Culling of Normality

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop][b]Warning: AI Slop[/b][/url] This non-game e-book is partially or completely made with talentless, soulless AI generated content.[/quote] "Culling of Normality" 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. This garbage e-book was not sincerely written, it was made for a "game jam", and I truly hope the "author" was forcibly removed, either for the use of AI slop or thinking that reading a book is the same thing as playing the game (it is not), or both. Or, it's the worst attempt at running a game jam ever. Books aren't games. The topic, of course, is the author's imaginary girlfriend, this time a farmer, and there's a horror twist that, should M Night…

Couldn't really enjoy this one. Writing and grammar is fine. Not a fan of the art. Don't mind it being AI. It's free and dev's first game after all. Style just not to my taste. But I don't read VN's for the art. Narrative has an interesting concept, but the plot never gets explored in any depth. Some plot holes can be overlooked, but these are craters. And conclusion(s) felt unsatisfying as a result. Not bad exactly, but rather incomplete.

[h1]#tinygamereviews[/h1] [code]An unexpected choice for supernatural horror game. Despite the use of AI, I'm always proud of anyone who can cobble something coherent and complete together on their own.[/code] [list][list] [*][b][u]Overall Score[/u][/b]: 2/5 [/list] [hr][/hr] [h1][b]Curator: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42137521/]Nostalginauts[/url][/b][/h1] [h1]Full Review[/h1] [table] [tr] [td]Graphics[/td] [td]2/5[/td] [td]Not a fan of AI art in general, but at least what was used was well-chosen.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Sound[/td] [td]2/5[/td] [td]Nothing fantastic, but appropriate for the setting.[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Story & Writing[/td] [td]2/5[/td] [td]Simple but intriguing enough.[/td] [/tr] [/table] [list] [*][b][u]In-Game Purchases[/u][/b]: None [*][b][u]Learning Curve[/u][/b]: Easy [*][b][u]Replayability[/u][/b]: Medium [/list]

I played this game twice to see the endings. I wanted to give a review since it's your first work ;) Not bad :3 I like your art, it's very beautiful. I like story, simple, short, but good enough. I even teared up! If you played it then you know why. (no spoilers). All n all, I loved your game :) "Thumbs up" Am looking forward for your new game ;) Best of luck

Very cool first game by a budding developer. I liked the story and I cant say much, but it was like a Twilight Zone episode. The ending caught me off guard and I really enjoyed the twists and turns! Excited to see more from this talented storyteller!
