So it turns out I beat this game in like 10 min so HELLO not a bug, me again!
Micro game gets micro review:
So this isn’t just a free game, it’s a free game that was made for a 30-day Ludum challenge. My instinct is to be kind to it… but I can’t, it’s pretty bad.
It’s very young. I probably would’ve fucked with this a lot more if I was thirteen or fourteen and thought veiled references to horrible, unexplained things and sudden flashes of gore were kewl. The art is inexperienced, the writing is inexperienced, and while the half-VN half-point and click angle is well done, it just doesn’t… do much, or go anywhere.
But, hey, 10 minute 100%!
Next up: ANOTHER short VN - though I’ll start playing RiME before I start it up, so we’ll have SOME spacing.
See you soon!
I quite enjoyed Blind Love personally. I’ll be interested to read your thoughts on it.
I saw your review! I hope I like it as much as you did.
If all games would be 10 min long people wouldn’t have problem with backlogs!
:blobaww:
Ha! That’s very true. I deserve to clear out a few shorter games since I’ve been tackling much longer ones in July (one of which I can’t even finish right now!)
