MADE : Interactive Movie – 01. Run away!

MADE : Interactive Movie – 01. Run away!

This is a review for people that speak English that don’t speak Korean wondering if they should try this out.

Short Answer (There’s a long answer at the end)

Yes (that’s what the big blue thumbs up is for, right?)

It does take a little bit of effort to play it in English though.

First off, the main menu is in Korean. You can change it to English

옵션 - Options

텍스트언어 - Text Language

영어 - English

Yes, it’s changing it so it has subtitles as well and the puzzles will be in English. They didn’t dub this and I’m glad because dubbed live anything is absolutely cringe worthy. None of the credits will be in English, but almost everything else will.

playing it for 4 hours solely because:

► i enjoyed it eventhough i never got into Korean movies or drama tbh

► the acting is pretty good and enjoyable

► eventhough some choices kinda give the same result but some of it DO have different results

► The devs are kind enough to let people post 1 ending for 1 channel at least for streamer/youtuber

because mostly will just tell them to not stream it at all or copyright strike them instantly

so cheers for that and thanks for a quick response for this

► i’m curious since this has 01 on the title, will we get a sequel ?

Bloody Service

Bloody Service

First of all i want to thank CASE for giving me a free key for their game.

Bloody Service is a visual novel inspired by horror movies. But it’s a bit different, because not only different choices mean different endings, but also different inventory management can give unexpected reactions and dialogues, giving the sensation of living the experience deeply. The main character is a guy working for a catering service and now he’s been called for a job in the exclusive Hilltop Tennis Club, where nothing is like it seems, and where there’s the shadow of two twin conjoined brothers, Arthur and Cole. The game is short but it’s all very well condensed and there are a bunch of gory and violent scenes which are pretty shocking.

Bloody Service (BS) is CASE’s first of hopefully many 80s throwback horror projects. The Argentina-based studio has been in the biz for ages but as it turns out, has been holding out on us! BIG TIME!! What lulled me into the bloodlust was firstly its brand; a slasher-FMV-VN title and right then and there, I knew I had to join in on the fun!! Ironically, I’ve never played any games with full on senseless, evading a killer type (guess the closest is Until Dawn) but I watched like hundreds of those, so it’s long overdue :P

Motesolo : No Girlfriend Since Birth

Motesolo : No Girlfriend Since Birth

Very funny game. Lovable characters. Had a watch party with friends and it was a blast! Still hoping for better Suna ending tho.

Real player with 17.4 hrs in game

Motesolo was a lot of good clean fun. I cared about the characters, laughed out loud, and genuinely enjoyed sitting down to a playthrough. The interface is slick and design decisions support the style of game well. Game feels very professional, easy to get into, and rewards paying attention in a way that doesn’t feel difficult.

My only complaint was that the english translation had a number of typos that could be easily addressed by an editor. It wasn’t enough to interfere with my understanding but seems like good low-hanging fruit to fix in a future update.

PCI Public Crime Investigation

PCI Public Crime Investigation

Excellent game with such a great style… been waiting for a game that plays as legit as this one! Everything in it is full of realism.

Full support!

Real player with 19.1 hrs in game

Really interesting concept and very well executed. PCI casts you as an armchair detective. The French police are asking for assistance with some of their cases. You must create an actual account in order to play online as a team or by yourself and accrue points after finishing up cases. There are 6 cases total ranging from around 30 minutes to 4 hours. The content is VERY dark in some cases and deals with some heavy realistic topics (I’ll list some TW’s at the end of this). While I felt uncomfortable during playing I was so hooked. The cases are riveting and the quizzes at the end really engage you actively with the material. The actors/actresses do a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life (even the worst ones) and not even making you realize they’re acting.

Attentat 1942

Attentat 1942

I am certainly partial to games that tell a story. However, games that pass down important and historical information are even better. A game that can entertain and teach possesses a special power. Not only can the game effectively deliver important information that the player is more likely to retain than they would sitting in a history class, but it also engages them in such a way that the information becomes relevant and memorable. I know I’ll never forget how my hands sweat when the gestapo knocked on the door and I had to quickly find a way to nervously delay them. I was impressed with the mechanics during that mini game, and I think that games like this should be made available, and perhaps even replace, outdated teaching techniques in school.

Attentat 1942 is a FMV game, where you want to know, what happened with your father and mother in Prague at the Second World War.

What I really liked in the game, is how it looks. Now, the videos has all right quality, however the older cutscenes are made with comic styled, but more like newspaper version of that, and those cutscenes looked amazing. Everything is understandable from them and looked really nice.

About the story, I liked it really much. Reminds me of older stories from the same time, which I heard from my grandparents. It showed the war from a different perspective, which is not cover in history books or in TV properly. Most of the choices you can do in the game makes sense and bring the story forward. Characters have their motives and own story is really nice, however I need to mention, that these stories happened and that gives a whole new depth to it.

Lives and livelihoods are on the line, there is no room for mistakes.

Let me be clear, I really liked the first game. I think it did most things right and while I wasn’t a fan of the jumpscares and it definitely looked like an indie game production wise.

This game is a perfect example of how sometimes, less is more.

Let me start with my biggest pet peeve of this game, and that’s the extreme slowness of it all. The entire plot is not that long, I actually think it might be around the same length as the first game, but it is padded out by how extremely slow it all is. Be it conversations or the extreme amount of stuff you need to click through and scan gets annoying on the second playthrough, if not first.

Recontact London: Cyber Puzzle

The Technology points are out of proportion, to win each puzzle. It costs to do Satellite, you need at least extend view (5 pts) and 360 degree view (15 pts)…. to solve each sat tracker puzzle. The win technology points are most of the time 0 (zero) gain it rewards box, before pressing Start. It takes a long time to gain points in decipher at 1 point every 9 minutes. This makes it unplayable, til you get enought to buy – Extended/360 views. Have played 31 hours so far, and I’m Not Impressed with game as it now stands —- Sorry Devs, back to drawing board at this point.

I really, really wanted to like this game. I love FMVs, I love investigation type stuff, this is right up my alley. The early parts of the game looked great.

But then you get to a point where you realize that (at least in its current state) the game is just a big mess.

Progression seems to be based on an attribute called “sense” that you increase by correctly playing minigames. You have to find specific people in video footage, like Where’s Waldo but with moving video. You have to track things moving across the city. You have to uncover a pattern hidden in static. You can control a drone looking for things in homes or buildings. But where the trouble comes in is that by messing up in the games, you can lose sense instead of gaining it.
