This is a beautiful game, full of promising ideas, so it sucks that Vindit seems to have given up on it. A check on Quote's website indicates that the game was supposed to leave Early Access in 2018, having been released with its first three chapters and the Infinite Library (fighting arena) mode available. As of now, nine months later (the time it takes for a living, breathing infant to be formed from nothing but an egg and some dude-juice), I've seen no additional content added, and moreover, the prologue won't even properly load, so I have no real idea how this STORY-DRIVEN game begins. And I don't think I'll ever know how it ends. Maybe it is partially our fault as consumers, for not pouring money into this admittedly ambitious project early on, but Early Access is meant to be a place where serviceable products are made better, not a place where the majority of a game's story is held hostage until a critical mass of cashflow is reached. So I'll buy this thing again (I got a refund) when there's some real development made, but I'm entirely willing to accept that progress is unlikely.

A very cute, good narrative driven game, with an interesting art style (even in the UI). Top down. The voice-over and dialogue is impressive from audio and quality point of view. It's written well and with a fairy tale feel it seems charming and delicate, almost sensitive. The story is engaging and deep, with an emotional touch. Gameplay is unique and introduces some peculiar elements of 'teleportation' over short distances. Rpg-esque skill progression available. Performance is just about okay for an EA game with a few bugs here and there. Nothing game breaking. Insofar the game looks a bit unpolished, something seems amiss, the movements are not completely smooth and sometimes the UI seems clunky, just a bit of polishing is required and hopefully over the next few months everything will improve, the story will be added to and all the useful feedback by the customers will be heeded. A good attempt, I truly hope the developers execute this lovely concept properly. They have a solid base and can make a very good product of this.

There is a serious lack of reviews on this game, and I'm hoping to fix a bit of that. So, to give a tl;dr version: I do recommend this game, but it is ok to wait a bit. The game has an interesting sense of storytelling. Also, the art itself in the game is wonderfully weird. Reminds me a lot of the movie Mirrormask. The gameplay itself is good, with some interesting puzzle-elements, and some simple, but fun, combat. I know my hours isn't a lot, but I'll update the review down the line.

A truly unique storyline with extraordinary detail in the drawings. With charm and wit the different characters come to life throughout the game. Loving playing Quote so far. Highly recommended!

I love the way this game looks. It's sort of sickeningly nightmarish.

Why did I buy this?
