[h1] How far are you willing to go as you try to change your past? [/h1] Contraindication, despite being a short visual novel, certainly manages to catch your attention right off the bat. As you start the game, you immediately notice its symbolic visuals and ominous, unsettling background music, all of which leaves you feeling uneasy and curious to know more. With this intriguing setup, the game presents itself through vibrant colors and unique art style as you follow the story of Reimah, a girl tormented by grief and loss who decides to tirelessly dedicate countless days trying to avert the tragedy that has shaped her life. This can be interpreted as her response to a traumatic event in which she felt helpless, leading her to seek a way to prevent such suffering from occurring again. She hopes for change and for a resolution to what has become her life's purpose. Except, events that happened far in the past can't be altered anymore... or can they? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3738221030 If you are interested in the art style or wondering whether the story has any foundation at all, I would definitely recommend this game. Not only does it avoid ending…2 found this helpful
welp the story are kinda short and the art are unique but after reading all of them I still didn't understand whats the story even about like everything I read just phase trought my head <'-'>
I'm not a very intelligent person, but there's something here.
I was holding off this game for a while, but I'm so glad I was able to finally pick it up! Even though it's a pretty short visual novel and doesn't give much background of the mc, plus about what the situation is. Some of the aspects can be very much be interpreted throughout the short story. The visuals, especially the color choices, and art of the game is really beautiful. It adds an uneasy feeling throughout the game, which I really enjoy. The puzzles in the game were pretty easy too. Also the bg music that plays really adds more to the eeriness of the visuals. I REALLY REALLY REALLY like games that are able to make me feel uneasy. So I'd definitely recommend this game, if you're like me. ... ... I'm definitely going to go through a deep dive on this game now🥹
wow! great art and story and sound design! i was so invested!
