"The clouds appeared like soft, battling marshmallows in the bright Finnish sky. From her seat on the train rushing through the fields, Lottie favored the smaller clouds and wished they would win over the larger ones. As if the battle of David and Goliath could still be a possibility in today’s competitive world. She clasped her thick travelling journal against her chest with unbridled emotions, her thoughts wandering to the past. After a demanding university education, she had finally graduated and acquired a law degree. It hadn't been easy, and at times she had thought of dropping out. Her father often told her, "Nothing in life worth having comes easy". He always used a tone of authenticity, but she felt he probably got the quote from an Instagram post. As she stared out of the train window remembering those words, nostalgia ran through her body and gave her a faint shiver. In her mind, the faces of the people she loved appeared from the shadows. Her close family, her good friends... and others who still found a place in her thoughts...even after so many years...Heading to Helsinki by herself, Lottie felt a sense of gladness which went beyond words. Before she’d left home, she’d drawn her dark eyeliner perfectly and wore her favorite wool scarf. Today, tomorrow, the day after, and forever after, she needed to make the best impression she could possibly make. During her last semester, a recruiter from a big law firm had contacted her to offer an internship in Helsinki. As soon as she had hung up the phone, she had bought her train ticket."

[url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/32482033/]Crim's Humble Opinion Curator[/url] [h1]I'm A Victim Of Circumstance[/h1] Life in Helsinki is a short visual novel about a girl named Lottie who graduates from law school and moves away from her home for a job and encounters a lot of obstacles along the way. The story is short and has charming characters that feel realistic. There isn't really much information about Helsinki; instead we get information about what the kind of every day life in an area of that size is like. The music is upbeat where it needs to be and fitting. I don't think decisions weigh too much because it seems like one of those stories that will turn out the same way regardless of your decisions. It may be my reading speed but the game felt pretty short. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768165380 [h1]The Minor Gripes[/h1] I found the story to be interesting enough to hold me to playing it. I was really confused when I got sent back to the main menue after playing to the end of the first chapter. Chapter selection is nice if you want to replay a particular part of the story; but I feel it is more ideal to be able to save and load your pr…25 found this helpful
A mini-visual novel about a girl whose big dreams clash with reality. Cute art, nice writing, but really short (I completed it in a lunch break). Also, the story isn't really finished. IMHO the title is a bit misleading, I was expecting a LOT more information on Helsinki, but hey, that's what Trip Advisor is for, innit?2 found this helpful
This review is going to sound very negative, but I actually didn't mind this game. I can't pinpoint the playtime as I left it running, but I would say between 1-1.5hrs to read all 7 short chapters. I decided to get this even though I'd seen reviews saying it wasn't finished. Those reviews were right. This is more like a storyboard that's just started being fleshed out, but never got turned into a proper story. You have all the good events and the bad events, the problems and the solutions, but they just happen without any real bridging. Pros: - It made me laugh. Cons: - There were a few spelling/grammar mistakes, including mixing pronouns up. - I had the background music on for about 10 seconds before I was forced to turn it off to save my sanity. It's some sort of techno dance music that doesn't seem to fit or relate to the story at all. - It doesn't seem like there is a backlog option, and I also couldn't find a save button or a settings menu. - Clicking "return to menu" in the middle of the story will force you to start that chapter again. - The choices may not be worded correctly? Or the character just ignores them and does what she wants anyway. Eg. [spoiler] I took the ch…1 found this helpful
