Wanda - A Beautiful Apocalypse

A very bold game, in the sense that it thought that 5-6 lines of dialogue at a time without a spoken or written human language is acceptable.

A beautiful and touching little interactive story told with many long cut scenes, that are separated by a variety of puzzle sequences and some brief exploration. 'Wanda a beautiful apocalypse', both recreates the events leading up to an apocalypse and tells the story of two survivors. The story sequences are not interactive, long and unskippable which may not be for everyone. The puzzles include Sokoban style puzzles, Portal style puzzles, co-op logic puzzles and timed typing sequences. There are collectables to be found during the short exploration sequences. I really enjoyed the story and most of the puzzles, but I really disliked the timed puzzles - I find them quite frustrating and not in line with the nature of the rest of the game.

Creía que solo era un juego de resolver puzzles en un entorno postapocalíptico, pero realmente tiene una historia muy conmovedora. El juego me ha encantado, es sencillo y divertido, y también te da la opción de saltarte los puzzles (no recomendable) por si acaso se te llega a complicar alguno. Dudo que lo vayas a necesitar. ¡Definitivamente uno de mis juegos favoritos!

I want to give the devs credit even though this is a negative response, execution comes with experience but it is also intention, and this could be exactly what you intended so good job. For people who like these kind of games I think they would really enjoy it. For me personally, even though it has a good (but sad) story line, and I like the graphics, there isn't enough interaction to keep my attention. There are some brain challenging puzzles, but I think I spent more time reading a book whilst the cut scenes played out :( When I finally finished I had a 7 hr play time... because quiet a few times I got up and wandered off, got carried away reading my book, or played another game hoping the cut scenes would play out (unfortunately they only do that when the window is active). If you want all the achievements you have to play until the very very end.

I can't bring myself to give this game a negative rating. Despite its flaws, it's just too beautiful. So clearly a labour of love. The art and music is stunning. The story evokes so many thoughts and feelings without ever saying a word. Not to mention, the puzzles are incredibly well thought out with a lot of unique twists for each puzzle - also, if you get stuck on a puzzle, you get the option to skip it. The problems: - As many have mentioned, the game takes a lot of control away from the player. And it's not just that - it takes the control away from the player for a long time at a time; the cutscenes are a little long-winded. There were many times where I had already gotten the point they were trying to make, but then the cutscene would still go on and on. - I don't know if this is a problem really, it's more of a frustration. Sometimes for some of the puzzles, each move has to be pinpoint-perfect, or else you have no choice but to reset the puzzle. BUT, if you reset it a few times, there's an option to skip the puzzle completely which is awesome. - Sometimes in cutscenes, the dialogue (which we can't read) just runs on a timer and proceeds on its own, and sometimes the player has to click to continue. I think this is inconsistent, and since we can't read what they say anyway, it's pointless to have a system where the player has to progress the dialogue. - There's a bug in the puzzle where [spoiler]blue shrinks. If you reset the puzzle while still holding the orb you have to give to red, the movement speed doesn't reset to normal, it stays slowed as if blue is still carrying the orb[/spoiler]. Ultimately, I would recommend this game. It's cute, it's cheap, and it's short :)

Wanda tries to tell a heartfelt story. Unfortunately, the execution is awful. There are no settings, not even basic sound options or a way to quit the game, which runs on some low default resolution. Gameplay is constantly interrupted by pointless unskippable cutscenes. Every action is excruciatingly slow, yet despite this handicap, the authors decided to throw in some moving traps to aggravate the player even more. This story should have been told through exploration and interaction with the environment, not with cutscenes no one can understand anyway.

두 로봇을 조종하여 각종 퍼즐을 푸는 게임. RPG 만들기 툴(일명 쯔꾸르)을 이용하여 만든 것으로 보입니다. 캐릭터들이 특수문자로 대화하기 때문에 언어의 장벽은 없습니다. 게임을 나름 디테일을 살려서 나쁘지 않게 만들었습니다. 푸는 퍼즐들도 마냥 쉽지는 않게 만들었습니다. 하지만 단점들이 좀 많습니다. 1. 게임 내에 컷신이 굉장히 많은데 제가 플레이하는 시간보다 컷신 보는 시간이 길었던 것 같습니다. 2. 캐릭터의 이동속도가 굉장히 느려서 답답한 감이 좀 있습니다. 3. 퍼즐을 푸는데는 어떤 액션들을 취해야 하고, 이 액션을 취하기 위해서는 체력이 소모되는데 퍼즐을 잘못 풀 경우 퍼즐을 처음부터 다시 시작해야지만 이 체력이 찹니다. 문제는 체력이 퍼즐을 딱 풀 수 있는 정도로 주어진다는 것인데요, 처음부터 끝까지 완전히 올바른 순서로 퍼즐을 풀어야만 퍼즐을 풀 수 있게 만들었다는 것입니다. (실수 한 번 하면 처음부터) 여기서 2, 3번의 시너지로 인해서 퍼즐 재시작 -> 이동 느림 -> 퍼즐 재시작 -> 이동 느림의 심리적 답답함이 극대화되네요. 저 같은 경우는 그래도 참고 하다가, 주어진 키들을 제한 시간 안에 눌러야만 하는 퍼즐 구간에서 'sf'라는 생전 처음 보는 키를 누르라는 것을 보고 그냥 끄고 삭제했습니다. 비추천 게임입니다.

A short, simple and somber story. Robots have feelings too.
