M1: A Death in the Desert

[list][*][b][h1]Morlan's shorts:[/h1][/b][/list] Omit the tag "Action" and you'll be alright. The only animation consists of some graphical changes when things happen, e.g. some dies. [b]You[/b] don't move. You make a few choices that change the ending. The story and delivery are fun to follow and that was enjoyable as was the music! Surprisingly it's quite good for such a title. But the price is definitely off, [b]yep even for 3 coins it's too much[/b]. Few grammar errors and quite a short game (in content) that takes longer to finish because of the text delay.. but points for different endings. Drac's back.. [b]Don't waste more time reading lengthy reviews.. time is of the essence![/b]

It's like a mix of classic adventure games(art style), and visual novel. There aren't a ton of choices, but they seem to flow rather nicely from what I played. The story absolutely didn't hook me, so I've given up on this experience pretty early on. Hard to connect with the characters and all that jazz. But hey, if you like Visual Novels and are swayed by the nostalgic visuals you might want to give this one a shot.

M1: A Death in the Desert is an e-book with a kind of philosophical theme where you're given a gun with three bullets and three names. This may be a bit of a spoiler, but the only sane solution is to shoot this game three times. As an e-book, this is obviously not a game. On Steam, which is for games, that's not gonna work out very well. As far as books go, it's worse than a book. You don't have to click your mouse every time you want to read a sentence with a real book. And this is badly written. If they could write properly, they'd be published authors, not trying to sell e-books on a gaming platform. You can get better books for free from libraries, online, etc etc etc. It's impossible to recommend this to anyone.

We are what are actions dictate. I was thinking about this the other day oddly enough. In our current digital age it is easy to have something dredged up from your past where you were in the wrong or as a collective our opinions were wrong; we're human after all. Not all of us have the ability or "lucky chance" to choose the right side from the get go. But we all have the opportunity and change our minds. Our actions today speak more to who we are than what we've said in the past. Our actions dictate who we are and want to become. So overall neat short story that happened to mesh well with a shower thought from a couple of days ago on my part.
