The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante

Do you like making decisions only for them to not matter in the end? Neither do I.

Got this game for free as part of the Prince Jerian promotion. If I were summarize the reason I gave it thumbs dumb with one word it would be "disappointment". The first three chapters were really fun as you get to know the characters and worldbuilding. Starting with the 4th chapter things started to change. The game feels poorly balanced and many choices can require multiple stats/relations. In the 5th chapter you can barely do anything as most decisions requires 3+ stats/relations/destinies. It's too much and feels poorly balanced which leads to frustration. The funny thing is they already have almost the perfect system to mitigate this: Willpower. If they just let you spend a proportional amount Willpower to overcome stat or relationship deficiency the game would feel so much smoother. Disappointed by the potential of the game and such interesting worldbuilding just went to waste.

Честно прошёл игру один раз. В недостатки ей приписывают отсутствие реальной возможности отыгрывать по-настоящему того человека, которого ты хочешь, я не могу с этим согласиться. Принимая решения, ты неизбежно сталкиваешься с их последствиями. И да, последствия некоторых твоих решений - это не приобретение или утрата, а неприступная холодная стена невозможности прожить в сложившихся обстоятельствах именно так, как бы ты этого хотел, прямо как в жизни. Безусловно, можно списать это игре в упущение, но я не буду и не хочу. Просто так получилось, что на избранном мной в прохождении жизненном пути не получиться поступать каждый раз так, как я хочу, приходится, собственно, страдать. Сильнее всего история раскрывается в третьем акте - самом длинном. Я прошёл его с, наверное, шестого раза, потому что-то постоянно упускал, чего-то мне постоянно не хватало, и вместе с очевидными фрустрацией и горящей жonoй, я принимал и понимал, что доведённый мной в эту жизненную точку Господин Бранте, тяготимый исходом каждого поворота на своём жизненном пути, он на полном ходу врезается в ту самую стену, и дальше пройти он бы смог, поступи иначе. Большую часть третьего акта мои глаза лезли из орбит от п…

When there's a worldbuilding, I always love to do some thought experiments. In a world where the creator god still here and communicates with people, and even answers prayers. What would a world like that actually be like? Better than ours, or worse? In such, we would no longer need to search for meaning. We would only need to discover and fulfill the meaning assigned to us. We would be assigned to a mission and a destination. But does that mean we are also completely deprived of freedom? And does that mean all the suffering and pain are god's will that you shouldn’t fight against? Should people even think since the god is talking and commanding us continuously? Those on and on questions accompanied me lying in bed before sleep, quite a pleasant thing. Anyway, just glad to see a setting like this. To me, whatever makes people think is good. And this worldbuilding made me think a lot
