The Island: Into The Mist

To start off, I first purchased this game just as a way to practice and improve my Korean. But after playing the game now for over 26 hours, and getting 100% completion with every ending, I have to say that it was also an extremely enjoyable ride. Throughout the game and its many story lines I feel like I became good friends with every character in this game (except 배일수. I hate you, 배일수.) There are plenty of twists and turns that will keep you interested, even after you've already completed one or more of the endings. Even the bad endings were entertaining to complete, at least just to see how the characters reacted to new situations. I'm a bit sad now that I won't be able to hang out with my friends anymore. I'm also a bit sad that the endings were explained only in text (I would've liked to have seen visuals for some of those). Overall, it was a fun game that I'd recommend to anyone, whether you're trying to improve your Korean or not. Also, if the game company were to release 세한's indestructible phone case (which he dropped at least over 9,000 times), I would buy that in a second. As for the artwork, some of the scenes felt like they were really rushed, while others were…

This game has currently mixed reviews on steam and that is exactly how I feel about it. But if I am asked if i would recommend this game, then no, I wouldn't. So this is Korean game, and it also started in Korean and I had to blindly click thru menus to find settings and change language to English. The translation is rough, it is readable but its not the silky smooth translation I am used to from Japanese VNs. On top of it, there are even typos in names of locations sometimes. So this is story about group of university students, who end up on wrong island and their fun trip goes horribly wrong. The story is good and exciting, it is the game play that is bringing this game down. At first it is purely visual novel with some investigation scenes that are easy to solve. But later the investigation scenes turns into pure pixel hunting where you literally have to keep clicking everything and everywhere because the solution is shadow under cupboard and similar stuff. Also the game will start giving you bad ends for choices you made like halfway thru the game. In the end I gave up when the game gave me bad end for something I did so far back that I didn't even have save that old. The fac…

[b] Personal thoughts[/b]: Good game, very satisfied with the full voice acting and character design, potential gameplay to explore, yet at the same time there's a tid bit features that can really be improved to make this game more worth it. The premise is more to survival than it is to mystery, so don't expect to find an epic plot twist here, they're all pretty linear.[spoiler] No battle royale, no big discoveries such as human or government experiment either.[/spoiler] [b] PROS[/b]: + Using comic format to tell a prologue. + Full voice acting, which actually match their characters. + Beautifully-drawn character sprites, despite in black-and-white + Interactive gameplay which affects storyline: [i]Investigation & Tuning In[/i] + Quite a few endings to hunt, which means different variations of the story. + Paying around $5 here and finished the game with a good ending in 2-3 hours. At first I was surprised with how short it ended, but I decided to replay, and am now on hour 6th and still looking for the endings. I guess it's a so-so between the price and playtime. + Flowchart system which allows you to jump into scene without having to replay everything, BUT... (see last point o…

The Island: Into The Mist is not a game, it's a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure 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?". Although in fairness there's a few small "point and click" adventure sections... which are much, much worse than the E-book part, and make the whole experience terrible. So there's that. To answer that question: 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 E-book features Choose-Your-Own-Adventure elements where you make some decisions that don't do anything to change the fact this is just an E-Book. Nobody finished reading a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book and said "Boy, what a great game I just played!". Because E-books aren't games. And neither is this. This Choose-Your-Own-Adventure E-book is extremely badly translated from Korean, in fact…
