really interesting! a solemn, deep experience that leaves you with a sense of permeating dread---a game that serves as an extended metaphor for mental illness. kinda has a pilotredsun feel with the art and sense of dread---great job!!
A visual novel where you talk to yourself... definitely different from anything I've experienced before.
It has all the good qualities I'd find in a YNFG, an abstract art style that sets the tone well and puts you into the perspective of how your character sees the world, and a simple but effective accompanying soundtrack that further sets the tone. I can tell there is a lot of passion put into this game despite it being short, it has enough art for its runtime and some nice ambient tracks plus more deranged ones that wrap up the presentation, delivering a sense of discomfort, dread, and sparse comfort that the game was trying to pull off.
I especially like the "BR3A7H3 FOR 3, 3XHAL3 FOR 7" track in the files, again all the songs give me YNFG vibes, which is really great.
I only wish the game was longer, we don't get enough time with the character or really get to see him pull himself out of his despair, so I hope eventually the game gets expanded in the future.
And for the record, I thought the GPS joke was okay (the awkward silence afterwards was way funnier though)
You don't see a lot of games that really touch on this type of subject, and I think you did it rather tastefully. I wish we'd had more of an option to be supportive, but I totally understand the situation of the game and why that may not make sense given the character driven nature of the game. It's good.
A great game with some difficult topics within. I really enjoyed the story if the game and the endings you could end up with and most importantly found something interesting in the constant loop in the characters life.
The art style is intriguing and fitting to the story and is well displayed along with the story. I found the dark themes of both the art and story very beautiful in their own way and that they complemented each other perfectly. The music felt fitting to the topic and helped with keeping you in that loop feeling the protagonist felt most of the time.
I also enjoyed the different voices and languages as it gave some background characters a bit more emphasis instead of being ignored but also more insight to the protagonist and how he views everyone around him
I would like to have seen a bit more of a happy ending or at least an alteration of it to mae it more of a happy ending.
I've played a lot of games but games who actually talk about mental health problems are rare. AND THIS GAME ACTUALLY DEPICTED HOW MY BRAIN WORKS.... i just.. damn it's actually really good
had great sound effect... text effects were great too.. and the artwork? great.
BUT
here's some things you can improve:
UI
I mean when you were editing the gui file, you forgot a few things so when i open the about page or the preference page or any other page from the main menu before starting the game, the texts overlap themselves... lemme just give you some screenshots.
you see, I think you kinda forgot to put things properly and messed it up....
whenever a new player will play this game, most people would just go to the about section and read it. your about section had nothing. You can improve your game by giving it a good about section too...
besides that, great game man. would love to see more in the future
