Flux

[b] Flux [/b] is mostly a narrative experience, but there are several mini-games that you have to play to move the story forward. Please note that game uses adobe flash to play, which is a little unusual when it comes to Steam releases. The actual meat of the game is the dialogue that you have with your lover over the phone, and the mini-games work as a time-lapse that unlocks new conversations. I don't particularly like any of the games, they just don't have any gameplay depth aside from giving currency that you can use to buy cosmetics and a few active skills. I initially wrote a negative review because the game had many side characters that had nothing to say. The latest update added dialogue progression to those characters, I think you can even unlock a few hidden items if you complete certain tasks - the world building and overall value of the game have improved significantly as a result. However, if you expecting some hack&slash experience (I certainly did), save yourself $6 and find something else, the combat here is bare-bones and offers nothing exciting. What we have here is a game that has some positive elements when it comes to atmosphere, story and soundtrack - a niche …

Beautiful visuals and evocative music combined into a unique experience. I really like how it alludes to wider world through character interactions and would love to see the setting explored in more detail.

Flux is a relaxing experience, a visit to a neon world. I enjoyed this game the most as a way to lose myself for a little while, typing away as a meditative break in my day. There are 'goals' you can set yourself - get better at the optional combat, buy different customisation options, or finish the story (although I can't say the story was too much to my liking). Either way, if you need a break from our world, Flux is a good contender.

Love the beautiful art style. Definitely a unique experience.
