About Not For You
DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU DO NOT LIKE NARRATIVE GAMES NOT FOR YOU is an album of short, narrative experiences, which you can play through in any order you would like. Each one delves further into the thoughts and feelings of the games developer, Thomas Hunt, and the struggle that is the video game industry.Founder of award-winning indie studio InkForge Studios, Thomas Hunt is just another developer, making just another game. What makes him any different from the 100 other developers out there? Nothing. Apart from a great sense of humor of course. (This is written by Thomas, if that wasn't clear already).Look this description is getting too long already. I COULD sit here and tell you about the socio-political skateboarding cow, but where would be the fun in that. Play the game, or don't. It's your decision, and after all, its NOT FOR YOU.

lets be honest, i went in looking for easy achievements but what i got was a deep and thought provoking experience that got me a bit misty in the end (what? im not crying your crying! wanna fight about it?). anyway, starting with the review breakdown.. the writing was great! the overarching narrative in each of the games and in the interviews unlocked following the completion of each game was great. really drew me in and had me hooked. the gameplay was interesting. breaking the game down into separate stories or sections was a fitting way to convey the ideas being put forth in the writing. some of the platforming in the box game was a bit janky as the box hero tended to slide when he would jump and then land making for some do overs in certain areas (specifically the water section). skateboarding cow game had to be the most fun. but the somber tone of the other games kinda hit home. in the end the game was great and if youre thinking of checking it out please do and show the dev some love. that being said... this part goes out to the dev, dont give up! i know how hard it is to battle with ones own inner monologue but dont give up! im also an aspiring writer and even if nothing…1 found this helpful
This game is, simply put: full of heart. A truly unique experience. It was fun and funny, and it made me think a little bit, and by "think", I'm not just talking about problem-solving, but philosophically too. I definitely laughed multiple times. If you're in the mood for something *different*, and have 45-60 minutes, you should check this one out.1 found this helpful
11/\10 That's it. I'm starting the fandom. If you're after graphics, or maybe gameplay, this really is "Not for you," but if you're after a story, then it is. The game isn't that long, since you can complete it in under an hour and get all the achievements. Each story was great. I'm not a person who cries a lot, but I ended up tearing up from the clock game. The game has subtitles (except for a few parts in the boxman game) and while it does say controller recommended (which I did borrow for this), it didn't seem like it was necessary. As much as I am praising the game, I will admit there are a few bugs. The only ones I've seen are in the boxman game with falling through the map (it did happen to me, and I had to restart because of it.) I found the hidden minigame, though it isn't much of a game as just a big collection of books, and I can't wait to read more of them. If you have a moment make sure to try this game. And if you don't have much time, just make sure to play the clock game and witness the MS paint experience in the boxman game.
The Socio-Political Skateboarding Cow Game.
I am a big fan of the part in space, we were...alone, our oxygen slowly dying out, and we just talk to ourselfs, during our last moments, it was a great run. BUT i didnt like that: - u cant stop game during monologues (i had to ♥♥♥♥ mate) - box kingdom last scene was bit too long for a joke
5 short game? narrative experience with gameplay. completely different topic, style and piece of someone mind for each one! experience it yourself
