Vengeful Heart

It's so tremendously stupid. Bloody and boring. Painfull to read. Protagonist erratic. Tenders are wusses. The story trivial. The world unhinged. And everyone braindead. There are some good marks, but they lose on point.

Vengeful Heart is a game that will unveil your activism side. If I were in charge of something, I would make it mandatory for people to play this game. Half joke aside, I still believe people should learn how they should be striving to fight for their basic human rights. Strong shelter, healthy foods, healthcare, safe transport, all of these and more should be affordable and easily attainable to everyone to live a productive and happy life. I'm sure we can agree on this. Yes, well, now imagine if water costs more than you rent. Do you feel angry, confused, shocked or all of the above? Well, this is where you need to play Vengeful Heart to find out how people fight and stick it up to the corporation that tries to take it away from them. There are a lot of powerful moments in this game that resonate with me. The music doesn't help stop me from going to tears, I was already on my knees from the brutality of the first chapter. I'm surprised how graphically gruesome the texts were when displaying action, despite not showing all of them visually, I can still imagine how it happened, even when I don't want to. I love the colour palette choice. It gives you a tinted, comforting feel, hi…

technically i have complex thoughts about why i like this game but its cool and it looks cool and sounds cool and u should check it out <3

my first (mostly) kinetic novel and honestly I'm not sure I'm really into it as a medium, but like, still: vengeful heart rocks the best element is the writing. it tackles topics that are huge, and it executes on them so well because it keeps them grounded—either in the characters or the surprisingly detailed world building the characters in particular are great. all of them matter so much to both the immediate plot, and to the broader themes of the stories. the writing consistently takes great care in treating them as complex people, even unnamed characters who don't get their own sprite. amidst the mobs, the crowds, the boardrooms is a persistent reminder that these groups are still made up of individuals, and that matters despite the story's scale the visual and musical art direction is sublime. even as experiencing this story got super (appropriately) dark and dismal, the aesthetic experience kept me focused and going. and like, none of us get to really choose our hellscapes, but if the one I'm assigned could develop this color palette, I would be into it I initially had mixed feelings about the main crossroads moment in the experience, and though not all of them are resolv…

It is very good. Lovely pixel art graphics and honest representation of unfettered and unregulated capitalism that Republicans in the US are trying their l damndest to bring about. The elite class vs. the peasants who will have nothing and like it.

fantastic read. love that the most stressful and nailbiting game i've played in a long while is an almost entirely kinetic novel.
