DERE. Some Answers Before I...

This VN is very abstract and philosophical, sadly without delving deeply into its core themes, although still offers a surreal, intriguing and potentially contemplative experience! Can't say I grasp wtf I just read as the writing is not elaborate at all, but it was captivating and conveyed a heavy, desperate ambience pretty well! I found the atmosphere and overall presentation very nice, the soundtrack is truly beautiful and the art including backgrounds is very lovely too. While the lack of content makes the story feel shallow, considering the complexity it's aiming at, I still think it's a pleasant short read with a great concept and high potential!

Is it completely weird and philosophical? Yes it is. Worth every buck. Or euro.

Wonky translation but really good music.

"DERE. Some Answers Before I..." is a short visual novel where you wake up with amnesia in a post apocalyptic world and try to figure out what happened. The game tries to be deep and philosophical but in reality (at least the English translation) is really rough. It wouldn't surprise me if someone just ran it through Google Translate and called it a day. The music feels a bit out of place and dragged the entire experience down. It was not gloomy enough to fit the theme of the game. There are 4 different endings, together with 4 different achievements for completing each of them but... they all popped at once after one choice, so it's probably bugged and if you are here only to complete the game, you might just dip after that. The secret ending wasn't that interesting either. The atmosphere has something to it and the concept isn't bad, but the style alone doesn't save a game that feels like an unfinished product. Unless you enjoy pretentious yapping, skip this one. If you have an hour to spare, you can give it a try.

Mind asunder. Split. Incomprehensible. This cage I live in. Torture? Physical? In brain? It does not compare to the real deal. And so, I lose my use. A zombie. Not like I had any brains to begin with. Though I disagree with [spoiler] the lack of a real ending as a trope[/spoiler] this is quite nice. It seems abstract, though all you need to do is read and comprehend more. Relatable to the feeling of a disconnected mind, similar to derealization.

Completely unintelligible.
