MOLOCH (Zero)

⠀

No ending, not scary, just a quick simulation about little simulated guys running across a screen and some make it, and some drop dead. Not sure what the dev was aiming for, but it misses the mark by a mile. Rating: 2/10

Игра «MOLOCH (Zero)» — это атмосферный хоррор с элементами психологического триллера. Геймплей строится на исследовании заброшенных локаций, решении головоломок и взаимодействии с жуткими сущностями. Графика выполнена в стиле нуар, с тёмными тонами и мрачной атмосферой, что усиливает напряжение. Сюжет развивается через фрагменты памяти и диалоги, оставляя место для интерпретаций. Звуковое сопровождение — отдельный плюс: низкочастотные звуки и неожиданные резкие эффекты создают ощущение присутствия. Минус — иногда неоднозначное управление и сложность в понимании механик. Для любителей атмосферного хоррора — рекомендую, но требует терпения.

Moloch (zero) is not really a game, it's a preachy 2D retro pixel "art-not-game" that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. The developers follow the same course they took with EnviroGolf to shove a sanctimonious message down gamers throats, entirely ineffectively. This time, the message is about the evils of mindless corporations. Just like EnviroGolf, they fail spectacularly at this mission and do so in a way that's completely harmful to their cause. As EnviroGolf is proven to be an environmentally harmful game, so to does Moloch (zero) act in ways that support massive, faceless corporations. Built using the video game construction kit GameMaker Studio from YoyoGames, the game only runs on x86 PCs produced by Intel and AMD, on PC hardware mass produced by corporations that resemble Moloch in many ways, and of course it's designed for Microsoft Windows. So in order to tell us all about the evils of corporations, these guys are lining the pockets of dozens of them. You can't make this stuff up. It's like those selfies of teenagers putting their finger up to capitalist pigs... selfies taken on their iPhones…

senseless game

they don't even tell you if you got the job or not. the mini game was kind of annoying more than fun. so I thought the dev was just bad at showing what was in the game from the screenshots and stuff, but really there just inst much to this one...
