Games that aren't completed after 9 years of waiting
I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

Уникальный случай, когда в проекте маленькой студии хорошо сделано всё, что стоит денег, а плохо то, что требует таланта. Из 3 обещанных эпизодов вышло только 2, третий обещают в этом году, но, судя по форуму игры, в это, после постоянных переносов, верят уже только оптимисты. Мне очень жалко ставить палец вниз такой красивой игре. Классический квест в киберпанк стилистике, в мире с антропоморфными животными, красиво сделанный, с отличной музыкой (ну почти всей музыкой) — звучит сочно, если бы не одно но. Основная проблема проекта, а по совместительству и одна из главных рекламных мощностей — протагонист. И дело вовсе не в трансгендерности персонажа, таким в мире киберпанка было сложно удивить ещё во времена первой The Longest Journey. Всё банально. Проблема в том, что Фин — пустышка в костюме Джейн Лейн из Дарьи. Оно скучное, занудное и обожает пространные рассуждения ни о чём, подобное обременение не слишком поощряет исследование мира, как того требует жанр игры. Все попытки что-то повнимательней рассмотреть жестоко караются сценаристом игры, который начинает лить ушат поверхностного самовлюблённого бреда глядя даже на, казалось бы, абсолютно к тому не располагающие объекты. Даже самая странная и раздражающая музыка звучит именно с пластинки в доме главного героя. При этом большинство персонажей, которых Фин встречает, подобных чувств не вызывают, что явственно говорит о том, что писать нормально в команде умеют, но почему-то не хотят. Логичность некоторых загадок вызывает у меня вопросы, но здесь уже только домыслы, ибо проходил игру строго по прохождению, так как терпение меня довольно быстро покинуло, а мир исследовать хотелось. Могу сказать, что второй эпизод получился лучше первого. Ощущение некоей мистики и воли случая добавило игре очков (неизвестно как сказавшись на логичности загадок). Брать не советую, можно посмотреть на ютубе, если попалась в рамках бандла, то советую сохранить себе саундтреки.
I first discover Void and Meddler in a random playthrough a few years back, being fascinated by the cybernetic world with some anthropomorphic animals, and an amazing soundtrack and art style, I mean look at that puddle. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2854065682 Sadly the plot and dialogues don't help hold this game together, as it's trying to be poetically edgy, but I see it as a distraction than another else as the plot is just used helping to Fyn recover lost memory of the time she used to be in a band, I think (I don't remember everything about this game and I somehow lost all the notes I made about it, apologies about that). It doesn't help that the dialogue is what it is that I've gotten myself lost game aimlessly in this game a couple of times as there isn't a clear objective, so I ended up using walkthroughs to solve multiple puzzles, which isn’t fun. I could see why many people didn't complete this game up to episode 3 (about less than 10% did from the achievement currently). Even after some of my negative comments, I don't want to see this game in vain, I mean I brought this game knowing the flaws but I couldn't ignore the artistic value, of the beautiful art and music production. So I advise anyone who wants to feel hipster, to maybe buy this game at a discount or even purchase the soundtrack separately here on Steam or on sites like Spotify, (seriously, the soundtracks are so good) if you like ominous, digital, high-beat sounds, you should look it up. I'm even planning on doing a separate mini-review on it, once I figure out how to describe then a bit better.

[/list] I love adventure games, and this has to be one of the worst ones I have played in a long time. It's absolutely awful in almost every way except for the graphics and sound. The "STORY," if I can even call this thing a story, was left unfinished, and the developers don't give a f*ck about finishing the last episode, which was sold in a season pass 5+ years ago. Avoid it at all costs.
cyberpunk temalı point click oyunu grafikleri yılına göre de olsa kötü eğlenceli bi içerik de bulamadım
It's aesthetically compelling which makes the shallow dialog and puzzles all the more disappointing. Overall I found it unremarkable. If you want a great cyberpunk adventure game, try [i]Technobabylon[/i] or [i]Neofeud[/i].
I think this game is woke garbage i dont like it also devs abandoned the game episode 3 is never releasing from what i see so abandomwaregame story is edgy and horrible
This is a great game, ♥♥♥ any arsehole who says its not/
