I enjoyed what I played of Vainly! It's definitely more of experience than a game but its message is well communicated if your along for the ride. I think the game is quite linear for better or for worse, I think for the story it wants to communicate its linear structure does make sense. The game has a charming sense of humor, stuff like running into a prisoner who's playing the sound track or the game saying it shouldn't be played is quite charming. Overall Vainly is a charming experience that leans into its philosophic roots and succeeds at doing so! I think the best lens to view the experience is as a expression of absurdism.2 found this helpful
short platforming game with an interesting story, worth playing if u enjoy short experiences
The story telling in this game is beyond amazing, I felt like I can almost relate to the main character as he gets bullied, but finds a way to take revenge and show he's stronger. I def recommend you do a play through as the dev clearly has put in ALOT of work and I am very impressed.
wowwwwwwwww It was the second time I played this exciting game. I enjoyed more than the first time and I am so eager to play again and again. The Mania Room level and also the Sophisticated City level were the best and the most challenging. The music was so beautiful and appropriate with each level. In overall this game was great. You can find many deep details behind its cute appearance and it makes this game unique. Buy it, play it and make your day full of enjoy.
