Keane - Somewhere Only We Know

I played across a wondrous land
I knew the game's quest like the back of my hand
I felt the magic beneath my mouse click
Joined with the characters, it was quite a neat trick
Oh, charming game, where have you been?
You whisked me away from the daily routine
So, tell me when you'll let me explore more
I'm getting eager, and I need to explore

I found a tale of two friends so true
A girl and a robot, their adventures grew
Is this the game that I've been dreaming of?
A world so enchanting, full of joy and love

Oh, heartwarming game, where have you been?
You made me smile, like a sunbeam
So, tell me when you'll let me dive back in
I'm eager to continue this whimsical spin

And if you have a moment, let's jump right in
Explore a world where only we win
This could be the start of endless fun
So, why don't we play until we've won?
Until we've won
Oh, magical game, you've won my heart
With every challenge and every part
So, why don't we play some more?
I'll cherish this world forevermore

This could be the start of endless fun
So, why don't we play until we've won?
Until we've won
Until we've won
Ah, oh
Oh, magical game, you've won my heart
With every challenge and every part
So, why don't we play some more?
I'll cherish this world forevermore
Forevermore
Forevermore

[Scene: The Banks family living room. Will, Carlton, Hilary, Ashley, and Vivian are sitting on the couch while Geoffrey stands nearby. The room is filled with excitement as they're about to play a new video game.]

Will: Alright, y'all ready for some gaming action?

Carlton: Absolutely! I've been waiting for this all week.

Hilary: I hope it's as fabulous as my new manicure.

Ashley: I can't wait to beat all of you!

Vivian: Now, now, let's keep it friendly. Geoffrey, do you want to join us?

Geoffrey: I'll pass, thank you. I prefer to watch the chaos unfold from a safe distance.

[Will pulls out the game controller.]

Will: Alright, let's dive into "The Girl And The Robot"! I heard it's got some killer graphics.

[As they start playing, there's a knock on the door. Will opens it to find Jazzy Jeff standing there with a huge smile.]

Jazzy Jeff: Yo, what's up, Banks family? I heard y'all were gaming, and I couldn't resist joining in!

Will: Jazzy Jeff, my man! Come on in.

[They all make room for Jazzy Jeff on the couch as they continue playing.]

Jazzy Jeff: So, what's the verdict on this game?

Carlton: It's fantastic! The gameplay is smooth, and the storyline is engaging.

Hilary: And the graphics are to die for!

Ashley: I love how you get to control both the girl and the robot. It adds a whole new level of strategy.

Vivian: It's a great game for family bonding.

[Just then, the doorbell rings again. Will opens it to find the Prince of Persia himself, accompanied by Elika.]

Will: Well, if it isn't the Prince of Persia and his trusty companion, Elika! What brings you two here?

Prince of Persia: We heard you were having a gaming night, and we couldn't resist joining in on the fun.

Elika: Plus, we've heard great things about this game.

[They join the Banks family on the couch, adding to the excitement.]

Will: Alright, let's show these Persians how we do it in Bel-Air!

[As they continue playing, Jazzy Jeff gets a little too excited and accidentally knocks over the coffee table.]

Jazzy Jeff: Whoops! My bad, y'all!

Uncle Phil: [from upstairs] Will! What's going on down there?

Will: Nothing, Uncle Phil! Just a little gaming mishap.

[Uncle Phil storms down the stairs and sees the chaos.]

Uncle Phil: Jeffrey! How many times do I have to tell you to be careful in this house?

[He grabs Jazzy Jeff and literally throws him out of the front door like a basketball.]

Jazzy Jeff: [as he's being thrown out] Yo, Uncle Phil, you could've at least let me finish my turn!

[Everyone bursts into laughter at the sight of Jazzy Jeff flying out the door.]

Will: Classic Uncle Phil move!

[As they continue playing, Will can't help but make a joke.]

Will: You know, this game reminds me of the time I tried to save Princess Jasmine in Agrabah, but ended up getting lost in the desert for hours. Hey, Prince of Persia, maybe you can give me some tips on navigating those sands next time!

Prince of Persia: Haha, sure thing, Will. But remember, it's not all about the sand. Timing and precision are key!

Elika: Absolutely, and teamwork too. Just like in our adventures.

Will: Ah, I see you two are a dynamic duo just like me and Jazz here.

Jazzy Jeff: You got that right, Will! We're like peanut butter and jelly.

[The scene fades out as they all continue playing "The Girl And The Robot," bonding over their shared love of gaming and laughter.]

first of all this should have been called the girl and the robot PART one i dont know if the devs intend to make a part 2 but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they better because leaving the game of on such a click bait like title is just not it.

overall though i do enjoy the game. the animation is very reminiscent of those old animations i used to watch as a kid but unfortunately the decision from the devs to not include a manual save button absolutely just kills this game for me to be honest you have to go through some really long sections in the game and if anything goes wrong you have to start all over again if they game just have a save feature i would totally give this game a positive comment.
aside from that the combat is horrible, the robots reactions are way too slow in order to combat the opponents who are all alot faster than him and unfortunately combat was quite a big part of the game especially towards the end, you end up having to just arrow spam alot

nevertheless despite the no recommendation this game was not a bad game at all, just some flaws here and there as well as a really unsatisfying cliffhanger ending.

Got this as a holiday gift. Seems very wholesome and fun, even if the environments at the beginning seem bleak. But it seems to be optimized for controllers...wasn't fun mashing buttons on my keyboard trying to figure out what was what.

It is fairly well-made and put together, and some moments were genuinely suspenseful. However, I was disappointed to find out the story ends on a cliffhanger - and although there are clear signs a sequel was intended, I have seen no sign of the continuation, which makes me uncertain regarding the future of the project.
So I recommend it as a standalone experience, and do not recommend it for those that don't like incomplete narratives. Hopefully we will see Act II someday.

after like 3-4 years im still waiting for what will happen in next ep:(

Lovely adventure with a little clunky controls.

It's cute. I feels a lot like an old PS1 game both graphically and gameplay wise.
The ending is a cliffhanger but not a very good one at that.
The controls are hot garbage! OOB the stem controller doesn't work and i couldn't get it working with my PS4 controller either. the Keyboard/mouse controls aren't well laid or very intuitive. I spent the first 20 minutes tweaking the control map on the steam controller and never got it working very well. I ended up having to swap to the kb/mouse and back a few times for some segments.
Overall, it might be worth it if you get it on sale (like $3 or less). Gameplay is ~1.5 hours unless you suck like i do and fight with the controls the whole time. then expect it to to be a bit closer to 2.5 hours of game time

Don't buy it for mindboggling puzzles or intense combat, come into this game with expectations to fit. That being said....

This game is charming as ♥♥♥♥ and I bought it to be charmed as ♥♥♥♥. 10/10
