About SHELL_BREAK
/* Jack into a game where you have to confess love to your dearest one.
...... Brace yourself. */
// General Description :
SHELL-BREAK is a game of sci-fi, RPG genre with a cyberpunk-like theme, maze-exploring and elements of survival. A player, taking the role of a captive protagonist imprisoned deep inside a research facility, is asked to play a perilous game with an A.I. program in charge there. The very rule of the game is simple and clear; you successfully confess your love to the A.I., then your affection will be answered and rewarded. However, should there be an occasion of failing to accomplish the goal, a certain death, with your life-signal flat, will come get you.
// Gameplay :
In order to tell your dearest one how deep your love is, you will be asked to collect the very words, the three 'keywords', needed for making such confession. You will be exploring deep inside the maze-like control room, while hacking terminals after terminals to reach the spot where each keyword is saved. You will also be jacking into the numerous, and yet hazardous virtual worlds where both your prowess and your very own existence are tested; yes, you will be put into the fiery test where you go through grueling combats with security programs in variety. You'll have no other options but to put your own feet into the treacherous puzzles; the only way out is to solve them. To prove your love, you'll have to be brave enough to risk any kind of dangers ahead.
/* Love is a sweet medicine that treats all kinds of illness in the world.
A good medicine, indeed, comes from a drop of deadly poison. */

RPG Maker strikes again! This is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel JRPG ripoffs spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets flipped from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club weeaboo fan fiction. Basically, these guys didn't make a game, they filled out a couple of templates in a construction kit then proudly called themselves "developers". Also, like all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The developer was honest enough to mention which assets they were flipping when they made this "game". Unlike the majority of RPG Maker asset flips, this uses sci-fi assets that someone else made instead of the typical fantasy assets that someone else made. There's a few simple boolean logic puzzles that do very little to make this asset flip any better than the rest. Don't take my word for it, though…5 found this helpful
I recognize most of the scenes in the preview and I've only played the game 6 minutes. Not excactly a good sign. I wasn't hooked at all, the combat and puzzle mechanics that were implemented felt unsatisfying. A lot of RPGMaker games are simply massproduced to try get as much money without making even a semi-decent game and this feels exactly like the case here.2 found this helpful
Cool premise, setting, and overall aesthetic that will appeal to computer and tech nerds. Level design is a little empty looking but considering the setting, it doesn't ruin the game.
