Ok, this is a bit difficult to rate. First let's talk about the gameplay. It was fine, the parts in a factory were a bit challenging and fun, however, the rest of it was simply just walking and talking to other npc's. I also had a few technical difficulties but it may be that my potato pc didn't want to cooperate. Now let's talk about the graphics. This was very interesting. Personally I haven't played a stop motion game before (or at least I don't think I did) and the fact that everything was a clay formed into a models was really intriguing. Lastly there is the story. At first glance it can be just boring nothingness to you. But when you start thinking about it then it really shines. This short "reality horror" is most powerful in it's realism. I won't say more, just read between the lines to fully understand not only the simplicity but also the complexity of this story. Now, why did I click the "not recommend" button? It's simple, from my point of view the majority of people won't enjoy this game. I personally did and I am certain there are many people who'll enjoy this as well. If you want to buy the game after this review then you are probably one of them. After all, the …1 found this helpful
Artistically stunning. Immaculate atmosphere. Completely wasted on a short meta-take. 3/10
Iss gud🙂🙂
Very short game but the atmosphere is very nice. It could be better but still enjoyed it.
The very first project from Jan Nechvatal descibes his struggling after finishing high school. He had to got a job in the factory which was very hard and the only thing to do after the work was to go to local bar and drink. Hlina is a walking simulator from the world looking like Neverhood, but way way darker, sad and depressed. Everything is dark, it is raining a lot and depression is everywhere. The game is very short (up to 1 hr) and before it starts it ends. Most of the secrets will stay not explained. For example what in real happened in the end. Hopefully, there will be some sequel someday. --- 6.5/10
What a beautifully done game. And an interesting message it has. It was so nice to see a Czech environment in a game too. Definitely recommend.
