Myth of rules is a clever little game that is somewhere halfway between a visual novel and an oldschool 8-bit adventure game. The focus is on narrative and ambiance, and the usage of diagrams for everything manages to instillate an interesting mood to the game all the while presenting a novelty aspect for the gameplay side. The different episodes all offer several endings that you have to discover through manipulations. It's not really about solving an adventure, but more about discovering fates, more like a literary exploration if you want. There are good and bad endings but there is no real advantage of ones over the others. I'd say this is a nice mix between narrativism and gameism. The manipulations require restarting the story several times, and trying different combinations, but this isn't as tedious as it sounds, in fact not tedious at all, and you can abuse the save function to create checkpoints. It's better not to try to unlock all of the conclusions unless you're really a completionist and have a lot of patience. I overflew the episodes without digging too much except for a couple. The episodes are unequal, most are okay but 'pacific square' is confusing and messy, probably the weakest of the serie, and I didn't try to finish it. 'Godbless hotel' on the other hand is dizzying but in a good way due to the complex intricated stories and actions. The stories all have an asian fantasy aspect mixed with modern urban legend, I found it kinda refreshing. The only real problem comes from the translations from the original chinese text, originally written in an elliptic and poetic way. The translation is sometimes approximative and not the best, fortunately the segmented aspect of the narrative makes this not very important and the meaning is still conveyed. There are a couple untranslated paragraphs that appear in ideograms, but nothing important. When the game starts it's all chinese and you'll have to find the option to switch to English. It's not difficult to do but it could be surprising to some players. there is a level editor and you can create your own scenarios, which adds a lot to the game's value, if you have the time and talent.
