✦ AI summary

Surrogate is praised for its striking art style and intriguing writing that explores an interesting protagonist and premise, with players generally feeling it offers good value for the price. However, the game suffers from notable issues including a repetitive music loop, confusing dialogue presentation that doesn't clearly indicate who is speaking, disjointed pacing, and occasional spelling errors that detract from the experience.

I wish i could look past the very bad music loop that constantly snaps me out of the story.

Well, that was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wild read. The pacing is kind of slow even for a shorter VN, the music is very repetitive, and the writing kinda hurts my brain but the art is so cool. It's also cheap as ♥♥♥♥ so ♥♥♥♥ it, why not give it a shot? You may vibe with it more than I did. Still think it was overall worth playing through.

In my eyes, it's a flawed game. I like the premise. I love the art style. I can somewhat relate with the story and its message. It is very genuine with its message. But it still feels like it comes up short. And I can't tell if some of the spelling mistakes are geniune or not. It's worth the price and I enjoyed it, though it took a couple of attempts to get into it.

what If I tell you that I finished all the endings for the game yet I still don't understand the plot of the story mb gng. yea the game caught my curiosity in the first glance and thanks to one of my homies for getting it for me. I could say I love the unique artstyle of the game. however, it's just a bit confusing for me to know who's talking cuz the game ONLY relies on the current picture shown to tell who's speaking. though on the good side, there are plenty of CG's for you to discover on each of the endings<3 they actually made each endings quite different from another but AGAIN yes, I still don't get what's really happening since I had a few troubles on differentiating who's currently speaking.

❤️❤️❤️❤️🖤 ✅ great art style ⚠️ disjointed ⛔ some minor typos here and there, and the fast-forwarding through read text seemed kinda buggy for me for some reason as it would sometimes skip unread text [b]vibes:[/b] anxiety riddled dress making fever dream [b]loop:[/b] its a visual novel, with about five different endings [b]thoughts:[/b] i like this a lot, i like the visual vibe of blue green and purple. i also quite liked the text, though it felt like it overall didn't quite know what i wanted to be, and seemed to kinda bounce around, which admittedly was sorta appropriate but i also found kind of a flaw. i wish some of the story and themes had had a bit more focus on them, and that it had ended up being more character focused than it was. that's just me wishing though. i still really liked what it was, i loved the aesthetic and feeling of it. [b]verdict:[/b] ❤️ / yes i recommend this / 🌃 out of 💽 / i just want to sew, i just want to make something beautiful https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3459746414

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
