unWorded

Interesting concept and beautiful in its own way, but presentation is lackluster at best and I couldn't care less about the main drama and stories in the chapters. They are serious and talk about destructive human tendencies, but the only thing I did want past second chapter is to click through them as fast as possible. So, I... don't really know. I guess I'll flip a coin and recommend it in case it's heads. DuckDuckGo.com says: tails Flipped an actual coin: tails Rolled a die: ⚄ (5) Well, not recommended it is then, but according to a die it isn't bad. Pick it during a sale with the entire Puzzle bundle and you likely won't regret it. Or at least may like other games in a bundle. I did like Type:Rider when I played it a few years ago.

Quite the intriguing little gem it is. Surprisingly short, yet unexpectedly deep. In this game, you navigate a fragmented narrative by piecing together letters to form images that reveal the story of an Author’s life. As you explore the 5 books crafted by the author, you find yourself in some quiet but captivating journey of creativity, loss and imagination. I wish there were more books, more puzzles to solve and a larger story to process. It is one of those hidden gems of a game that you find on Steam, which had been made with love. A friend gifted me this game and told me: “Go and play with letters to create some world of imagination!” He was right and I concur. It’s great that he shared something impactful with me. I would recommend giving this game a try.

Not recommended for COVID-times due to the subject matter of [spoiler] the five stages of grief and losing a lived one. [/spoiler] I thought a puzzle game would lift my spirits up during these times. The story and music's [i] very [/i] French. This plays like eating an actual bento made by a depressed French artist. If this was made by a Japanese developer the last puzzle would [spoiler] actually "work" like I expected it [/spoiler].

I have finished this one today. A good atmosphere in the game and a unique concept, but it's very irritating that you have to move/connect the symbols too punctual to each other. One of the last puzzles to to with bulb is too difficult in my opinion to do without a hint on a walkthrough. So that's the main reason I don't recommand this one... The stories are also a little bit difficult to understand very good, however I can read English pretty well. The stories are too vague to give you some satisfaction in this game...

Vine para una experiencia relajad de solución de puzzles con letras y termine con frustración y confusión de que algunas figuras puestas bien, no suelen registrarse como completadas solo por una milésima de movimiento.

unWorded tiene UNA idea divertida: crear dibujos usando letras. Nada más. El problema es que la mitad de los dibujos no tienen mucho sentido o, sencillamente, no se identifican bien. Y claro, dibujar usando letras puede ser divertido, pero estar un par de minutos moviendo letras por la pantalla a ver si encajan entre sí y das con la tecla, no. Si al completar un puzle te quedases mirando el juego y pensando "ah joder, claro, qué bueno, qué ingenioso", pues bueno. Pero no. Normalmente, la reacción tras completar cada nivel es más bien de "vamos no me jodas".

Jogo simples que desafia a nossa criatividade. Às vezes precisando de MUITA criatividade pra conseguir visualizar o que eles pedem no nível. Um bom jogo pra passar o tempo.

So, gave this narrative puzzle game called "unWorded" a try. Must say that it was an interesting experience. It felt unique but a bit frustrating since you really have to try quite a bit to figure out the correct placement of letters to form the shape you need. Satisfying to do, sure, tho I also have a bit of a bitter taste haha. I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone tbh. If you have the patience for a puzzle that won't guide you by the hand, then by all means give it a go. The story itself was decent but a nice extra to it all.

O jogo é, simples, bonito e não tão difícil, mas em algumas partes ele vai te prender bastante. Não vejo defeitos no jogo, a não ser o fato de que ele não está em Português. O motivo disso é óbvio, o jogo é pequeno e de pouco investimento, então definitivamente dá pra passar pano. Enfim, sobre o jogo em si... joguem! Cara, cada história é reflexiva e profunda por mais simples que pareça... fora a trilha sonora desse jogo mesclada com a complexidade sentimental que representa jogar isso... A junção dos dois, é simplesmente: Arte!

This is a very interesting and unusual concept SPOILER ALERT and deeply emotional. Would I play it again? Probably not unless there is a sequel. Thought provoking.
