"Dissent" isn't a game, it's a cringey non-game high school anime club dropout fan-fiction that's been dumped on Steam into the games section. As a visual novel, it doesn't have any gameplay. It's just a lot of clicking through bad, cringe dialogue that no real publisher would ever accept. When people can't get their work published in print, they pay the $100 fee to dump their fan-fiction here instead, where we have to put up with it when looking for things that are actual PC games. While this garbage e-book features all the same high school anime club dropout fan-fiction writing, it's not really a full book, intended to be an advertisement/prologue/demo for some other garbage e-book also unwanted by gamers. The plot, refreshingly, is not apparently all about the author and his imaginary girlfriend, as are most Steam Direct non-game e-book fan-fictions, instead, this follows a college student investigating a mysterious research labratory, only with bad writing. This is a Choose Your Own Adventure format, but that doesn't make it a game. It's still just a book. Nobody finishes the pain of reading a cringey CYOA fan-fiction and thinks it was a video game. This was slapped togethe…

It's a very VERY short game and not fun at all...I want my 29 minutes back now....

If you want a full length visual novel, play Coalescence, the sequel made by the same studio. This is obviously a demo meant to practice systems and set up a basis to build off of. Very quick hit game completion, cool animations, and a nice intro into a much bigger, enticing story!

[h1]Before I played Dissent, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
