An Aspie Life

Wait, is THAT ME?!!?

Игра "An Aspie Life" — это эмоционально насыщенное путешествие в мир аутизма, где игрок погружается в повседневные трудности и эмоциональные бури. Она помогает понять, как люди с аспергером воспринимают мир: социальные взаимодействия, шум, переключение внимания — всё это становится вызовом. Игра сильна в передаче чувств, но её скудная графика и простой геймплей не всегда соответствуют глубине темы. Тем не менее, это важный инструмент для повышения эмпатии и осознанности.

"An Aspie Life" is not primarily intended to be a game, this is instead another one of those self-aggrandizement efforts to get famous off the back of a serious health condition. That's right, this is a more-book-than-game "art" piece in the form of one of the worst made 2D side scrolling pixelcrap "Adventure" games. The subject: A hamfisted, inaccurate and unpleasant experience as the game attempts to take on the role of a health evangelist, but incorrectly portrays the challenges faced by sufferers of the condition. Trying to address serious issues such as mental and emotional health through the medium of video games is misguided and can be harmful. While it's plausible to suggest the intention was noble, this can do more harm than good. It's my opinion that it's improper to use video games to address mental health issues. Apart from the harm such hamfisted attempts at addressing social problems can cause, this offers zero benefit to PC gamers.

I don't like reviewing games I didn't actually finish, which is why I'm not giving this a numerical rating, however I did play through the first whole day and WOW, this game is broken. All of the mechanics are poorly explained and also they don't even work have the time (I couldn't check my phone, for example). It yelled at me for staying out too long even though I was literally home when that happened. The mini arcade games range from incredibly bland and basic to outright unplayable because of how broken they are. The conversation mechanics were kind of busted, and also the writing was bad. And that's not even ofc getting into the questionable title of the game itself. Maybe there's some more redeeming qualities in the second day, but that would be after at least around an hour of gameplay so, no, I do not recommend trying this game.

game good 👍
