Full disclosure: I did some testing on this game for several hours, but I purchased the full copy for myself. Videonauts is a love letter to old RPG horror maker and narrative horror games. It features adorable character art and an entertaining cute yet creepy story with multiple endings to strive for. Recommended for fans of games like Ib, Off, Yume Nikki and other offbeat rpg games!
I am a big resnijars fan, however, this one isn't worth it sadly. There's few moments where resnijars' music shines a lot and It is the main appeal of their games, they are really good at making their OST. However, gameplay here is kinda lacking... The story is meh, the gameplay being just puzzles is meh... And I was almost about done with the game while I checked I was 2 hours in. It felt weird to playthrough this considering the masterpieces they released before, this one just doesn't do it man. Also having those stats in the menu kept bothering me as the game wasn't telling me about them at all, maybe when the game is over it opens up into something amazing?... But I just prefer to replay Mythic Mire, Mibibli's Quest or Stardust Demon. The visuals here weren't as spectacular as those either, it felt awkward to play. I'm sorry, I loved every single other game they made though
Fun puzzle/horror rpgmaker-like adventure game! It's a got a nice, unique furry b-horror movie vibe, puzzles so far strike a good balance between difficulty and solvability (like you feel clever when you solve it but it's not frustrating to figure out) Music is good, visual style is bold (cool use of a limited color scheme, everything is that reddish/orange-y pink and candy blue), all around a good game if you're into games like Yume Nikki or Ib.
Great game! The characters were really fun, the puzzles were surprisingly challenging, and I'm really in love with the visuals and sound. There's a few spelling errors here and there, and it would have been cool to see unique death animations for different ways of actually dying, but other than that it's a pretty good experience overall.
Nice little game so far, though I am halfway through and getting stuck. I had trouble with where to put the pieces for example
Edit: This end puzzle makes no sense how am I going to solve a puzzle that I have no clue on what to do. It's like getting a white puzzle sure you can solve it with enough time but it's not fun or rewarding. I had fun through out the game but now the random blocks, little wires that take away your time and take away any fun moment you had with the game and makes you want to rip your hair out. Or maybe I'm stupid or something idk
I got a little glimpse of the game while it was in development, but didn't get to play much of it then. So, now is the first time I'm really playing through. So far I enjoy the story and characters: there's a good mix of personalities and they feel believable~ I like Keemo and Bogweed (cause he reminds me of a 90's anime character). And the main character Coby is cute and I like how he reacts and speaks as the story unfolds. The decor is also really nice, and I like the variety of patterns throughout the game so far. And as for the puzzles, they are fun so far and not too challenging. I'll see how things get later in the game... I can't quite tell where the story is going so it's fun to reach each cut scene whether it's all the characters interacting, or a video playing on the screen. I'm looking forward to see how it all wraps up!
WHY IS THIS GAME NOT POPULAR? I litterly cant find any let's plays outside of the demo. That needs to change, cause this game is AWESOME! I got attached to the characters really quick and the lore is pretty cool. Sucks that there's no walkthroughs on how to get the other endings though. 10/10 game! Hope more people discover this gem!
Cute little spooky adventure. Reminded me a little of Sweet Home on the NES or classic RPG maker horror. There are a couple fairly difficult puzzles that are fun to figure out. Minor spoiler: [spoiler] Wish there were a couple more areas like the last one with more randomized elements. The game definitely earned a few playthroughs from me to get all endings, but I wish there were a few more differences per run, maybe at least different solutions for puzzles. [/spoiler]
Fun characters and a wonderfully eerie mood got me hooked to see where this all goes. Already had a favorite character meet a sad end so curious to see how I could change their fate!
