Throws you into a bunch of puzzles for which there are no clues and you're on your own. Not for me.1 found this helpful
RPG Maker strikes again! "IOUA" is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. Notably, the "developer" couldn't work out how to use RPG Maker to make a JRPG (the only thing it can do, and it's terrible at it). Instead, we have an "I'm thirteen and meta is clever" plot around this RPG Maker asset flip being the product of a bunch of other RPG Maker asset flips, and you have to do 2D adventuring and solve puzzles while reading, yes, you guessed it, the high school anime club dropout fan-fiction cringefest of writing that makes up this RPG Maker asset puke. At least it's not about the developers imaginary anime girlfriend. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC game…1 found this helpful
The game was confusing, weird, and felt like a waste of time. Some of the puzzles made absolutely no sense, and there wasn't even a good prompt to try and solve them.
one of the hardest games i've ever played, i cant get past the part where it says "there is nothing interesting about this house"
