Moss Palace Parade

Sureal game. Really short, I'd like to see more of this games world and lore.

A simple adventure game/walking sim. The idea and visuals are pretty good but the execution lacking. It's short and small (only a couple of screens to explore), linear (three endings you reach in a set order), the story is rather standard and predictable, and it's told mainly through walls of text in notes you find, depending on camera pushing up may mean going up or left, the only puzzle (sokoban) is ridiculously easy, after exiting and loading the game again menu navigation stopped working with my controller (I could still use it to play, but for menu I had to use the keyboard or mouse) - and that was after the patch that was supposed to fix it, for some reason interaction and confirm aren't the same button and if you press the former during a dialogue, your character automatically talks to the NPC again when the dialogue ends, the Japanese font may look cool but it's hard to read... there's a lot of tiny problems like these. But it's short and cheap so I wouldn't say it's not worth playing for the atmosphere and visuals alone. [spoiler]Objectively:[/spoiler] 6.8/10
