Femida

This is a great concept - just not sure how well its executed. The writing is rough and the reading becomes tedious (the font style is a bit hard on the eyes). Would love to see it revamped maybe with some voice acting to add more to it.

This game looks and sounds like a free to play web game (very 2000s newgroundsy to me.) But, it's on steam and costs money for some reason. The writing and dialogue is pretty awful. Lots of typos just literally everywhere, and trying to ignore that. The content of the writing itself just isn't very good. As the writing is pretty key to this game, this makes it a pretty bad game. If you ignore the bad writing (for a story focused dialogue game,) the game mechanics are also pretty bad and tedious. It feels a bit like they stole some of the game mechanics from other similar games without being aware of what made those games good or fun. Maybe that's why I get the vibe of web game that someone stuck a price tag on. Though the audio very much clinches this for me as it's that annoyingly repetitive type most of these games have (probably free.) I tried giving this game a second chance, then I realized the main mechanic for the court scene was just remembering which dialogue trees make the court angry and avoiding those. There was a few other mechanics but they seemed about as lazy as that. To say something nice, I was fine with the art style, though it did seem a bit like wikihow art. I…

Femida is a "Papers Please" style text reading decision game. You're a judge in an alternative post WW2 type society and you're presented with various cases as part of an overarching story and you must read documentation carefully to make decisions that influence the overall story... like a badly framed Choose Your Own Adventure, but formatted like a 1998 browser/Flash game. Yeah, a poor idea implemented poorly... this has no real value for gamers as a serious PC game. This game has been translated from some other language into English... badly. If this was done through Google Translate, Google Translate should feel ashamed of itself. Regardless, the language in this game is broken and will put off a lot of gamers. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The controls can't be customis…

Fun if you enjoy reading a lot, but the game is buggy, and the UI feels like an old point-and-click game. The story is great. Make sure to save often and use multiple slots.

Honestly, this is the kind of game that looks really cool, then you get into it and it's kind of crap, but then you keep playing it anyway because it's short and still interesting. It's just an obscure little weird Russian game that feels like it was made on a shoestring budget and didn't spend enough time in the oven, but it's got a lot of heart to it and if you can overlook the fact the writing is sloppy and typos and grammar mistakes abound, it's worth a look. Even when cookies don't bake long enough, the dough is still tasty.

quirky little title with multiple endings and seriously difficult choices to make....buggy though
