Huh. This was another short one, very weird. It had one or two interesting things going for it that ended up never coming together. It wasn’t EXACTLY the kind of dumb bleakness I was expecting… but it still overall was dumb and bleak, if in a different flavor. Again, the translation/writing was rough and that really kneecapped any weight the game tried to have. It was coherent enough, but what it had to say wasn’t particularly much of anything.
This is closer to a walking sim than a point and click - there really aren’t any puzzles to speak of. Everything’s on rails - there’s barely anything you can miss if you’re even remotely thorough. It… was a game, that I played. An easy 100%, at least!
Next up: Okay, so I won the sequel to a hidden object game that I hadn’t played yet. While I know story in hidden object games don’t really matter much, I want to play the first one first. Then, to keep from burn out, I’ll play my other two remaining wins and finish up with the hidden object win. Okay? Okay!
See you soon!
Oh thats why I havent gotten the secret order at all. I know I can buy number 1 else where but I want it all on steam and this series is one I looked at and it follows the same people around like the Nightmares of the deep so even if it was just the slight info I need to know I couldnt handle it
