I like Chilla's Art, but I expected better this time.

Recently I played 2 Chilla's Art games, The Convenience Store gets more interesting as the chapters pass. Sometimes you must do job tasks, it adds realism to the narrative. I wish it had more voiced dialogues, but it's good. The other game is The Radio Station. A very interesting investigation, but we must drive all the time and the car controls are awful. On the other hand the dialogues are dubbed and the story is cool.

The Closing Shift thankfully has no driving, we click on the car and skip to the next place. But the dialogues are only texted again, that's a downgrade for a game that is newer. And they could've made the coffee and food more simple to make and serve, as part of the narrative, but the complexity makes it boring.

I love Japan, ghost horrors and indies. But I'm asking for a refund. I hope Chilla's Art keeps bringing great games with more voiced dialogues, shorter narrative daily tasks and stay scary.

Chilla's games are a really mixed bag for me. I do appreciate that they try different situation/story every time and that's what keeps me picking these up. Just bought the Closing Shift and it looked like a continuation of The Convenience Store (which I liked a good bit) in its theme. Haven't started it up yet though. Hope to after I finish a few more things in Call of the Sea.

The Convenience Store like you mentioned had a consistently increasing dread to it. I like the injection of everyday work tasks into their game. It seems like it was glitchy for quite a few people (me included) but Night Delivery was up there with my favorites of their games as well.

I enjoyed the Radio Station and didn't expect to. The small open world exploration and story kept me along though you won't hear an argument out of me...the driving was bad, bad, bad and more bad!

I've found I don't like any Chilla's games thus far with a major threat which is why I haven't played Night Way Home yet (don't own this one) or The Caregiver (I've got it and going to bite the bullet soon). I thought the chase mechanics in Inunaki Tunnel and Ghost Train (somehow I froze into place and couldn't run and got killed my first playthrough...got stuck on the door second playthrough).

Going to give this one a test run tonight and see what I think.

More times than not, the game wont allow me to place things. Someone asks for a drink with blended ice, game refuses to allow me to put the ice in the blender. Bugged game, but no one else has this issue which is frustrating considering I can't find a solution anywhere online because it appears that no one has encountered this bug.
