this was a game that has been rattling in my head since 2014 as a few vague scenes, but i'd think about them pretty frequently. i never got around to playing it myself until super recently, and enjoyed it A LOT. i expect i will return to it after i finish playing the sequel. there are so many things that catch my interest with this game in ways i'm not sure i can fully articulate. the writing, some of the off-the-wall jokes, even the art style is dripping with so much charm. it's a hidden gem that i think more people should experience. my only real complaints have to do with the hunger and money systems, but this is probably just due to user error since i wasn't fully connecting with them to my best ability. i'd have to play the game more to find out if that's the case. highly, highly recommend this game.
an RPG maker game from 2014 that has great ambitions and surprisingly thought-provoking writing and gameplay. Centering on themes of choice and consequence, your player character is actually the third person you control: after a framing cutscene, Larry is having a party and is about to select a writer whom to make publishing deal with (thats you). Whomever he drinks with is you and before committing to the deal, you visit the patio to select your significant other (its fully supportive of gay choices as both genders, just be wary as SOME characters will now have extra lines with some pretty harsh language, n-word and f-slur included). At this party are also a few of the recurring characters on our journey, like Larry and his wife, Darkeff and Viper, and the self inserted writers from the Vagabond Dog. the journey proper begins over a year later--you have broken up with your other, have failed to deliver on the book deal, and your scant advances dry up along with employment in Dubstown, the first area. you become homeless on the first day (unless you can pull some tricks to get 500 bucks in a day, not impossible but not easy) and in the mail the next day, along with your last check from the publisher, is a wedding invite to, you guessed it, your others wedding, ensuing a multi-state trek as you use what little you have to get there to either stop the wedding or come to closure. in each zone, you take odd jobs to keep a few hundred bucks on hand for food, participate in the story track, and also discover various side bits and characters you can impact without knowing. Really gets you into a vagrant mindset--just to eat THAT night, you might have to scab union jobs, or take highly unpleasant temp jobs, you might buy raw ingredients and cook them over a barrel fire because thats better than buying fast food. Early on, you might participate in drug deals or petty theft. Theres a hint of Shenmue in there where collectible figures are everywhere but can be sold for a quick meal. theres some really REALLY good writing in here, about determinism, romance, inevitability, and of course, consequence. the revelations of how you and your SO met vastly recharacterize the opening hours, and like one of the self insert writers says to Larry at the beginning, "what if you aren't the hero of this game?" id say most people owe this game a try, but its not for everyone. there are mechanics that just aren't well made like the survival elements are just tedious and yet ironically not important enough to care about. The story won't be for everyone either, but thats part of what makes it good art. Vagabond Dog made big swings, hit some homeruns, but also whiffed a few.
This is the absolute antithesis of algorithmic game design. It’s an RPG with basically no combat, where your primary mechanic is extreme financial desperation. The fact that the game lets you choose your race and sexual orientation at a party, and then actively changes how the world and NPCs react to you based on those choices, makes it a staggeringly deep and often brutal narrative sandbox.
Played the game during an emotional, confusing, and depressing time, and got personally invested in the story. To put it simply, the story is about MC going through a failed relationship, career, and other stuff - though my situation wasn't about an old flame or anything - some of the hardships they encountered hit close to home past and present. Honestly, I do not know what else I can say because these type of stories might not be for everyone, but at the time I played it, it was a good story for me. Playstyle is very similar to the "To the Moon". The choices you make, how you spend your time affect the outcome -or rather how easy or hard you get there, because at the end you don't have MANY choices and although you have an option to end your story one way or the other, one of them is like the true/correct choice. Considering the game is like a dollar during the sales, it's worth its price.
