About The Heroes Around Me

The Heroes Around Me tells a story of a family of 3: the hard-working and quiet father – Nan, his daughter Lili, and their pet dog Sesame. Players will experience the harshness and warmth in the simpler time of the 1990s, where lots of stories are untold.

The translation is so poor it cannot be overlooked or given a recommendation. I’ve seen many games where people complain of translation not being up to par, but this is BY FAR the weakest and most error-ridden game I’ve played. Spelling errors, random spaces in a word making it two words, bad comprehension of common dialect. It’s BADDDDD. There is no excuse for it. A spell check or AI tool run once through could fix 90% of it. This is low effort slop.

Man, did I want to like this game, overall beautiful pixel art (even if the blurred walking animation made my eyes hurt) , nice music, story meant for the feels. Every thing you could possibly want. The major issue is the english translation. Full on conversations not translated! Would not recommend! :(

[h2]An Unforgettable Emotional Journey[/h2] [h3]Rating: 9/10[/h3] Honestly, The Heroes Around Me completely took me by surprise. It's an absolute triumph of an indie game that takes you on a deeply emotional ride. It really digs into the lives of its characters, making you genuinely feel their joy, struggles, and heartache right along with them. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3805320948 [h3]The Good[/h3] For me, the absolute heart of the game is its narrative. It's surprisingly heavy and emotional, and the characters are written with so much depth that I couldn't help but get attached to them. Because the game is linear, the pacing stays super tight and focused, and the simple controls let me just sit back and absorb the story without fighting the game. Very calm and cozy. It balances the heavy emotional moments with some genuinely funny, cute scenes that had me smiling. The cutscenes are expertly crafted, and the soundtrack is completely on point. It always hits the exact right note for whatever the scene is trying to make you feel. Visually, I was blown away by the pixel graphics. It shows that retro art styles can carry an insane amount of emotional wei…

i had a very favourable view of the game because of my high expectations. unfortunately, my experience wasnt good playing it. the game wont even let me exit while the dialogues are running, my biggest gripe with it. and the dialogues take too long and i feel my attention slipping away, although thats a more of a me problem. i do wish people made games with brisker writing. theres also too little gameplay for it to be satisfying. i hope to finish the game, just out of curiousity to know what happens at the end of it. but i wont recommened it, sorry.
