Bond Blues

⠀

One of the best short experiences i have ever played, with some actual laugh-out-loud moments and a compelling story. Bravo Casual and co.

Cheers Casual! Reigen in the police office.

Bond Blues is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. Bond Blues is an extremely badly written and even more badly illustrated E-book about bail bondsmen that was slapped together at a Game Jam, which proves the author actually thought that reading a book is exactly the same thing as playing a game. They are wrong. Books are not games. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and you have to click your mouse every time you wanted to read the next sentence, instead of just turn…

It was an interesting story, considering it's a visual novel and was made in 52 hours. Give it a try, if you like visual novel.
