Dec. 2024

This game feels somewhat incomplete unfortunately, but I still loved it regardless and want more of it! I really love the game's entire concept: the story premise is interesting and combined with certain odd events that the player encounters, I found the plot even more intriguing. The world-building is very chaotic yet captivating, especially during the first few playthroughs I just kept getting surprised over and over again. I didn't expect the events to actually be so random and even wild at times. Technically the story is pretty gloomy but gets often presented as a dark comedy sort of, due to the sarcastic writing / choice of words, which I honestly found quite entertaining. I particularly liked that I could still feel the somber atmosphere despite the lighthearted/relaxing tone of the game. The endings are possibly even weirder than the usual events and I loved them too for that, I'm just disappointed that they're all very short and serve as open endings, which on one side makes sense lore-wise but on the other hand the lack of conclusion left me even more curious and eager for more. I guess here I was hoping to at least get more information on the setting, since the world-building was overall not detailed enough for my likings but unfortunately a lot of questions got left unanswered. However I must say that I fully adored the direction of the true ending, despite its lack of details. The soundtrack is very pleasant and catchy, though it would've been great to have a broader variety, especially to support certain atmospheres. The art however feels very fitting to me, I love how it's beautiful and still has that "fuzzy" artstyle at the same time. It adds to the strange, blurred and uncanny vibes, in my opinion. Now about the gameplay itself: at first it took me an embarrassingly long time to get into the game mechanics and be able to reach any ending but once I managed to recognize the patterns, it got significantly less difficult. The gameplay success highly relies on luck though, hence one mistake can instantly ruin the entire playthrough. Despite it being frustrating at times, I still found the game very addicting and couldn't bring myself to quit no matter how often I died lol. I'm not very sure why exactly I enjoyed the game THAT much, but I think it's fun and has a great story!

A really comfy roguelike where you have to .......... well, luck is pretty much the name of the game but it's pretty funny. The art is cute, and the story has some scattered plot of nonsense, which fits a Wonderland fan like me. ... I couldn't really tell you what the main plot is because so much happens with little explanation, but it's just silly to go through. Art is really cool. I wish it were a bit longer. I got mugged by a goose and I'm proud of the fact I beat a 10% chance to subdue it before it got away. For the cheap price, it's worth it.

June 2024

This game is pretty interesting. The events are at random and some events are just there to screw you up. I didn't know "Give up" is the progression system so I just went blindly one or two times. The ending 4 is brutal tho. The story is okay. The bgm is catchy at first but I got tired of it pretty first. However, the silent when you hit 0 in one stats is deafening. The plot twist tho caught me off-guard.

June 2024

Nice simple game. Only a single soundtrack and a handful of options for the story to progress. The story sets in the same universe as Sunset Routes, but will take some effort to reach its endings and unlocks the necessary pieces of information. Love the game's artwork, creates a vague feeling which actually fits nicely for the game's plot.

March 2024

It's a short and simple game, the gameplay might not be for everyone, but the world-building and artworks are beautiful. I especially like the subtle way of telling the story and showing the world.
