left me genuinely confused — in the most intentional way. I’m not entirely sure what I saw or what exactly happened. The story is extremely abstract, highly artistic, and completely detached from traditional narrative expectations. This is not a game that explains itself or tries to be comfortable. It’s more of an experience than a story, and whether you like it or not depends entirely on how open you are to something strange and unconventional. I don’t know what to say — and that might actually be the point.2 found this helpful
Don't be fooled by the AVERAGE "very positive" reviews. I've played my fair share of FMV games but this one not even 10 minutes into the game takes the cake of pure torture. Why do I feel like this would have been used during CIA interrogation sessions. The math quiz alone so help me GLOB doesn't make any sense to me. Tell me visualize with candy in front of you, if you have 10 pieces of candy and you take 4 away how many do you have 6. Yes 6. But the game only gives you answers that aren't the answer. Of course after you keep losing the math quiz the answers get worse. The development in this game is so lazy, why even bother doing an english translation if the sentences and grammar are terrible. The first action scenes, you have us observe a birth or adoption certificate on a A frame but don't even bother putting a brief translation on screen. Its not difficult. Yes you're going to see terrible DIV tag scenarios where text doesn't wrap. I guessed on optional answers because the wording went straight off the screen.1 found this helpful
The story feels a bit weird, but the biggest issue is the subtitles. They often don't work, and some scenes don't have subtitles at all. Finishing the game is also confusing. I managed to unlock 3 out of 5 endings, but there is little to no guidance on how to get the others. The publisher should add some hints. The Q&A mini-game is frustrating and seems impossible to complete 100%. Overall, the game needs a lot of fixes and polish.
Interesting... o.o Is it a localized example of events happening in China during the "Idiocracy" movie? That's how it feels to me. o.o My main issues are the lack of translation on the black "title card" screens, and how random and aimless the whole thing feels... but the creator and actors definitely seem to be going for a more artistic film project than the usual VN/FMV experience...
I played a lot of games like this and it it one of the worst if not the worst. You basically just look at a video descisions don't really matter and the plot is pure brain rot. Like others write you're a grown man being adopted by two women and one thinks she's a man. There are so many cuts nothing makes sense it's a fever dream nightmare.
feels like a voight kampff test
