TOY BOX

Los minijuegos necesitan pulirse mas pero las historias de cada interrogatorio son interesantes y te empujan a querer saber mas

I will mention that I only got the very basic routine ending and haven't done the others. Highlights of this game are the art and atmosphere, which I quite liked, along with the story (both for each toy as well as for our protagonist's, as much as u get from the routine end). The idea of the story progression is quite unique and interesting (breaking the toys to find out more about them and deciding if to salvage or destroy), it plays very well on the judge, jury, exectioner moral dilema, the value of a life and nature of afterlife. I will say that the downsides are the simplicity of the 'minigames' to break the toys if you can call them that. They still serve their role as an unconfortable transition between the states of the toys (if very little), but they require so little interaction that they barely feel necessary. Another wonky aspect is the camera movement to look around the rooms, it feels at times very unresponsive and slow with the mouse. The routine ending was quite weirdly executed as well, I am left with the impression we could potentially run and hide (and in the inspection room we saw some potential places), but I just get a black screen after with sounds of running steps ? I can't tell if i was supposed to understand to somehow blindly click somewhere where i remembered seeing places for hiding (that assuming the chracter even left the office, which was not clear), if the ending bugged out or the running & hidding implication meant nothing and it was simply a slightly lackluster ending scene (will not spoil what happens after black screen). Either option implies some improvement on that part. Overall still a nice short free experience and maybe will come back to get the other endings for more lore.

Игра 'TOY BOX' – это очаровательный инди-платформер, который подкупает своей простотой и ностальгическим духом. Геймплей интуитивно понятен, но предлагает достаточную глубину для увлечения на несколько часов. Управление плавное, прыжки точные, что особенно важно при преодолении порой хитрых платформ. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в минималистичном, несколько мультяшном стиле, приятен глазу и создает атмосферу беззаботного веселья. Музыкальное сопровождение ненавязчивое и гармонично дополняет игровой процесс. Особенно хочется отметить дизайн уровней, каждый из которых представляет собой уникальную головоломку, требующую не только ловкости, но и немного сообразительности. Сбор коллекционных предметов добавляет стимул для повторного прохождения, а приятное чувство удовлетворения от каждого успешно пройденного уровня – это то, ради чего стоит играть в 'TOY BOX'. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, игра обладает определенным шармом и способна подарить несколько часов приятного времяпрепровождения. Возможно, ей не хватает большей глубины в повествовании или разнообразия игровых механик, но в целом, это качественно сделанный платформер, который приятно удивит поклонников жанра. Рекомендую к ознакомлению всем, кто ищет незатейливую, но увлекательную игру на несколько вечеров.

Great art style and an intriguing story! Only got the first ending so far but want to get the others, also.

i hate it. 8/10.

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.
