I thought this would be the best game, but its like reading a CYOA book which I love but then you are asked to pay money in the middle! Nowhere does it say this!!
Amazing, amazing!
Pretty late, I know -w-"
But it would be a lot nicer if the entire thing was free, though I do understand why it needs to be paid for.
As most Choice of Games, there is really nothing to complain about UI and accessibility. Everything is intuitive, and the game gives you recaps of former chapters, important for a game of this length.
Also typical for Choice of Games, the game is extremly linear at the beginning, but branching out rapidly towards the end. As stated above, there are only 4 major endings though. (5, if you count dieing.) Yet there is enough diversity to make it worthwhile to achieve the same ending multiple times.
The story is neatly written, and the author manages to capture every emotion as good as possible in a game that spans a whole human live. The humour is mostly subtle (almost snarky, at times) but i'm the last one to complain about that.
Most of the story is hard sci-fi / borderline speculative fiction. However, the technical details only play a (very) minor role, and everything is explained when necessary.
At the end a minor nitpick: there is a certain scene in which it is terribly ambigous whether a certain character dies or not, but it is not explicitly resolved. Context makes it obvious what happened, but it is very confusing at first.
Jaw-dropping. Absolutely worth the 6 dollars for the whole game. It's past 1 in the morning and I have no regrets. It made me laugh. It made me cry. And I've still so many more endings to find.
This was an amazing game! My mom and dad are thinking about buying the other chapters for me and i can't wait to play them! It was an AMAZING game. 5 stars.
Easily 5/5! I love the amount of options in the customization and development of the robot and the freedom for the reader to decide whether a robot is a machine or a being. It's a shame the whole thing isn't free, but I guess I can't blame you. Excellent work!
