I don’t even know how to describe this one. It’s close to what I am imagine dropping a tab or eating shrooms before playing reader rabbit would be like. Jstorm likes this.

But then this game? seems to be focused on imitating malware rather than twisted story or the gameplay. @mgambino , could you share how much gameplay this game has? icomma Member Jan 19, 2014 13 1 1 #6 icomma, Oct 1, 2020 I would recommend a pass on this. The story for the first play through is interesting enough, but the gameplay is extremely simple and not very fun. There are only a few puzzles, and they’re painfully basic. After you complete it, you get play through 2, which is literally identical in every way except some text changes. Play through 3 is an extremely brief (but also identical to that point) portion of the game and then it just ends with no closure or indication it should be done. The abruptness was so baffling that I searched all over the internet to see what I was missing, but I’m pretty sure I wasn’t missing anything. So in short, boring gameplay with a mildly interesting story (but nothing crazy if you’ve played this type of game before), and extremely repetitive. You play the exact same game twice for small story changes.

The above review is fairly accurate about the faults... That being said, anyone that’s been playing these maddening children’s educational might enjoy it for what it is. I did. Jstorm likes this.

I don’t quite understand those modern art thing. (You must log in or sign up to post here.) Show Ignored Content Share This Page Tweet Your name or email address: Do you already have an account?
