Winion Virus

за свою цену, игра просто отличная

I really enjoyed the game and it resonated with me a lot. My standouts for the game were the format in which the story was presented and the great character work on which most of the game is based on. As far as the first point goes, I think the format impressed me from the get-go with the levels of interactivity it provides to the player. Being able to move windows around, to interact with elements which are not technically part of the more linear part of the experience and really "live" inside the program made me really *feel* the Winion life, and not only watch it. In particular, I was surprised by how interesting the concept of integrating the progress behind the save button made me want to play the game more, as every time I saved the game would progress automatically, pushing me to enjoy the story further. I also advise reading all the optional dialogue, it really adds a lot to the experience. I found myself searching for the characters around to hear their perspective on the story during the entirety of the game. This also connects to the second point. The characters feel very alive, their evolution is great throughout the game and it's incredibly well-written and cohesive throughout the adventure. They interact a lot between eachother, they show different sides of their (initially) simple concepts, and I think it's really difficult for the player to remain indifferent to them. One flaw I read a lot about in reviews here is that the game is slow, but I do not agree with this. I am of the idea that the people who thought this have misunderstood the type of game Winion Virus is. It's not and I don't think it tries to be a horror game from the get-go, but it's more of a classical slice-of-life visual novel that eventually builds up into a horror. I think this misunderstanding has to do with the initial trigger warning. If the game was presented without it, the player would probably have less expectations going in. However, I don't think the trigger warning should be removed, as I understand its practical purpose. Still, I'd advise the reader, if they haven't played the game yet, to enter not expecting instant horror, but rather a pretty well-written Visual Novel. On the topic of well-written though, I'll have to agree that the translation can be quite wacky at times. Many things just sound wrong most of the time. Somehow though, it stopped annoying me very quickly and my brain just started interpreting it as the peculiar lingo of the Winions. Still, I think the game would definitely provide a more cohesive experience with a better translation. Also, the concepts are sometimes repeated too many times. I think if the developer just rereads the game in a while they'll notice themselves when they ended up repeating themselves. I'd have wished a bit more interactivity though. At no point in the game does the player have any real choice. I'd like a few more easter eggs for people who like to explore to be added to the game, especially if a DLC is to be released. My final critique is a bit of a flatness in the mystery, that I felt could've been a bit more satisfying. Personally, I enjoyed the personal struggles of the characters more and I wish there would be a bit more focus on that. Nonetheless, it's a great game and I'd recommended it to everybody who enjoys a good Visual Novel with a peculiar format.

굿

Необычная атмосфера и персонажи

중간중간 고어한 컷씬/연출이 좀 과해 보이는 느낌이 없잖아 있긴 한데 난이도는 세이브가 친절해서 순수 게임 피지컬 안좋아도 할만함 3D 파트가 리미널 스페이스 느낌나고 재미있었음

[h1]ウィニオン育成どころか、どんどん身も心も傷付く彼らを見守るしかできないド鬱ゲーム[/h1] パット見の印象は、かわいい感じのドット絵キャラグラのデジタルペット育成ゲーム。 元気で目を輝かせるアイオン、食いしん坊なでマイペースなボー、知的で生真面目...?なグリッド、明るく元気なガキ大将デバッグ、弱気で仄暗い影を落とすデバッグ。 違った性格、見た目、得意なことを持った5体のウィニオン達が魅せるキャラクター性は、とても愛らしく、すぐに皆の顔と名前を覚え、愛着が湧き上がること間違いなし。 ゲームとしては1日の枠組みの中で、パソコンのデスクトップ上で暮らすことになった[strike]なんか小さくてかわいいやつら[/strike][b]ウィニオン[/b]達と、プレイヤーやウィニオン同士の交流、彼らから送られてくるメッセージを楽しんでほのぼのする優しいゲーム、そのはずだった...

ストーリーやゲーム性良し。 まあ見ての通り可愛いの皮をかぶったホラーゲームなので、サムネだけ見て買おうなどとは思わないことです。 もう闘牛（？）ごっこは勘弁してくれ…
