The Mystery of Caketropolis

[b][u]SPOILERS AHEAD! MAJOR, [i]MAJOR[/i] SPOILERS AHEAD!![/u][/b] Just a note: remember this is a review, and is thus MY OPINION. This game is wonderful! ...And then it stumbles at the last possible hurdle. And it stumbles hard. First, let's get to the good stuff: pretty much everything! The music is really great, the character designs are nifty (well, the dragons, at least), it's fun to see Rim's reactions when you investigate things, and while I had to go through a few times to get everything, it's a really interesting ride. Not to mention it's got some really good humor. The story itself is written pretty well, too, with themes of racism with both sides having some understandable reasons behind their biases. But then...oh boy. It's one great, big downer. One of the worst kinds, too, because it deliberately pulls the rug out from under you. If you don't like stories where you find out that the good ending was a lie, don't waste your time on this game. RANT AHEAD! You start off getting a bad ending. Then you're able to get the good ending with some extra work. And then, you're shown that this good ending was nothing more than the protagonist, a young dragon, being told com…

I was excited to get this game - dragons, cake, what could go wrong?? As it turns out, though, the story just. Doesn't work for me. The worldbuilding went some weird directions that don't really make sense if you think about them and I didn't connect to the characters and the story macguffin.

I loved this game so very much. The writing is wonderful, the world has so much detail, and the characters are awesome. I will warn you, some scenes are heart-wrenchingly sad. Also, the dragon point system is not the way to the good ending so don't worry about it on your first playthrough. You need information from one go through to get the other ending and the point system is just for an achievement and unique dialoge.

After playing the game to completion. I do want to say that this was a fun and entertaining experience, that's tackles some unexpected themes. I did enjoy the writing and the game has some fun dialogue that made me laugh out loud. The music also was a very nice suprise too. I throughly enjoyed the sprite work and those extra bonus stories we go later down the line, were fun, quirking and a needed conclusion to events of the main story. Its a good game with a story i think does need to be told. Good work Afiq Suradi and your small team for making a very interesting game. (Also art is absoluely well done. Just wanted to say)

Good Game

You get to play as a dragon, but instead of killing things you lick and boop everything.
