Hidden Protector : ROADTRIP (Preface)

⠀

Hidden Protector : ROADTRIP (Preface) is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Hidden Protector : ROADTRIP (Preface) is a software application that This garbage software is a demo/advert for a non-interactive 3D rendered video. Let's ask the question... are videos games? Did you ever watch Terminator 2 on VHS and then say "Wow, what a great game I just played!" You didn't? Yes, because videos aren't games. The fact the producer didn't even bother making the rest of the video says a lot. But we have to ask... what value is there for this incomplete non-game garbage being dumped on Steam for gamers?

I got roped into this game by the name, since I really love games that involve long journeys but I'm not quite sure if this is it. I might just be stupid but I came into this thinking there'd be more gameplay. It's definitely more a interactive short film than a game. The road trip aspect was there only visually, rather than in gameplay. As for the story itself, it didn't really catch me. That's all I'll say. That said, this is a neat free experience that can be finished in half an hour or less so I can't be too critical. If there was a follow up to this that was longer and got more in-depth into the ideas brought up here, I'd definitely be interested.

"Hidden Protector: ROADTRIP (Preface)" — захватывающий пролог, сочетающий интригующий сюжет, динамичный геймплей и неожиданные повороты. Игра мастерски передаёт атмосферу таинственности, сочетая элементы приключений, головоломок и детектива. Графика и звуковое сопровождение удачно дополняют настроение, а управление интуитивно понятно.
