Was It Worth It?

A gem, a short game based on the stanley parable

This game asks a fundamental question: Was It Worth It? I can tell you definitively that the answer is "No".

I bought this thinking it was a horror game, like the other horror games this developer has. I enjoyed them all. However, this is NOT a horror game. Instead, it is quite amusing and entertaining to play. If you liked the Stanley Parable, you will absolutely get a kick out of playing this game. Especially if you play it 'wrong'. Was I disappointed when I realized it wasn't a horror game? Yes. Did I enjoy it anywayws? Also Yes. Get it on a sale, and it'll occupy you for a while. I've only got 45 minutes in so far, but I still have a few achievements to gather.

sorry, wasn't for me. I don't get the point of this game :(

This game was very fun. The game description and trailer did a great job setting the stage. The different combinations for the various endings was very interesting. The jumps to find the tapes was hard. I am not a great jumper though. In my spare time maybe I will get all the jumps and the secrets that remain or next time a pro jumper comes over I will have them make the jumps for me. I want to know what are on the tapes. ha. The perspective given for Terry was great. The intensity when we choose for ourselves outside of their wishes was an accurate depiction of the balance of self and what others expect of us. The layers of perception of others and how our choices and outlook on life drive the outcomes. This game was well thought out. In each cavern I loved the various themes and change in music.

Not groundbreaking but what it does it does well. It scratches the "Stanley Parable itch" and if you're the kind of person that loves exploring everything except the main path then you should have a fun time. There is roughly 2 hours of content and there are some mechanics in place to allow you to skip the tedious part if you don't feel like doing a whole loop again. The world feels a bit barren however you can see that some effort have been put into creating a coherent art direction for its different part. The voice acting is good enough to keep you invested, usually those type of indie games only have text to read so it was nice to see the team go the extra mile to infuse some life into the characters. If you're into that kind of game, the price is fair. So was it worth it ? yeah it was.
