About Defective Holiday
I’m not sure about this one, I shouldn’t really be selling it.
A customer brought it in this morning and, apparently, it’s not working correctly. He said it didn’t make much sense to him, but I don’t know what his expectations were. You know what this kind of trip can be like for some people.
Anyway, it’s supposed to be varied, a few locations, a nice hotel and not too crowded. I think there’s even some wildlife. I should return it to the company, but if you’re just looking to get away for a bit, I can give you a good discount. That would save me the effort of sending it in. Obviously, there are no guarantees as I haven’t tested it myself.
So, you’d be on your own with it. You’re ok with that right?

This is a walking sim made by an artist. You enter this person's unique world and you just enjoy the scenery. The theme is holidays / vacation. The game consists of various scenes that either require you to walk or just observe your surroundings. A departure lounge at the airport, a beach and car rides will be returning scenes. It is an interesting game with a very good soundtrack. The only downside I had was the omission of graphics settings. The game looks quite beautiful but the vsync was off the whole time. There is an interesting effect applied to your surroundings that limits the viewing distance. The basic form of objects that appear in the distance can be indicative of the topography so you can assume you are headed in the right direction. I'm not sure why this was necessary - to ensure the game runs on every type of hardware? Also, sometimes when you reached your goal you have to wait until the next scene commences. At the beginning you'll think you need to do something and you - naturally, if you are a fan of the genre - will just keep pressing "E". This is a walking sim without a real story.

Overall, a pretty amazing game. The visuals are nice, you have time to explore, its immersive. Not much more I could really want. The story is hard to follow but that's the main point of the game, with a nice addition of allowing the player to join together pieces of story while creating their own answers. Overall, a pretty great game 10/10
Игра 'Defective Holiday' — это настоящий сюрприз, окутанный атмосферой мрачного праздника. С первых минут погружаешься в мир, где привычные рождественские мотивы искажены до неузнаваемости, а знакомые персонажи предстают в совершенно ином, пугающем свете. Разработчики мастерски создали уникальную, запоминающуюся визуальную стилистику, которая одновременно притягивает и отталкивает, вызывая целую гамму эмоций. Геймплей здесь не блещет сложностью, но он идеально вписывается в общую концепцию, предлагая игроку неспешное исследование, решение головоломок и погружение в историю. Сюжет, хоть и развивается неторопливо, постепенно раскрывает свои тайны, заставляя строить догадки и искать ответы. 'Defective Holiday' — это скорее интерактивный опыт, чем стандартный игровой процесс, и именно в этом кроется её сила. Она вызывает чувство дискомфорта, но при этом не отпускает, заставляя двигаться вперёд, чтобы узнать, что же скрывается за следующим углом. Отличный выбор для тех, кто устал от однообразных развлечений и ищет чего-то по-настоящему оригинального.
Great free game. If you haven't played Defective Holiday I suggest play it. It's free and very short. I think it took me between 20-40 minutes to complete. No bugs no issues. Simple navigation, the game guides you through the holiday and the cut scenes and the different areas from the forest to the airport with voiceover. Enjoyed it. Give this a go if you haven't played it.
