About Records of the Flycatcher
... When you finally regain consciousness, you find yourself lying face down in the snow, with a long trail of footprints behind you. It seems you had collapsed from exhaustion. You find yourself struggling to flip yourself over. When you eventually do, you find several newly acquired cuts and bruises all over yourself. You quickly administer some first aid, before spending a few minutes fiddling with your radio set. But as you expect, your frequencies remain silent. On your back lies a small saving grace: a state-of-the-art imported bolt action sniper rifle, far superior to any domestically manufactured equivalent. You forgot exactly how it fell into your hands in the midst of the chaotic rout. And despite everything, part of you wished its previous owner was still alive. Your chain of command has completely broken down. Hadrian soldiers are pouring across the eastern border in their tens of thousands, and you are one of the last few things standing between them and the defenseless villages across the vast Altheimian wilderness. In the absence of further orders, you have no choice but to conduct a fighting retreat by yourself.
- Quietly eliminiate Hadrian officers and agents. Set up ambushes, plan your attacks, and do everything in your power to slow down the enemy advance.
- Navigate through the vast Altheimian wilderness, trudging through terrain that may aid or hinder you. Encounter the occasional wildlife curious enough to approach your bonfire.
- Rendezvous with fellow soldiers. Exchange intel, or assist them if they are in trouble. Deal with any who had stepped out of line.
- Encounter fellow Altheimians, resupply and rest in friendly villages, purchase their goods and services if needed. Help any remaining civilians flee the oncoming Hadrian onslaught, or ignore them to focus on your objectives.
- Find abandoned items within the war-torn ruins that scatter the wilderness, and try not to get drunk from any leftover alcohol you find.
- Try to balance your Sanity and personal well-being with the realities and necessities of war.

"Records of the Flycatcher" 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 is a garbage, badly written "CYOA" style e-book about, yep, you guessed it, the authors imaginary anime girlfriend, who this time is a sniper, so I guess that's a real vivid imagination there. The writing is on par with the premise, as awful as you would expect given this is a fan-fiction about some guys imaginary girlfriend that he paid $100 to publish here. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible taste in literature), but then translate that to a format where the words dribble out and …1 found this helpful
CZE&ENG ČESKÁ RECENZE DÓLE Records of the Flycatcher is a simple story-driven 2D game. You take on the role of a sniper from Altheimin and your goal is to survive the rest of the war. It is mainly a narrative roguelike, where you must balance health, psyche, and the readiness of the protagonist based on your own decisions that you make in a given day (part of the game). As for the gameplay, it is rather minimalist; each day a text describing the situation appears in front of you and you must decide how to deal with it. Whether it is shooting an enemy sniper or rescuing an allied pilot. The text that appears in front of you every day is well written and understandable, allowing you to better empathize with the situation. A big plus is the wide variety of events; even after my third playthrough, new events still appeared. The game itself lasts about 20 minutes, so it can entertain you for a short while. I personally really liked Records of the Flycatcher. It is not for everyone, but for the nice price of FREE I think it is worth it. Records of the Flycatcher je jednoduchá příběhová 2D hra. Ujímáte se role ostrostřelkyně z Altheimianu a vaším cílem je přežít po zbytek války. Jedná s…
Interesting game with a nice variety of choices and consequences. I would really suggest giving it a try to see how long can you survive. The only issue for me is I feel like success depending too much RNG that game gives you, instead of player choice.
this game deserve more love
short but fun
