We Are OFK

[h1]I think the game is [i]good[/i] overall!![/h1] [h3]It's something more like a [b]short TV series thingy[/b] than a [u]game[/u] so keep it in mind![/h3] In my opinion the story is good. I think it could be paced a little bit better in some moments though. I love all the songs, and their visuals in game like damnnn... The only thing I did not like is the last episode, I feel like it's kind of rushed and the last song's "gameplay" is... I dont even know what to call it

Kanoa Ranks: 7/10 100% Achievement: 10 Hours If you’re a fan of visual novels, queer stories, or indie music culture, this one’s worth your time — especially on sale. WARNING: We Are OFK is less of a game and more of a vaguely interactive episodic cartoon?? You jump between characters navigating creative careers in LA, and the only real input you have is choosing dialogue options over text. Those choices have essentially zero impact on the story until the very last chapter, where they matter slightly for achievements. One path, no branching but it’s a nice enough story that it mostly doesn’t bother you. The texting feature is genuinely charming and feels very human. Every character has a distinct voice, and the writing overall is funny, witty, and current. Voice acting is strong across the board. I kept wondering if this is based on a true story, like the developers made a game about how they actually formed their band? It has that energy. As a young queer songwriter/producer, I related to Luca a lot. Inspiring and oddly relatable. The representation is incredible and handled naturally, and the accessibility settings are thorough. The art style is beautiful, it reminds me of Age…

I'm glad i gave this game a try. I was having a breakdown and this game is just what i need <3

[b]it's more of an interactive show than a game[/b], the choices dont really matter and just serve to see different things the characters think and can say in certain situations some pros? - the subplots of each character have themes about their own worth, grief, fear over not making it in their dream career, letting go of relationships, and more. even if the basic plot is "young adult has problems, makes bad decisions, eventually tries their best to fix their mistakes", each character gives it a personal twist, it's not as simple as it looks and all of them have thought and care put into them. - none of the characters are perfect. but how is this a pro? well, they all get humbled at least once. and it helps them grow. they feel very realistic in the sense of them acting like *real* people would, even when they're selfish and hypocritical. - the art direction is very unique, i love how minimalistic(?) the models look and the character designs are so cool!! - at the end of each episode there's a song (related to what happened in the episode) with an interactive music video. both the lyrics and visuals feel very like the characters themselves, and this is purely based on vibes but i…

This is more of an artistic experience than it is a game, but that by no means is a negative. The characters are likable and often quite relatable with how they behave and develop. The sound design and music are clearly a major focus, and they hit this one out of the park. If you're looking for something that isn't super intense, this is a great option. I'd love to see another experience from these devs in the future, whatever form that may take!

Honestly, sometimes you need a pick me up and granted there aren't alot of actual game play elements to the game but I found myself in love with the characters. I wish the game was longer though truly, I wish we got to experience more of their individual stories and had more influence over the outcome. But regaredless of those short comings the game is fun, and I truly love mommy jey <3
