It's very intresting VN that uses the elements of analog horror to it's advantage. And I mean really this is first time when I saw somebody actually making a hyper link in one of those.
In terms of story, it's kinda cliche but you had used it just as an background to decision making, which is also good by me.
Over all nice little game.
It's good horror. It takes pretty much no time at giving you reason to feel endangered, and the feeling of dreed keep only growing while each second passing and one begin to get's the idea what exacly is happening.
The only things that keeps it from being in my opinion perfect expierience is limitation (Kind vague questions to player and complete lack of player interaction.) that was set by jam this game was submmitted to. As after playing I was left with lack of closure, like the story stoped as it was pretty much as it started.
So I conclusion it's good short horror. Sure is creepy and all, but really feels more like a demo or set up to something bigger than stand alone title.
Nah, I would not say I "dislike" any of them, in fact it was pretty nice expirience so far (exen when I was pretty tired of seeing the same story for the 3 time and started to adding "fucking" before every noun... quite fitting to arc 3 accually). I just see who they are and what direction they are going. But the roads of life one can go in two ways, never to late to give up on things not worth the trouble, go back a little and change things for better. Ok maybe except Iggy he killed the flower, the only sense speaking guy in the story, for that he needs to pay In blood or in deeds and for that I look forwards.
Do not read if you have not played.
Seriously...
Well, they are fucked up. Like really fucked up and multiplieded by 1000 thanks to this realm feading their most distorted drives both created by this white haired moron. It is imposible to cure those wounds by now, and by what I belive the only resort is to amputate most of it and go for the little what is left. And by that I mean:
-The blind jackass who cannot give up on past and because of what he is ruining lives of weakers by feasting on their suffering. Numb to any pain, util it is his own, yet the second most blind.
-An egocentric weakling, a mess in every aspect. Who dream of power and success by which he has become mad, soon felt to monstrous acts.
-Unfit mother and wife that was not ready for said responsibility. Draged into this by someone who was just prettending a friend who know who she was, but in the end he knew ass.
-The girl that shaped her body and mind around a person that was not worth it, destroying everything until there was nothing left of her but a husk of once beautiful person, trying to be something that she is not and part that she is not meant to be. I pity this one the most.
-And the last the catalyst of all, who could have prevent this all form happening but instead he ignore all the consequences and marched forward, stomping on those who he called friends, blind to their needs. The failure that spoke when he were suppose to be silent, an Imbecile who said nothing when he were suppose to, an Idiot that laid back in the time of need, an moron who pushed people to their worst.
Pick your poison is it not? None of those can be "fixed", none can be helped, none can be trully saved. Unless the child is yet not gone, but I doubt it... We were shown all by now, guilt and regrets of the one who is guilty, the love between the two abusers, obsession and the madness of the abused!, the mangled reality of way towards perfection. So what now? Give us a choice that lead to "Happy ending"?!
Welp we will see.
This was one of the worst games that I played in a long time. Every 'puzzle' given was complete mystery without any hits, that soliving felt like dumbster diving for a spoon after you by mistake throw it with rotten leftovers in complete dark. The characters, made me bash my head into a wall after just having a thought of them spitting another bar of cinge talk. The story, I do not want to talk bout it, I do not want to think bout this mess. I am done.
I enjoyed it.
The fact that the countdown did not matter was intresting, it felt like an old law that has been abandoned for centuries and now it only exist in the mind of few who decide to folow and live by it. But if that the case then question appeared, why to limit yourself. Do people would gain wisdom or become more humble by doing so? Maybe listening to the world and quiet down yourself is the way of having a happy life, I have not heard mute people complaining by it, but it does not mean much.
But hey maybe there is something more in that story of, what was it pomegranate? Yea I thing it was all about that, I hope that we will live to hear it.
