Walking Simulator with a bit of story.

"Do that, go there, pick up that", yeah cool, not the type of game i hoped for.
I got that its gonna be a bit of walking, but Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Christ you can cut this game to prolly 2h if you don't include the actual gameplay which is a collection of annoying side quest and don't add near nothing to the main story.

The premise of the story gets really interesting in the first 2 chapters, afterwards the idea of the game and what the story might be is really cool, but you're bored out of your mind.
The actual side quest are also nothing to be excited about. "Answer 5 question and you get a Y" HELL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NAW. THIS IS THE TYPE OF ♥♥♥♥ YOU DECIDED WAS WORTH MY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TIME LIKE IMMA IN THE "WHO IS GONNA BE MILLIONAIRE" TYPE SHOW WITH THE REWARD BEING A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Y???
I haven't finished this game and will not finish this, i might find a walkthrough on YouTube and skip all the annoying parts.

It's honestly really sad that this game is so full with nothing. Nothing to explore (no random ass caps or the yoman thingy don't count, I couldn't give less of a ♥♥♥♥ about this) Nothing about the actually cool combat system.

Overall A "In Theory a masterpiece, in reality a snoozepiece"/10

I can't even explain why I played this for 7 hours... it’s a fetching simulator and you do nothing else but running around. The game explicitly tells you what to do at every stage. There are some nice emotional touches here and there, but really nothing to justify the reputation or rating this game has.

"Help Yourself."가 "스스로를 도우세요" -> "알아서 즐기세요, 편하게 계세요" 로 번역되는 데에는 그런 의미가 있다.
어떤 끔찍한 경험을 가지고 있더라도, 결국 마지막까지 자신을 사랑해야할 사람은 자기자신이며, 이 사랑을 떼어놓으면 정말 큰일이 생긴다. 물론 주변에 정말 그런 끔찍한 경험을 가지고 있는 사람이 없는지, 한번 쯤 돌아보고 주변인을 챙기면서 서로 연결된 삶을 살아나가야 하는 것이 필요하다는 것이 게임의 메세지라면 메세지일듯.
타인을 괴롭히지 말고, 스스로를 괴롭히지 말자.

하지만 게임플레이는 너무 따분했다. 뺑뺑이 도는 것 싫어하고 미리미리 챙기는 것 좋아하는데, 미리미리 챙기지 못하게 해놓았고 강제로 뺑뺑이 돌게 만들어놨다.
퍼즐도 너무 쉽다. 몇 개의 퍼즐은 무조건적인 구글링을 필요로 해야했던 것을 제외하면 (아니 인도네시아의 두번째 부통령을 어떻게 아나...) 나머지 퍼즐은 그냥 뺑뺑이를 돌아야 했었던 것이지, 난이도는 EZ했다. 퍼즐에서는 큰 고민을 하지 않은 듯 하다.
아트워크는 괜찮게 따분했다. 비주얼라이제이션은 도트그래픽 감성인데 신선하진 않고 그냥 즐길순 있을느낌. 게임음악은 아주 그냥 딱 멜로딕한, 그때그때 분위기에 맞는 음악들 넣은 느낌.

전체적으로 요약하면, 메세지만 머릿속에 어느정도 남고 크게 게임성은 남지 않았던 느낌이다. 이 두 손으로 뭘 했는지 모르겠다.

I don't want to do Math problems in chapter 4, I've been through enough already!
The pacing of the story is so damn slow, I'm a patient player which makes it even worse.
There are only a few decent Space Dive levels, and there is so much filler in the game.
I hope you like being confused and lost at the same time, solving puzzles is a chore to do.
This game doesn't respect your time and your money spent on it. What a letdown...

I would recommend it but not for the price. I found this challenging to enjoy due to its overwhelming reliance on fetch quests and a slow-paced gameplay experience. While the narrative intrigued me, it wasn't sufficient to sustain my interest amid repetitive tasks. The game's potential could be significantly improved by diversifying quests and addressing the pacing issues. Ultimately, my curiosity about the story wasn't enough to keep me engaged, resulting in a less-than-enthusiastic gaming experience.

I wanted to love this game. The artwork, music, and premise are all compelling, and the intro is great. Unfortunately, the game is completely bogged down by pointless fetch quests and half-hearted puzzles that both bloat the overall gameplay and distract from the main plot. It could have easily been a sweet and powerful 3-5 hours experience. Instead, I found myself anxious for it all to end, as I finished the game without much care or attachment to the narrative or the characters involved.

Mojiken's New Game: Hype High, Delivery...Not So Much

Okay, Mojiken fans, gather 'round. Let's talk about their latest release, shall we? I jumped on this bandwagon the week it dropped (i think), fueled by Mojiken magic from past games. I was hyped, picture me bouncing off the walls like a caffeinated chihuahua. The art? Gorgeous. The music? Banging. The whole vibe? Perfection personified. I was ready to devour this game whole.

And devour I did...the first few minutes, anyway. But then, I hit a snag. It wasn't the gameplay (though let's be honest, it wasn't exactly groundbreaking). It was the dialogue. Oh, the dialogue. Longwinded monologues that felt like reading Tolstoy after chugging five espressos. The structure? Wonky in both English and Bahasa, like a sentence got lost in Google Translate and returned wearing clown shoes.

Look, I tried. I switched languages like a frantic tourist, hoping one would click. I pushed through, fueled by my initial excitement and a desperate hope for redemption. But alas, the dialogue was a dragon I couldn't slay. It just kept droning on, sucking the joy out of the game like a Dementor with a thesaurus.

So, I tapped out right around the time Atma woke up in the school and started chatting with Raya. Dialogue coma, I tell you. Maybe someday, when the Baldur's Gate itch is scratched, the Valorant dailies are done, and Skyrim's frozen wastes have lost their allure, and the lure of taming cute yet deadly beasties in Palworld has faded, I'll give this Mojiken gem another go. Who knows, maybe with fresh eyes and a pot of strong tea, I'll unlock the secrets of its wordy world. Until then, it slumbers on my backlog shelf, a beautiful mystery waiting to be unraveled. And mark my words, if that day ever comes and the game redeems itself in my eyes, I promise I'll be back to rewrite this review with a chorus of praise. Until then, consider this a placeholder, a testament to my ever-growing backlog and the ever-present hope that hidden gems still await discovery.

This sci-fi slice-of-life story is well told and features some fascinating twists as it weaves its deeply personal narrative. Still, the simplistic adventure-game design holds it back from an earnest recommendation.

I really wanted to enjoy it as the story seems intriguing enough, and all the reviews talk about how amazing it is, but god the gameplay is so insanely boring. Its just running back and forth to the same places over and over, basically endless fetch quests. Except every fetch quest will require another fetch quest to get that item. I loved the artwork but after running down the same street over and over it gets old.

Repetitivo e cansativo. Não terminei o jogo.
