UNREAL LIFE

8 Hours played

Honestly, I came in here expecting a typical 'bazoinks it's a depression allegory' game, but left pleasantly surprised. First things first - gameplay. It's not the fanciest, it's a glorified visual novel after all, not that that's a bad thing. If you played blind like me, you'll find that some puzzles are pretty tricky, but not unfairly so, simply a matter of patience and careful observation of each level's elements. The spaceship minigame is also fairly straightforward, and you can simply gamble your way through by spamming the normal shot attack.

Now -- plot. You kind of get in the shoes of the protagonist pretty quickly, dazed, confused, and wondering what the hell anything is. You've woken up in some sort of surrealist painting that nearly makes sense, yet doesn't. But as the game goes on you start to get bits and pieces of what might be really happening, having you guess and question some of the supporting casts' true motivations or your main goal. It's a slow burn, a nice decent reveal that'll lay itself bare the closer you get to one of the finales.

And best of all -- there's a good ending. Who are you? Who am I? What do I want to do? You'll find a satisfying resolution if you push forward. An ending that'll hit close to those who've a storm brewing inside of them, and those who've come out of serious suicide attempts. A very, very good representation of the clarity of mind that resurfaces when one is saved or survives. If you die... you'll never see tomorrow's story.

I'm likely not 100% through with the game yet, so I'll likely update this when I start another run.

[23:47:12] <masterretardes> you could call me a nostalgia addict, and maybe i am
[23:47:18] <masterretardes> but im also sure that we used to be happier, whether it be when we were kids
[23:47:25] <masterretardes> or when we got older, we lost a certain spark to things.
[23:47:31] <masterretardes> or im just talking out of my ass, who gives a ♥♥♥♥ anymore, we dont need to do anything

[15:23:56] <Ton> the internet has gone sterile, derivative, and consolidated
[15:24:02] <Ton> fifty times over with the old guard being utterly disenfranchised
[15:24:10] <Ton> drop the phone, riajuu. you did this.
[15:24:16] <hAibAyle> you opened twitter again?

[08:12:47] <Enchi|ada> The prevalence of “being a good person” in today's world has so much nuance, now it’s a matter of perspective than of principle.

[19:45:00] <j_ns> oh, rich
[19:45:03] <j_ns> how's uni been
[19:45:12] <@r+ch> full of morons dispensing empty platitudes to prevent any of their peers from feeling slighted by their silence
[19:45:25] <j_ns> humanities major indeed

[12:38:59] <masterretardes> hololive taught me that women become likable under an oppressive social code that limits what they can say and do

[17:06:14] <ender> nuance is the new n-word
[17:06:20] <j_ns[AFK]> i see.
[17:06:21] <j_ns[AFK]> ♥♥♥♥♥.

[21:18:40] <Enchi|ada> Everyone is a weirdo outcast until it’s time to get into an argument, then it’s a social faceoff over who’s less of a weirdo outcast.
[21:18:49] <hAibAyle> touch grass weebcel
[21:18:55] <Enchi|ada> I'm gonna touch you.

[13:55:29] <masterretardes> basically if you got into anime during covid and only read "kino"
[13:55:35] <masterretardes> you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid and a poser and i know who you are
[13:55:42] <masterretardes> when i see your top tens it's berserk vinland lain evangelion every time

[11:03:11] <Ton> how's that saying go
[11:03:19] <Ton> comparison is the thief of joy?
[11:03:25] <@r+ch> keep gawking at the top of the mountain and you're bound to miss the boulder rolling down to crush you
[11:03:31] <Ton> thanks, Sisyphus
