The Test: Hypothesis Rising
Fun game.. JUSt Dont MISclick the Wrong Answer by mistake…ok, um ya, moving on…. this is the 3rd and best iteration of the game yet. This game is VERY similar to the first 2 games as are some of the questions… this is basically the original couple test games with a lot of nice touches and improvements as the test evolves. Best of the 3 I’ve played so far…
Same game as b4? Kinda… Worth playing if you have played the first 2? YESSIR!!!!…. Worth playing if you’ve never played a previous game in the series? YES…. basically same psychoanalysis tests as before but with many improvements and a better look as well as different types of questions and more diversity to the questions and some questions from previous games I may have answered differently then, than I did yesterday playing through this game…

Secret Word: Trust
Again, I was gifted with a fairly accurate diagnosis by the end of the trials. Just like the previous game, there is an eerie atmosphere, and the art given to Fate is very eye-catching…I just wish I had a better idea of where this was going.
My main points of critique are that the ending (at least the one I received) seemed to waste a lot of breath discussing the importance and value of time (which is very important)– but for someone who already values such a resource, I felt exasperated. When I finally reached the real ending, the advice I was given wasn’t much.

The Test
Before I go into the rest of my review, this is my final word: Love.
Wow. This game did a lot of things well and successfully elevated my heartrate purely through artfully placed simple questions and atmosphere. Even the positioning of the question-asker and his design were unnerving.
You can see pretty quickly what the game is trying to accomplish, but it still throws you off guard. It is exactly what it says it is– a series of yes-or-no questions that range from “Do you prefer cats over dogs?” to “Do you feel like I know you yet?”

This game does not and cannot deliver what it promises.
Anyone who takes this quiz should familiarize themselves with the Forer effect, where people give high accuracy ratings to personality descriptions that are supposedly tailored to them. Such personality descriptions are vague enough that they could really apply to almost anyone, and people interpret the information to be more personal that it actually is. This test is an example of this effect.
I’ll use my own example to illustrate. After you answer all of the questions, the game will assign you a secret word, which supposedly represents something fundamental to your personality. The secret word it gave me was “love.” The game goes on to explain what that word means; for example, according to the game, I’m insecure: I don’t trust others and I don’t trust myself. That’s true, by the way; however, the game goes on to make a number of claims that could apply to just about anyone. In my case, it said:

BAD END THEATER
Bad End Theater attempts to deconstruct common fantasy archetypes by introducing a personality modifier system that influences timelines. The game fails to achieve its deconstruction meta-commentary by not allowing its characters enough time to flesh out their ideologies and motivations.
Part of what makes a bad ending so tragic is your investment in a story’s characters. Games such as 999 or Higurashi are able to have impactful Bad End scenes because they did the due diligence of establishing character interactions and relationships. Without the time to come to grow and love the characters in a story, it’s difficult to be invested in bad things happening to them.

I spent 4 hours during the online classes playing this game, wow! 8/10 quite good-
It’s overall fine and also impressive for an indie game! But the game still doesn’t seem to.. satisfy me enough :(
SPOILER:
I still don’t feel connected to the characters or feel any guilt to the end. The true ending self-insert and friendship thing actually doesn’t feel right, it isn’t the same as Undertale that you truly feel for each character.
Actually, while I was collecting all endings I was aiming to see worse, darker, and more intense ending. It turned out to be a quite heartwarming game, but still doesn’t feel wholesome enough for me. I think if the game were longer and had more intense stories and endings(that isn’t repetitive ending from different views), maybe it could’ve been better. I’m probably a masochist for painful story like TRAGEDY said xD.

Geisterland
What a weird game experience! I got lost a little bit at the beginning but once you get the hang of the controls it’s rather intuitive. I loved the rich scenario and all the discoveries you make through the lost journals. The puzzles were really cool as some were quite tough, had multiple solving options and often impacted strongly on the rest of the story!
Hope there will be a second one, as I didn’t get all the answer I wanted from this one!

Space Court
This is a well written story that does a great job of not taking itself too seriously and not wearing out its welcome. That’s are in these days – where writers will often beat a little too hard on one theme. And don’t get me wrong, there are some serious topics and issues discussed in this game, but the way they are presented via aliens bringing their grievances to a space judge ends up being pretty hilarious. There’s a lot that can be explored with comedy, and this game does a great job of it. Definitely recommend. A full play through won’t take much more than an hour but I’ve been happy to try it a few times just to see what dialogue options I missed.

Well… that was a nice episode of… oh wait.
It’s a game… I almost forgot. It just feels like a 90s sitcom! And that’s awesome!
It’s a short game, you can finish it probably in less than an hour. Or you take your time, enjoy the humor, plan a re-play or two and try out different decisions.
It entertained me REALLY well! Totally worth buying it.
Would be great to see more games like this, or DLC, or an update, a sequel.
In short: I love it!

Change the World
For whatever reason, this visual novel just did not jive with me. Mostly because it’s incredibly depressing getting a bad ending 3x in a row and getting punished for trying to do something. If the author intended for this, then spot on; however, it came at the cost of enjoyability. Though I guess already aligning with Farien’s outlook didn’t help either.
! Want the good ending? Literally don’t do anything anyone asks and then just be nice to the one human in the story.
The art is rather low key and despite claiming 20 music tracks, it felt too often that I was just reading in silence. Farien is also rather a douchebag. For someone with practically nothing left to lose, he sure as hell didn’t prepare well enough in his 3 years to be ready. Took about 2 hours to read everything. The skip function seemed to be broken as it kept skipping unread text when it shouldn’t have… but I somehow had autosaves when I first started, so maybe they just came with the download by default? Made re-reading a bit tedious.

The world building was really immersive and intriguing. The extensive backstory and exploration of the various alien races were really fascinating as well. The paths were really fun to explore, and the true ending was satisfying. I really loved the story

Detroit: Become Human
Have you ever watched a TV series and thought to yourself, man, this character is dumb. Why would they go in there? Why would they do that? It is so stupid. For me, it happens more often than I would care to experience. But now, YOU can be in charge of your own TV series. That’s right, you can make the characters do dumb things and then know that you made them do it. Much more satisfying lol. So much power.
That is only half a joke, because that is what this game is. It is essentially a high budget TV production where you have some sprinkled ‘game-play’. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, I quite enjoyed the ride and if you don’t want to read past this point, just know that if you want to experience a fascinating setting with a compelling narrative then this game is for you.

So, most of the reviews I see are pretty positive or negative, but not super descriptive? And it really doesn’t do it justice, because this game… Well, it has a lot to say but also nothing at all. I want to preface with that I actually really enjoyed the game. I liked most of the characters, I like that there are so many branching paths in every scene, I LOVED the graphics, and I did actually like the gameplay. Overall, I don’t think you’ll be wasting money if you decide to purchase. It has a high replayability as well, which is just a lot of value.

Heavy Rain
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐅𝐚𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐆𝐨 𝐓𝐨 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐧?
I can’t believe it’s been almost 11 years since this game’s been released. I love this game from the bottom of my heart. I always had interest in story driven games, the moment I saw this game’s trailer I knew it was meant for me. It’s one of those games that defined my personality through my teenage years. How can you not love a game like this. It’s the game that took motion capture to the next level back in those days. Tragic drama thriller movie like game where your choices do actually MATTER. Main characters can die or get injured during their encounters. Every choice you make feels like it will have an impact on your experience. It offers a lot of content and replayability. The action scenes are very intense and gets you locked onto the screen. You can listen to your character’s thoughts that gives you more insight and adds depth about the situation the person’s going through. Which I have missed a lot of them when I was playing 10 years ago even though I’ve played this game more than like 500 hours now I’m discovering new things. To me, Quantic Dream games are really good in terms of creating and establishing scenes as well as writing story with characters and multiple different possibilities. And not to mention the unforgettable magnificent score. It sends shivers down my spine when I hear that Ethan Mars' Theme. Lastly, I believe Quantic Dream company really cares about the content that they’re making at least as I’ve seen from the behind the scenes and artworks.

-How many cliches do you want mr. Cage?
-Yes
I love narrative games so my opinion in this might be a little biased and I obviously recommend this game. It doesn’t come without flaws but we get so little of such games that i’m happy even if it’s not perfect.
