Highly Likely

Gameplay

Highly Likely is an adventure game that tells us the story of Mikola and his wife.

Mikola and his wife are two humble people who are wholly unremarkable and to remove the unremarkability a little, they decide to travel the world. To get the money required, Mikola takes a loan from the bank and buys good seeds for his farm so that he can earn enough money, but as fate would have it, the weather is not suitable and his crops die out. The banks comes back demanding money and thus starts the game where Mikola tries to save his homestead.

The gameplay of Highly Likely revolves around moving around Mikola and managing his inventory space. While that sounds like an easy job to do, it is far more difficult. First, Mikola moves INCREDIBLY slow. To get him from one corner of the screen to the other is a task in itself and it becomes annoying after 2 minutes of starting the game.

Managing the inventory space is also not the most comfortable as it uses only shift key to manage stuff and that prompts my computer to do the sticky keys thing every couple of minutes.

The story, while has a good start, becomes cumbersome and paddded as it goes on mainly because of the gameplay. I felt like half the game time has been padded out by the slow movements of Mikola and since the story is not the most interesting, it is difficult to see the game through to the end. Clearly, gameplay is not the strong aspect of Highly Likely.

Visuals

If there was one thing you had to play this game for, it is for the visuals. Lovingly crafted, charming backgrounds and artwork breathes life into a game that would otherwise I would not have recommended. The characters themselves visually convey what they’re trying to say and despite all the flaws in the gameplay, the visuals pallette here is absolutely beautiful.

Sound

The sound design of Highly Likely is good, the soundtrack is simple, compliments the game and builds the atmosphere nicely. The voice acting on the other hand feels a little forced sometimes,mainly because the narrator himself voices all the other actors. While it works sometimes, especially when he’s narrating in a poker voice, the flaws clearly show.

Overall

I recommend Highly Likely because of its amazing visuals and somewhat humorous story. Where it lacks it gameplay, it makes up with its overall visual design. If you can power through its lacklustre and downright annoying gameplay, there is a pretty game here to watch.
