Project Real

I ended up refunding the game as this was a bit of a struggle to set up, the UI was a puzzle.

I ended up giving up before I finished the tutorial. Maybe it's because I played on a steam deck but I couldn't get past that fishing tutorial. It was ridiculous and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Bad controls, bad English, boring character creator. Only saving grace was the cheap price

Ooof, yikes. This one was rough. I couldn't even get into it after getting it set up. Movement feels chunky, keyboard-only, no key mapping so you can't rebind anything, the UI is NOT intuitive at all. It's absolutely a shame. The game has a very cute design and the concept is a fun and great idea. It is so unfortunate that Early Access has been over a year, and the game has been out for almost a year now, and yet it is practically unplayable. I couldn't even type in a name for my character. The game makes you select letter-by-letter using the arrow keys or WASD-I ended up going with AAAAAA because it was the easiest to input. That's kinda crazy?! You can use the mouse to select your language, but after that, it is irrelevant and the game does not recognize any mouse clicking. It took me half a minute on the game start screen to realize that you have to navigate by arrow keys and enter button. You also have to select the language every time the game starts. Everything is forced and there is NO SKIPPING. I went through the fishing tutorial and restarted the game, there is no option to skip any tutorials or cut scenes. It forces you to sit and go through it. Very frustrating and f…

1. Game has the worst character building I ever saw. Its slow on pourpose, making me choose one thing at a time. 2. Stop forcing me to watch bad opening scene. It contains literally nothing of value. Its 2025, I want to skip it and actually see the game. 3. I bought this game on PC. Stop forcing me to arrow-search the letters to form my name. I should be able to type it, like a PC user. As you can see, I could barely pass the character building and I was already frustrated. After choosing how my character should look, one thing at a time, I was forced to see the same intro video, now backwards, again. Then comes the first dialogue and for some odd reason, it appears twice. One in English, and again, in Portuguese. Didn't bother to go much further after that.

I cannot recommend this game. Movement feels clunky. Controls are poor. Bad translation. Very slow start and no skip on cut scenes Avoid and save your hard earned money!

For now, it is pretty broken, can't skip parts of dialogue. As for why you'd wanna skip some dialogue, selecting language (English), and entering the game, the game will have the dialogue in Portuguese (I think it's Portuguese?) and then REPEAT the same stuff in English. I just couldn't sit through that for longer than I have. (around 20 minutes)
