Character Descriptions:
Often the target of her friend’s ridicule, May is a reclusive young girl who finds solace mainly in her cat Matilda whom she found 6 months prior to the start of the story in a dumpster. May had a humble upbringing with her friends Bea and Max, but as they grew older, her friends began to look down on her for being different and coming from a lower-class family.
Bea is a young girl who treats May poorly despite being very close with her from a young age and has grown to exploit their friendship as they have gotten older. After her father got a better-paying job, Bea’s family moved away from May’s neighborhood and began to ditch May for a more popular crowd.
Max becomes friends with May and Bea later in their friendship but teams up against May when it comes to ridiculing her for her introverted nature. He is a hotheaded and privileged individual who often does not understand the discrepancies between his situation and the circumstances of others.

✦ AI summary
This review is primarily critical of Amalgamare's execution, with the player expressing disappointment in its shallow gameplay mechanics, weak narrative writing, and unappealing pixel art aesthetic that they feel compares unfavorably to other games in the genre. The reviewer suggests the game fails to deliver engaging puzzle-adventure content despite its exploration and combat systems, attributing much of the issues to poor artistic direction or implementation.
"Amalgamare" is a badly made 2D retro pixel top-down puzzle adventure game where you control a young girl and move around a "dungeon". What do you do in the game? The game's mechanics involve exploration, interaction with objects, combat, and discovering secrets. While there was a little attempt to bolt some garbage e-book cringe writing as a backdrop to the game, this doesn't help the shallow and uninteresting adventure gameplay. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. On pricing, this is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. Despite havin…
