Soul Tolerance: Prologue

Finished Soul Tolerance: Prologue and I liked it. Strangely enough, I had just finished a novel where robots ruled the world and humans were no more. And the robots, who were built by humans, seem to be falling into the same traps and failings that their makers did. How very sad in a way. I liked the story very much and the beautifully dreary city of Sapporo. There is one save slot and you can save to it any time. Gameplay for the most part was fun. It is very story heavy with fetch quests and exploration of a nice sized city. However, you’re playing along and then suddenly you have timed puzzles to solve! They aren’t terribly difficult but would be a lot easier with out a big timer counting down in front of your face while trying to solve them! Got the slider and wire connections puzzles on the second tries, but there was a copy the figure puzzle that suddenly switched views that drove me a little crazy, but eventually I got it. A skip for people that don’t solve well under a ticking timer would have been a nice addition. The last part of the game had a fetch quest that entailed combing the city map again and I found it a bit tedious. There is fast travel to major q…

3/10 walk around a small city and talk to everybody + looks top quality for a voxel game - mostly a walking sim - the most basic puzzles - puzzle is broken - not much content here at all https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3592114905

Game looks cool unfortunately a puzzle to unlock the way forward very early on seems bugged, I've completed the puzzle with plenty of time to spare many times but never unlock. Seems many people have encountered this, recommend waiting and seeing if a fix is released as currently you can't progress pass this puzzle

Basically just a two hour long demo. I didn't expect a lot and was positively surprised by the world-building, quality of the dialogues and morally dilemmas I had to solve. And the ending made me feel like a bad person, which is always a good thing. My biggest complain is that this game should be free since it still is only one chapter long (that way, it would definitely get more audience too).

The story is interesting, finding the solutions can feel a bit tedious. Feels great to finish it! Not quite what I expected. It was very information/memory focused.
