May Assassination #1 (SG Win)

Please consider liking my review on Steam - it means a lot to me!

Venba is one of the closest things you have to a movie, but in videogame form. It's a short visual novel (~1h) that has a few single screen puzzles scattered throughout that you can't fail.

Narrative wise, it's great. It looks great with its distinctive artstyle, and it sounds great with its banger soundtrack, althought I can't help but imagine how awesome voice acting would be here to differentiate between English and Tamil. The plot is very personal, a bit forced, and feels very rushed -- pacing-wise, the game flies by, in my opinion even a bit too fast.

The puzzles are what they are, nothing grating but also nothing great. Do I think the game is worth $14.99? No. But for a third of that price, there are worse ways to spend an hour doing something.
