No men in this house

⠀

The second entry of the foreigners in Thailand series is astoundingly great so far. I’m yet to complete the game, but it’s already got me hooked 👍🏻 Explanation: I did play the first story called “Shut your teeth” — it was really fun and engaging. Since I lived in different countries and was a “foreigner” myself, I did immediately wanted to check out the whole game and interact with the characters. So the first entry (Shut your teeth) had interesting characters, mysterious plot about foreigners (Russians, mostly) in Thailand, and really dazzling writing (in a good way) 🔥 “No men in this house” has the same vibes, though stands apart in quite a few ways. I’ve noticed that the story has a different approach, more action-y if you get what I mean (it’s a visual novel nonetheless). The main character is Armenian — and as a half Armenian myself, it brought a smile on my face 👀 I cannot comment much on the story and plot, but (without any spoilers) it’§ about traditional Thai folklore that entered foreigners’ lives — characters try to uncover what the hell is going on, we as players/readers try to do the same. It’s worth mentioning that I gave a lil’ feedback to the dev of this ga…

[h1]Before I played No men in this house, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Unlike Shut Your Teeth, this is a much more straightforward murder mystery, with Armenian tourist Armen serving as the detective. If Shut Your Teeth is like a slow burn horror story, this is more of a classical mystery novel. It was a very enjoyable experience, and I really hope Anastasia Erokhina graces us by making the Russians in Thailand dilogy a trilogy.

Following in the foot steps of Shut your Teeth. No men in this House is a nice murder mystery. Well developed characters, wonderful photographs, enjoyed the in story details in red and the cat. Not to give a lot away but I thought in was the CAT. Not wanting to say, SPOILER ALTER, but its who you think. That damn CAT.

"No men in this house" is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This garbage e-book at least deviates from what's normal on non-game e-books dumped on Steam... it's not directly about the authors imaginary anime girlfriend. Instead it's a rather poorly written account of the experiences of Russian tourists in Thailand. But one thing remains constant... the writing of this fan-fiction is garbage tier. This was slapped together with the godawful Ren'Py visual novel construction kit... enabling terrible authors to publish books as if they were games when otherwise we might have been spared the pollution. So, just like no professional writing took place here, no professional software development too…
