I am confident to say this is a pretentious piece of turd. No gameplay, weird UI design, buggy, dumb jump scare. nonsensical music.1 found this helpful
"rotatePDF: A Corporate Tale" is probably inspired by the unexpected viral success of Papers, Please, and while it's slightly worse in quality than Papers Please, it's got absolutely none of the charm. What do you do in the game? You play a corporate lackey that has to rotate papers around (there's even a tangram)... yeah that's it. With a bit of super-pretentious "art" narrative, that makes the whole thing even worse. The graphics aren't great, just low quality 2D visuals, next to no effort was put into making this look remotely acceptable. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players..…1 found this helpful
could've been a cool game if you didn't have to rotate 50 documents everytime you finished a puzzle :(
So we're just supposed to rotate papers? I know I shouldn't have called into work today. Imagine actual work being better than staying at home gaming.
a german sure made this game
pretty eh if you ask me, could've been less annoying at the gameplay if we want to make it better
