Tremendous potential but "janky" is a massive understatement. Game survives and is worth playing on vibes alone, but it's going to need a lot more refinement. Still recommending it because I've enjoyed what I've experienced so far and it's worth playing despite the bugs and rough balancing.

Very nice atmosphere and vibes. Lets all love Lain.

I can't tell if I hated this game or really liked it. Immersive sims are inherently hostile to new players by design, intentionally so, but Peripeteia does this to an extreme that is hard to justify. In its current state, calling itself is an immersive sim is a stretch - it confuses the complete removal of player conveniences as immersive, but lacks any kind of ramifications or continuity for your actions. Every mission is essentially a clean slate - you lose all the items you collected and none of your decisions or weight of your actions is ever referenced by future characters. This mission based structure can be done right (Cruelty Squad), but how it is handled is so much more abrasive in Peripeteia. The inventory system is interactive and enjoyable to interface with, manually loading bullets into magazines and field stripping weapons is great in theory, and learning the ins-and-outs of the huge variety of weapons felt fun and interesting - but it is insulting to then have your entire inventory wiped at the end of the mission. This entire mechanic is also impossible to avoid - you will run out of bullets, need to switch guns, and carry consumables if you plan on going loud. Everything you collect is disposable, which is the antithesis of having a complex, micromanaged inventory that is robbed from you at the end of each level. The world has great potential, but it is extremely bloated. Levels are Grand Theft Auto sized cities but have virtually nothing in them. With no objective markers, a journal that frequently fails to update despite collecting relevant information, and the ease of sequence breaking, I found myself just searching for the first clear condition rather than searching for what I would consider an optimal outcome. The lighting system is also unfathomably bad. Light reflecting off water is so bright it blinds you and everything else is so dark you will spend the first 5 hours of gameplay looking through the optics of nightvision goggles. Eventually I just made the brightness toggle in settings my best friend. Collectible augs generally felt underwhelming considering how much of your inventory space they take up. Seems like an odd choice to have augments take up huge portions of your backpack space, only to have them operate on a finite and relatively difficult resource to replenish and are generally lackluster anyway. All these factors combined make exploration feel tedious and unrewarding but completely non-optional. It stands in the way of the actual interesting and well thought out parts of the game. The world doesn't need yellow paint or an objective marker, but better player direction or logging of what you have done would go a long way, or at least fill out the world with things to interact with and let me keep them for the next level. Chapter 4, Belgrade, is so offensively bad it almost feels like a joke from the developers. All in all, I think if Chapter 5, Karabash, wasn't in the game I wouldn't have returned, but that level alone is so good it gives me high hopes for where this game ends up in a year. With some polish and walking back of some questionable design choices Peripeteia could be great.

Such a unique and refreshing experience. Love the borderline esoteric approach to gameplay and its mechanics, and especially the fantastic art direction. At its core, this is an immersive sim, but its approach to gameplay is rather... unconventional, even by the genre’s standards. The game borrows most heavily from the first Deus Ex, but certain elements from S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Thief, E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy are present as well. With that said... the game is janky as hell, the AI is atrocious, and the game is buggy as hell...and yet, it has such a unique charm to it that I can’t help but love it for what it is. It’s a bizarre mix of unconventional ideas, with absolutely zero hand-holding, and a bunch of complete nonsense. You’ll either love it or absolutely despise it - this is absolutely a game of acquired taste. In fact, this is the kind of game that will probably develop a cult following, with people obsessively basing their entire internet persona about it. Im not sure if thats a good thing, but i guess it is a testament to what the game is and what it accomplishes.
