| 78 | 232430 | 24587424 | [h1]Walking simulator, too short for the money[/h1] [b]NOTE: If you're looking at reviews cause you saw spoilers to the plot, then you probably decided you want to get it already. In that case, at least wait until it goes on sale[/b] The game designers bill this as a "Story exploration video game" (see trailer), I'd call it a 1-2 hour walking simulator with a few puzzles thrown in, so don't expect a typical puzzle/adventure game Story: Some people will think it is utterly fantastic, some will be disappointed -- not much middle ground here. The premise is that you arrive home from a year abroad expecting to meet your parents and sister at your house, but no one seems to be there... Atmosphere and graphics: very good, they hit all sorts of 90's references very well. A few years ago this game defined what "walking simulators" are. Puzzles: I felt there were too few of them for the price of the game. Again, this is a walking simulator. If you are expecting a puzzle game you will be disappointed. Length: a few hours, a little more if you want to solve and explore everything. Apparently you can speedrun this in a few minutes, if the achievements can be believed. Call it a very nice 90's-era walking simulator with an interesting backstory and a little bit of puzzles thrown in. If you are looking for a puzzle game, don't pay more than a few dollars for it, maybe $5 if you're really into 90's America references or you want to take a chance on a game with no pre-conceived notions on what the plot is going to be. If you are really looking for a walking simulator, then you probably would enjoy it more (but I still can't see paying anywhere near full price). On the bright side, this title goes on sale periodically, so if you are patient you can get it cheaply. | 2021-03-14T05:52:07.834418 | 1 | 1 |
