Finding Fido: The Journey

"Finding Fido: The Journey" is a weird 3D adventure game where you control a 2D texture running around static environments with some of the worst camera angle management ever to insult the entire video gaming institution. What do you do in the game? You wander around an asset flipped looking environment with a lazy cel shading filter slapped over it looking for your dog. The godawful cameras and movement stuff makes this thoroughly unpleasant to play. The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever. Gamers can tell... and it comes across as insincere. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too.

"Finding Fido: The Journey" is possible some student project (just a few people worked on that). Game can be beaten in 10 minutes... if you can handle controls early. There are many issues with this game: a) Saves do not work well - they only save level, but Level 2 is divided into two sections b) No music or sounds c) Controls are absolute, so always pressing W will move you to same direction, however, it is easy to lose orientation because of camera work d) no animations for protagonist - he is just sprite... (simple texture). Spoilers: Answer to riddle: [spoiler]the future[/spoiler] Ending screen, along with credits: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2959499155

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

I liked it. Its charm is undeniable and is a great addition to the genre.

Игра "Finding Fido: The Journey" - это трогательное и увлекательное приключение. Сюжет о поиске пропавшей собаки Фидо цепляет с первых минут. Визуальное оформление в приятном мультяшном стиле создает уютную атмосферу, а музыкальное сопровождение отлично подчеркивает настроение каждого уровня. Геймплей достаточно прост, но в то же время предлагает интересные головоломки, требующие внимательности и логического мышления. Персонажи, с которыми мы встречаемся по пути, хорошо проработаны и добавляют истории глубины. Чувствуется, что разработчики вложили душу в этот проект. Несмотря на кажущуюся детскость, игра поднимает важные темы любви, дружбы и преданности. Это отличный выбор для семейного досуга и просто для тех, кто ищет добрую и позитивную игру, способную оставить приятное послевкусие. Однозначно рекомендую к прохождению!
