A Trip to Yugoslavia: Director's Cut

Feels like finding a strange old VHS tape and somehow becoming part of it. Weird acting, rough presentation, but a genuinely unique idea that makes the whole experience strangely memorable.

this games controls are so clanky bruh, 0/10 would not recommend

2/10 Based on the age of all the actors and the overall quality of the game, I'm assuming this was some sort of student project, or at the very least was made by high school students. That adds a layer of charm to it, though the game overall is very poorly constructed. Things are poorly conveyed, the quick-time events are horribly implemented and, while I understand it is inherently hard to make an FMV game, this feels like a poor execution of it. Still, very charming, and shows some potential for better projects in the future. It is my understanding that this game is about a decade old, so I'd be curious to play some of their newer stuff.

I just want to start the review off by saying. Yes I do understand this was a game designed to be a fun game the creator could make with his friends. Yes I understand the game is supposed to have absurdly funny choices to make sometimes. This game was not fun to play at all for me. The language setting at the very start of the game did nothing and the menus were still in a language I couldn't even understand even after a full restart. The QTE's are the worst I've ever seen for a FMV, The choices themselves which I will give credit did feel like they had an impact were just so confusing especially the way it was all laid out. Also while I love the idea of the game being a VHS you can pause, skip forward, and replay I feel like the design was perfect but the way it feels to use is awful. I will give this game even more credit though. Congrats on getting through the Steam Greenlight because I know that must have been really really hard.
