About Need a packet?

Beep Beep Beep
That's what you'll hear all day after playing Need a packet - horror-simulator about supermarket cashier, who is gradually losing her mind because of everyday routine work. She starts to feel that the cash register is turning into a medieval tower, while dragons and chimeras are flying around and trying to kill Molly. Events take place on the background of a garbage crisis in the city. Grounds are rotting, recycling factories are overcrowded, water is poisoned and citizens start to disappear in the local forests.

"Need a packet?" is divided into three scenes:

Mollies house
This is a safe place, you can restore your health and play with items in the house.

Way to work
This part is divided into three frames. In the first two we read news, watch streams and buy products for our appartment. The third frame is a bullet hell segment where the control of the minibus passes to the player to dodge cars, ships and huge garbage bosses.

Work
This is where the main gameplay will take place. A client approaches a cash register and player need to register his/her products and take money. Gradually the mechanics becomes more complicated - there are products that need to be weighed with manually code input, the mechanics of the return and change.

A really Horror-Sim that is pretty unique. The days are pretty much the same but they are still not tedious. Its pretty hard even. I really enjoyed it even after first playing it on the PS4. I can highly recommend it.

This game is the biggest waste of my time.The game-play is ♥♥♥♥ the people are ♥♥♥♥ the design is ♥♥♥♥ it is all around just a ♥♥♥♥ game do not by it is a waste of money you're better of gambling it away than buying this game if you can even call it a game.I honestly don’t know what I expected from Need a Packet?, but it wasn’t this level of disappointment. The game is a total mess from start to finish. The premise sounded intriguing—like some kind of quirky puzzle game—but instead, it’s just a chaotic, clunky mess that feels more like a homework assignment than actual fun. First, the controls are unresponsive, and half the time, they don’t even work as intended. The graphics? Don’t even get me started. It looks like something from the early 2000s that was rushed out for a school project. The character design is bizarre and unsettling, which only adds to the confusion. The gameplay itself is about as exciting as watching paint dry. No real sense of direction, no tutorial, just a jumble of poorly explained tasks that make no sense. And let’s talk about the bugs. Constant crashes, weird glitches, and unskippable loading screens—at this point, I think the game is more of a test of …

I have hight doubts that this creator here is really an Ukrainian citizen. Except for their newest games (guess other costumers got wary too like myself) all of their older games are only available in Russian and English languages, but not in Ukrainian language! This felt so strange to me and since my questions in the discussion function got ignored I decided to refund those and to ignore thise developer for the future. Even more weird is that this person's using two difference Accounts (MA and Marginal Act) and the MA one is even a private one. Most likely this person is trying to avoid the sanctions and abuse the donation-willing gamers, who whish to support Ukraine. This is my main issue and about the game: it becomes impossible later to survive the car drives. Maybe it would be possible, if you buy a lot of food, but yeah good luck with trying that. So before you aren't 100% sure that this developer's a decent guy, I can't honestly recommend this game and even if they would be a good person, I couldn't recommend this impossible game.

Super buggy, got soft-locked a lot. Also the lack of instructions at first is really frustrating, especially with how unforgiving it gets. Unfortunately just not worth the frustration.

i did indeed need a packet
Recommended Jan 28, 2023
Basically got it for free paid like 35p for it. Its an ok game the best i got in the bundle i paid 1.77 for 5 games the others were copy and paste games i played for less than 5 mins so i cant review them but, this is with out a doubt better than the rest this game is actually pretty decent build wise, i struggled with the controls but it took me about 10-15 mins to get a grasp on the games controls. However i would pay more than a pound for this game. 6/10
