It's very fun and addictive! By the end I cared so deeply about everyone else. Wish the ending was a bit stronger but maybe we can have a sequel...

Este juego me ha encantado PERO. Soy muy fan de Ragnar Tørnquist desde The Longest Journey. Este juego recoge algunos temas habituales en él, sobre todo, la irrupción de un evento inesperado que causa un cambio histórico y, bueno, en lo woke. Es muy woke. Pero, aparte de eso, y en mi opinión, lo extremadamente progresista que es (básicamente, no hay ni un personaje cis hetero blanco), no se hace un gran énfasis en este aspecto. La principal discriminación, básicamente, la única, no es por orientación ni etnia, sino por ser parte de los "anómalos". Tenía la idea de que el juego estaba centrado en el combate y en la música. En realidad, estos aspectos no son tan importantes y pueden ingorarse. El combate me pareció algo primitivo, así que lo bajé a fácil. La parte musical me gustó más, pero creo que realmente da igual cómo "toques". Al fiinal, te pasas el juego hablando con unos y con otros, y contigo misma, y recibiendo un lore paulatino del mundo en el que se sitúa el juego. Si te gustaron los juegos de Telltale, es probable que este también lo hará. Además, la estética tiene mucho en común, con un aspecto comiquero bastante logrado. Si no quieres pasarte horas hablando con la gente sobre sus vidas, mejor juega a otra cosa.

Quite a special game. First of all, the music is a real blast - I got hooked on it even before I knew about the game. Not a surprise, that music is a big part of the story. Overall the game consists of several main gameplay loops: * Combat. Chaotic, somewhat interupts itself (characters have a dialog during combat that you keep interrupting by doing combat, kinda weird). I fount it at times fun, at times funny and at times frustrating. * Rythm game. Basically jam out to the awesome music. Honesly, quite a good implementation. It's really funny how the game handles failures in this one. * Conversations / relatioships. For me this is the thing that makes this game shine. A relatively unique approach where dialog options keep popping in and out during conversation. Some responses are time-gated, so you might fail to respond if you're thinking too much, or might say the thing you did not intend. With these mechanics the conversations are somewhat closer to real ones - you either say something to soon, something wrong or just not say anything at all. And staying silent sometimes is the right approach. I love it. On top of it, the relationships are the main thing that will drive you to a different endings. For me this is the main driver behind this game and it mostly shines. I did not like, that in some situations you are forced to make a bad decision and only can choose how to get there. Kinda sucks for immersion, but I also understand they have a story to tell, and some (not all) of those story beats have to happen. Maybe a better approach would be to let other characters in the game drive some of those, thus not giving the protagonist a choice, instead of giving a fake one. Was not a fan of rapidly growing list of characters that we interact with. Would have loved to focust the interactions with fewer people, but in the end it actually worked out. I think this choice gave the developers more to work with. At one point I lost the plot. Things were just getting more grandiose and I could no longer grok it. But at the same time, it reminded me of Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. I lost the plot in that game too. Hence it's kinda sweet, that the same Red Thread from years ago is still very much here. Overall, the game definetly has that Red Thread DNA. Event some scenes, where we're walking around and exploring really reminded me of the older game. The settings is also very intriguing. It's this alternate history distopia, and developers flushed out quite a bit of lore. The lore gets delivered both in direct exposition via dialogue, but you can also find items to pick up, or find billboards, news channels and other enviromental story telling. I love it. To conclude - it's a pretty unique, yet sometimes flawed adventure. It has its moments of silly, moments of sadness. It has head-banging music, moments of silent reflection and the trully unique conversations, that ended up pulling on my heart strings. When the credits rolled I did feel something meaningful. I love it and I'm happy I went on this adventure.

Finally got round to playing this after buying it out of sheer annoyance at all the negative responses early on. Turns out that was all rather ironic. Red Thread do wonderful story telling and I willingly spent a few immersive hours letting the doom and gloom headlines fade away. Loved the bits of poetry here and there and Rubber Ducky's cameo! (Looking out for at least one crow ref in the upcoming games...) Thanks for making this; I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed it.

This game felt like someone crossed an idea from DONTNOD with combat techniques from Hellblade. Is it perfect? No. There is some jank in the design (Pax walks a bit too slow for my taste, but that can be endured; the combat feels clunky and not very responsive, but, again, it can be endured; the rhythm game - yes, there is one - can feel as unresponsive as the combat ... ), yet apart from that I have zero complaints. If you don't like the way the characters are written, if you don't like the music, if you don't like the story ... well, there is nothing I can say to change your mind. If you don't want to pay full price, I got it on sale. Ultimately, I had fun, wanted to see it through to the end and I came away satisfied.
