Did Not Finish/10
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
You gotta get some milk. At some point, presumably, you get some milk. I didn’t stick around that long.
An introspective metaphorical walking sim in the vein of the Stanley Parable, Katharsis has all of the annoyances and none of the interest or charm. I got the achievements I got by unlocking a secret room and opening roughly eight billion cabinets to find achievements. Since there’s no save state, when I progressed through a boring war scene and quit out when I was tired, I wound up back at the beginning again. I didn’t want to play through even that 15 minute segment I played again, so I’m shelving this one without finishing.
Apparently there’s a lot more past this - but I really can’t be bothered. No good hook. The plus side - my percentage is largely intact!
Next up:
See you soon!
Ha! I had a feeling you weren’t gonna finish it when I saw where you left off… though I know how annoying looking for achievements in this manner can get - I’d surely wind up falling into a slump myself.
That being said, I’m curious to see what you think of Lumino City!
