What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Inhuman Resources: A Literary Machination is praised by most players for its engaging writing, compelling plot, and atmospheric art style that draws comparisons to games like Disco Elysium, with many reporting they lost track of time playing through its roughly 6-7 hour runtime. The main complaint is that it offers limited player choice and some find the experience boring, though the majority consider it well worth purchasing and describe being thoroughly gripped by the narrative.
This is def one of my recent favorites and I don't usually play visual novels. I just love everything about this.2 found this helpful
loved the writing, loved the plot, loved the art. if you're a big reading and writing person, you will love this game1 found this helpful
Much like the people that inhabit the world of Inhuman Resources, I cannot tell you how or when the influence of SMYRNACORP over my life became apparent. On a day I cannot recall, Inhuman Resources found its way into my Steam wishlist. Some time after that, I saw it to be on sale and took it upon myself to buy it. I proceeded, then, to spend seven hours over the course of one night playing it start to finish. That is to say, it gripped me so thoroughly, I was positively unable to avert my attention but for brief moments to obtain a beverage or check on the laundry I had set in the dryer and subsequently forgotten about once I started this literary journey. If you are familiar with the opening moments of Disco Elysium, I was drawn into this experience much the same. You wake up in a dirty, disheveled room, forced into the realm of the living by an incessant blaring. For Harry Du Bois, it was the infernal blaring of Kim Kitsuragi's Coupris Kineema. For you, or rather your character in Inhuman Resources, it is the incessent ringing of a cellphone better left in a prior decade. It is in those opening moments I was gripped by the raw and nonsanguine prose of Inhuman Resources, and…
Raking it's claws across the supple flesh of my grey matter. Finished my run through in about 6 hours. Its short, but I lost track of time playing it. Worth the price, would recommend. I wish they had a few more chapters, but I get how that can balloon projects like this far beyond their scope. I'm left wanting more... yet I have closure with what I got.
boring imo and few choices
Lovely game. Throughly enjoyed it.
