Oh my goddddd I knew this wouldn’t be worth it when I saw abysmal ratings on vndb and they were riiiight.
Let me use an illustrative example. Please direct your eyes to the image above. See how the title of the game is written in a deliberately cockeyed and confusing way, for no apparent reason? The readability is disrupted and it’s just goofy and poorly thought out?
Yeah, that’s this game.
It’s bad. Not even good bad. Bad bad. The-skip-button-doesn’t-work-bad. These-art-assets-are-almost-certainly-shop-bought bad. The-writing-is-plodding-and-unwieldy-like-a-toddler-holding-a-zweihander bad. Having-representation-but-in-the-most-unnuanced-of-ways bad.
I’d recount the plot but even that is too much fucking effort for this game. There are a ton of bullshit ‘routes’, but they are nearly identical except for a different sprite, name, and a handful of personal lines. Avoid avoid avoid!
Next up: Madison told me to press on and be not afraid of RNGesus. Let’s see which one of them is more intimidating…
See you soon!
I already had a bad feeling when I saw that terrible, terrible logo in your last update.
I should’ve took it as a sign…
Actually, you know, I have SO much shit on my wishlist, this is inspiring me to go back through it again and REALLY cull games that I’m pretty :/ about playing. I’ve slowly been allowing myself some ‘+1’s on there, but really at this rate I need to be kinder to myself. I don’t need those +1s!
Final Theosis is the Final Straw!
At least they have eyes again!
On a more serious note: Good luck with your next game, I hope it’s better :)
God, I’m a mess. I’m a flurry of posts, relentlessly chopping through my backlog, but at least I got ol’ Vito out here keepin’ track of eyeballs for me.
It was… pretty okay!
Damn, I still have Final Theosis in my backlog! Seems that’s a good moment to push it back as far as I can.
As for Samantha Browne, I enjoyed it. A small adventure :) It seems RNGesus ain’t lettin’ ya off the hook quite yet.
Oh yes. Have that be the last game you ever play out of your backlog. If it IS the last game in your backlog, buy a few more games and play those.
And you’re riiiiight, it’s nooooot. I’ve finished the game already <:C (though the review will come later in the afternoon, after work). RNGesus pleeeeaaaaase
No worries, I’ve got so many games I think I’ll forget about it soon enough and only play it when I’m close to graduating uni or something like that, lol.
How about this explanation then… RNGesus felt my presence shortly before I started posting again and now it makes you post continuously for my enjoyment. mwahahaha
