Clever game, great sound track…. but man…so many idiot drivers.

Don’t let the simplicity fool you about this game. It’s actually a really fun game where you control all the cars in a time loop so you have to drive your car’s path to it’s destination smartly so the cars don’t collide. Great concept and soundtrack! This game is very enjoyable and worth you time.

Over the Alps
Over the Alps is a spy story that takes place as tensions escalate into World War II as told through a choose-your-adventure featuring choices that feature personality and character traits of your protagonist. The scenery is designed after postcards of the Swiss Alps and are remarkable. As any choose-your-adventure story goes, the writing is the most important, and playing through, you can tell that the story is crafted in detail and is quite funny to read through.

Pitch perfect: the writing reads like the best old adventure classic you’ve never read and manages to pack punch, warmth, humor, and pathos in short paragraphs and postcard-length mini-episodes. You’re never too long before you’re making a new choice or zipping to a new location. I haven’t enjoyed a game’s writing this much since 80 Days. Oh look! This came from some Inkle veterans. Makes sense.
The writing isn’t the only thing that’s pitch perfect. This game has a simple, great visual design that doesn’t hold your hand. Navigation is subtle and never distracts from the vintage poster style art: flocks of birds are used to indicate buildings you haven’t explored yet, a spinning compass tells you when it’s time to choose the next path on the map, etcetera.

Flowers -Le volume sur ete-
Wow, wow, wow. What a game. Let me just say that this is usually not my kind of thing, but by the end of it, I really quite enjoyed it. This is the second game of the series but if you didn’t play the first game like me, you really wouldn’t be lost at all so there is nothing to worry about there.
I don’t think the main story is particularly interesting. In some ways, the main story is actually really cliche. But I think what really carries the story through is the dialog and character development these characters go through on top of just being interesting and likeable characters in themselves. I particularly love Erika, the MC of this game and Suoh who I think is the MC of the last game. Chidori never rubbed off on me that well but I feel like that was the point of her character and her development by the end of it made me care for her all the same.
