i did indeed need a packet

Basically got it for free paid like 35p for it.

Its an ok game the best i got in the bundle i paid 1.77 for 5 games the others were copy and paste games i played for less than 5 mins so i cant review them but, this is with out a doubt better than the rest this game is actually pretty decent build wise, i struggled with the controls but it took me about 10-15 mins to get a grasp on the games controls.

However i would pay more than a pound for this game.

6/10

why the actually in ♥♥♥♥ am i playing? this game make head bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It's an experience. Bizarre, annoying, fascinating, boring, and interesting. It's clearly unfinished and resembles more of an alpha build than a finished product. That said, figuring the game out was an adventure I enjoyed.

"Need a packet?" це гра з України. Ви працюєте в супермаркеті. Це дійсно пригнічує. Коли ви їдете на роботу автобусом, ви можете грати в міні-ігри або дивитися на своєму смартфоні. Ви відразу почнете відчувати себе самотніми. Антиутопічний сеттинг нагадує мені гру «Papers, Please».

"Need a packet?" is a game from Ukraine. You work in a supermarket. It’s really depressing. When you drive to work by bus, you can play minigames or look on your smartphone. You will immediately start to feel lonely. The dystopian setting reminds me of the game "Papers, Please".

I really wanted to like this game, but what gameplay is there is difficult and disjointed.

Хороша гра. Іноді гра виглядає доволі сирою і недоробленою, але водночас оригінально. Гра сподобалась і рекомендую всім. Проте дуже шкода, що український видавець не робить української локалізації. Прошу Вас добавляти українську локалізацію в подальших проектах

There's a large chance that this game simply fits within my own niche of interests extremely well. I really do like this project a lot for what it is! an experience, and art. The cash registry is really fun too once you get in a rhythm. I think it does a good job of displaying a descent from what I've seen, though while the atmosphere is dreary and holds an important message about antipollution, but it doesn't exactly feel heavy y'know. Very close though! And I love all the surrealist energy!

Personally my biggest gripe with the game is simply the easy mode. I understand the, feeling that was being gone for with it. But ultimately, having it in a way where it's a completely different experiences and eliminating a core gameplay mechanic, (the bullet hell), it just feels like whoever needs, or simply just wants to play the easier mode, is being excluded y'know ? Personally I'd suggest a way to opt in and out of these things but, that's just one solution.

Otherwise!! If this game looks like it interests you then it probably will. I simply just, had a good time!! There's also the lack of tutorial but personally I worked things out after a few tries. yeah

I wanted to like this game but there really seems no point to it I've played nearly an hour and there isn't any substantial narrative. You're just scanning things and slowly collecting bills. Also the commuting minigame is hell. Really no fun at all and a hard pass for me.

I purchased Need a Packet because I watched Markiplier try it out a while ago, and he had a very negative reaction to it at the time, but the visuals were so compelling that I had to come and try it out myself. And I'm glad that I did! I haven't finished the game yet, but so far Need a Packet is a challenging game, with great artwork and music, and a compelling story! The mechanics are interesting too, switching between you being a cashier and giving packets to people, and defending the transport you take to work against giant demons and the like, it all getting progressively more difficult as the game goes on.

The only qualms I have with it, are that when you are sorting money, if you put the bill in the wrong place (say a 20 with the 5s) you have to pull everything else off from on top of it before you can get it. I think the most recent bill put in the stack should be the first one to come out. And, I know it's supposed to be hard... and maybe I'm just bad at games? But the part when the demons are attacking you when you're checking people out...recharging the "guards" is almost impossible. And sometimes it doesn't even let me recharge them. So unless you've somehow saved up enough health, you can't make it past that part. And it starts you all the way over from the beginning every time you fail, which is annoying, but also adds to the difficulty.

So overall, the game is good! And I don't want to take away from the creativity and originality of this game by comparing it to something else... but if you enjoyed Papers, Please you would enjoy this! (Also if you just generally enjoy creepy pixel games) That's all I have to say about it so far, maybe I'll update this once I complete the game. = )
