April 2025
Really solid game so far! There's a lot of replay value in it, as there are situations in which more than one solution is available! It was pretty fun to see what I could do differently on my second run around. I really love the style of the pixel art and the cast of important characters (as of now- part of the way through chapter two) are distinct. I'm excited to see where things will go from here with it. EDIT: As Chapter 2 has just concluded, I figured it would be appropriate to update this review with it. I'm still excited to see the direction this game will take, though I can understand people dropping it here. My recommendation will not change. In general, Chapter 2 had a slower pace and was less thrilling than Chapter 1. The events in Chapter 2 took a while longer to reach fruition, but there was a lot of foreshadowing and buildup I enjoyed to reach this point. I thought the risque jokes in this chapter were overdone, but as a whole for the story, I get why this slower pace existed after the first chapter in hindsight.

Totally hooked.. can't wait for more! Art and music are beautiful, and puzzles are engaging but not too difficult to work out. Giovanni and Campanella are great. Game has a couple bugs though, like when starting a new game, the game always freezes for me when it first loads into Giovanni's room. But other than that, nothing too major other than the occasional stutter. I imagine those things will be ironed out by the time its completed. More people need to check this game out!

Recommend to read both "Childhood's End" by Arthur C Clarke and "Night on the Galactic Railroad" by Kenji Miyazawa before playing / buying the game.

i'm finally waiting for my favorite game of my life! it's incredibly beautiful pixel art and pixel animation! This charming game is really crazy! You play the role of a young boy, Giovanni, with the lowest human score, and victim of school bullying, but a genius who is capable of hacking into anything! and one day he has a problem after hacking into a terrible incident and meeting another boy with the highest human score, Campanella, to help you, your goal is to fight to prove that you're a real human being. pros -High pixel art quality -Pixel animation ( also style comic/panel) -Human score system -A very impressive future era -Hack into certain places or things with your computer. -Solve puzzles by hacking -Use your computer (email, chat, photos, social media, dark web) -Beautiful chara design and sprite character animation -Horror scenes (jumpscares, hunting down) -To find save/load you have to use a computer, see “display menu” -Scanner bed for body results -Five or six chapters (note from this developer: The title will be completed with 5 chapters, which will be added with major updates. The price of the base game will be increased in stages as each chapter is added) -Cute achievements And there aren't really many negatives, but there are a few bugs, that's all. Also, I hope that one day, when it becomes popular, it will have several international Western languages! This has become my favorite game of my life, this game is well evolved after many indie rpg games! Every scene made me smile and healed my heart! I highly recommend this game!
