Void And Meddler

Just gonna rewatch edgerunners instead of playing this.

Two episodes of a three episode story that will never have the final episode to tell us what was actually going on.... I like a weird unique story but this isnt even a story, it is going around doing a bunch of random things and hoping that something eventually makes sense, but it never does. Do not waste your time. I wish I hadn't.

I've played and enjoyed a few point-and-click games before, but this really wasn't for me. It was confusing and felt incredibly unfinished. For Episode 1, there are three paths across two acts. These acts are short and felt like they ended abruptly, only for accumulated items to be lost for the next act. I'm the type to explore everything a game has to offer and happy to take my time, but the issue is that I still felt that the majority of my playthrough felt hollow. I got the alt path on my first run and finished wondering what happened. The gameplay here is its biggest flaw. You walk back and forth between the same locations - hindered by a slow walking speed (you can run in some areas, but it isn't enough) - hoping your character agrees to do what you want/you do things in the specific order the game wants. I found that I explored each area, only to exhaust everything and have to move on to another place before getting the object/interaction needed to progress and having to go back. These things felt inconsistent and sometimes just trial and error. The dialogue is both pseudo-philosophical and nihilistic, but mostly waffle - it's not a great start when the opening lost me. …

Moon logic strikes again, but this time it goes out of its way to give you a scolding when trying the wrong solutions too many times. Wish I never bought this rubbish.

It took me a couple of years to finish the game properly a lot of happened in my life. I think it's a pretty depressive game about loss of self, that's why Fyn is such an edgy misanthropic person she lives in a world where memories is something that you can buy anywhere and she is lost here without anything, I would be probably the same as her - depressed and angry. Visually the game is so gorgeus and OST now will be in my player for a long time. I find unfinished status of the game adds some irony to the story of the game as Fyn is lost in trying to find herself I'm feeling lost with that ending it adds that feel of emptiness and sadness. It is sad that the game is unfinished and removed from the store, that's why I see some sense to write a review about this sad unfinished gem. We all been there where we stopped doing something and couldn't finish it.

Promising but ultimately bland and forgettable. VirtuaVerse is not perfect but is a much better pixelated cyberpunk adventure game: go play that instead.
