this game any good?

anyone here played it?
>>
Shit

The only decent part is a small bit of mystery. It ends up shit anyway

No real exploration

No actual fire stuff and procedure

The characters suck
>>
>>343130080

really? i enjoyed the long dark and it kind of looks similar
>>
>>343129483
it's shit
>>
>>343130294

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's not exploration or survival

It's a linear walking sim. and story
>>
>>343130294
Visually it's very similar but it isn't even close to the same type of game. It's closer to Gone Home than anything but it does have a lot more story/character than that.

If you like walking sims you'll probably like it. If not you won't.
>>
>>343129483
I really liked it for the most part, probably the prettiest game I've played all year. But if you're not into walking sims this probably isn't your thing.

>bought it
>played it for 3.5 hours and and completed it
>got a refund
an overall enjoyable experience
>>
>>343129483
It's alright. I like the exploring aspect of it, I found myself getting lost a lot. The story is for the most part mediocre. If you like first person exploration games give it a try.
>>
>>343129483
Watched a let's play of it out of mild curiosity. Its so bad man... Don't bother with it. The voice acting is like garbage indie hipster dev twitter drool.

Also, I saw an interview with one of the developers who couldn't take his eyes of his own game during the whole interview. Didn't pay attention and just kept his eyes on the screen playing the game. So proud of himself. Fuck em.

When the interviewer casual mentioned the girls at the lake by saying "...pretty girls..." The developer didn't miss a beat in saying "How do you know they are pretty?" Like a fucking hero. Congrats on breaking all the molds by pointing out how edgy you are by putting fat chicks in your game to make a point that are barely even visible.

Save the money and buy any other game. Spare yourself.

How do you get a refund after that long?
>>
>>343131272
steam gives refunds out pretty leniently

Disappointment: The Walking Simulator.
>>
>>343131272
just a tiny bit of luck
>>
>>343129483

literally the most disappointing ending of any game I've ever played. Nothing you do or choices you make even matter at all. There isn't even any game play you walk from point A to point B and that's it. I regret even torrenting it.
>>
I liked it until the underwhelming ending. I'd recommend it at $10.

Choices don't matter whatsoever btw.
>>
>>343131272
Same day you purchased it has more leniency.
>>
Typical indie bullshit with no actual game.
>>
What's with indie devs trying to use video games just to tell a story? for fuck's sake just write a book.
>>
it's awful. I was so excited for it too
>>
>>343131831

Funny thing is Reddit LOVES this "game".

In the first half of the game seems to set up an interesting plotline and you make some heavy decisions.

Second half your counterpart said she didn't do anything about that and it fixes itself so you hunt the Illuminati
>>
shit gameplay
shit ending
your choices don't change the story, your relationship with the woman only ends one way

i pirated it and i'm still mad about it
>>
It's worth playing I think, as long as you're cool with simple mechanics and story heavy design

it's really pretty

>It's worth playing I think
alright
>as long as you're ok with a movie-game
>>
First half is a great little mood piece. The second half "intrigue" wasn't so great.
>>
>>343129483
>good atmosphere
>interesting visuals
>fun with branching dialogue

I enjoyed it, but the payoff isn't nearly as strong as all of the build-up.
>>
I preordered it, played it on release.

Yes it's good. The only bad thing about it is that it's a bit short.

Ignore all the people going hurr durr walking simulator.

The build up was good but everything else about this game is trash. Would not recommend even if it was free.

It's a relatively high quality walking simulator honestly.

Decent dialogue, nice visuals, and an okay story.

I left it feeling pretty good. I pirated it, but I could definitely recommend picking it up on sale if you just want a story.
