is also quite nice to listen to. Each toy is unique and Tune-Me-Toe was definitely the most unpleasant of the toys to take apart, sound and appearance-wise as well as in terms of personality. While each toys backstory is overall clear, none of the stories handhold the player and some of the details you have to infer yourself through vague imagery and wording. At the end of the game there are still things left unanswered, which can be seen as adding to the horror factor. Personally I would have liked the endings to perhaps be a little longer. The mini-games are very simple and work well enough, though I feel like they could still be optimized a little more in terms of fluidity. Regardless the instructions to each of them being presented as schematics are a very nice touch! All of this put together makes for a solid game with some room for improvement.

情节和两个中短篇小林泰三《玩具修理者》、乙一《向阳之诗》有几分相似。体裁和Dollmare看上去基本相近。鼓励性评价，反馈及时。 玩具盒通关流程 https://www.acfun.cn/v/ac46663933 名字有关联的两个没有仔细梳理。谷仓的两个朋友达达、小暴风的事件和克拉门特的创造能力有何关系没太理解，摄影师算是独立片段也直白。（羊羔是真相和普通剧情分歧的关键，第三个结局是沉浸对话忘记时间触发四次，激怒了管理者。） 遗憾的是交互设计和引导比较差，尤其大脚的迷你游戏更是不知所以然，让人一头雾水。抓王冠和线头的手感不如海伦在我肚中 绦虫里的打地鼠。第三个结局毫无必要，拖时间为了结局而结局。

A fairly short point-and-click game with a great spooky atmosphere. Every inspection feels unique, with a good variety of disturbing elements from the characters themselves to the tragedies that befell them. The mini-games vary in type, with the first two being a sort of whack-a-mole while the others end up involving a memory sequence and dragging your cursor a specific way. The mini-games are very much not the focus compared to the real draw of delving into the stories behind each toy. Personally I found Lamb Head and Lil' Precious to be the most compelling when it came to the uncomfortable darkness of their story and how intertwined their fates were ([spoiler] even an entire ending because of them [/spoiler]). Everything involving Tune-Me-Toe threw me for a loop, and I [b] REALLY [/b] just want to talk to whoever designed that disco ball. I can't say I was the biggest fan of the Routine ending, as it felt quite jarring to go from my last inspection to that segment so quickly. It didn't help that, depending on your pace, you may have hardly seen the Grand Toy Maker. That's not even taking into account that for the Martyr ending, you need to [spoiler] have him interrupt you 3-5 times based on an invisible timer in the background (I managed to get it with 4 interruptions since he never showed up for me during Lamb Head's inspection) [/spoiler]. I'm not sure why, but even after multiple playthroughs and a fresh reinstall, I was never able to unlock all of Hogdollar's soundtrack. Complaints aside, I'm glad Edwin from RPS introduced me to this game!

L'ambiance de ce jeu est vraiment particulière. Les éléments d'horreur viennent à la fois des histoires des jouets, de la métaphore des "démontages" et d'objets morbides liés aux jouets. J'avais enregistré ce jeu il y a un moment, alors pour être honnête je ne me souvenais ni de sa nature, ni de sa description par lea créateurice. J'ai été agréablement surpris par la diversité des mini-jeux, et la quantité de dialogues pour en savoir plus sur chaque histoire. J'ai dû prendre quelques pauses dans le jeu et détourner les yeux à plusieurs moments que j'ai trouvé difficiles à regarder, donc je ne recommande pas le jeu si les avertissements de contenu vous touchent (ils sont précisés au début du jeu et peuvent être vérifiés pour chaque histoire dans le menu principal). Autrement, si les jeux d'horreur type point and clic vous intéressent, et que vous ne risquez pas votre santé mentale, je recommande ! Avoir plus de fins dépendantes de nos choix aurait pu être sympa, mais ça reste un petit jeu. Le jeu peut être assez court, en fonction du temps que vous passez sur chaque jouet et si vous souhaitez trouver tous les succès. Personnellement, il m'a pris environ 2h pour tous les succès et en refaisant le jeu (comme plusieurs VN, il y a une mécanique de skip pour faciliter la recherche de nouveaux dialogues).
