June 2025
I don't care if you don't like to eat fortune cookies, if you've been lighting up my feed for the past ten minutes about how HUNGRY you are I'm going to click the eat the fortune cookie option. NO you don't have to eat the suspicious one in the box you can open one of the millions of Unopened boxes. NO I'm not telling you to open all the boxes! DONT THROW THE PHONE AT THE WALL YOU AS- Stay has a great a draw with its concept: Tamagotchi but your little digital pal is a kidnapped guy. He waits for you, you say things he likes so you can keep him happy and solves puzzles. Problems: the guy is a piece of work; trust means very little; if he thinks you don't share a "vibe" he might throw the computer at the wall. The puzzles are fun but you might need some background knowledge for some of them. Having the protagonist cut his lifeline for nebulous reasons really hampers things. You would think being put inside a crazy situation would increase your tolerance for others, but that same logic extended to food tolerance has already been answered, this man needs to be saved from himself. Which is ironically is one of the main points of the game. The story is fine enough, but you have to get through some amount of resets due to our digital pal getting caught in dead ends. Overall it doesn't quite meet the scope of what it's selling and the dead ends with how easily you can lose connection with the protag can be frustrating. For a lot of people I wouldn't recommend this, but for those who want to try out an interesting premise and can handle so many resets just to get this man to the end; then this is for you.
