Amazing as expected. I could play a game entirely of the pizza making. So fun!

[h1 ]Yeah so, we're back. I feel like complaining today. Not because I didn't enjoy the experience, I still very much liked it. But just for a change. I know this is my jam so what point is there really in repeating that again and again ? It's more of the same. The main experience does not change much from Off-Peak and The Norwood Suite. You walk-listen-talk your way through the world, look around and maybe press buttons or use some kind of interactable sometimes when you're graced with it. Otherwise buddy get seated because that gameplay is so immersive an ant could work it out. And do you like taking breaks ? Have to walk away and turn off the computer sometimes ? You're in luck, there's still no save function. My first thorough playthrough took me about 2 hours, and the second one to grab my missing achievements took about 45 minutes, so plan for a decent session when going in. That's about it for the complaints, now watch me ramble a bit. The user experience was considered more this time around. Plenty of visual and dialogue related options in the settings as well as a restart button for some reason. One walking speed only now, but you automatically speed up in the outside area so running around and backtracking felt way less frustrating. Also when characters are done with their dialogue and it's about to loop, there is now a VISUAL INDICATOR that made me so happy. Woo. Soundtrack is still banging, not on Spotify so that's a shame. Pizza making is pretty cool, "make-your-own-song" type minigame. Also it's in the continuity. Yeah. Cool. I'll play the next one. And the one after.

CosmoD takes notes from the shortcomings of his last game and builds an immersive surrealist storyline with expert pacing. I wish the game was longer and pieces of the storyline like the HRH fit into the story more instead of just being random parts.

Amazing game... very very different. madder than Frogs, who also loved the game I add. But request a Frog be in the next game. Not a big part or anything. As an extra is just fine,

What I loved about this game in particular was the photo feature. I spent so much time taking photos and organising my album! I love the game so far! Personally, I preferred playing Norwood Suite but a major reason for that was that it felt so different to Off-Peak. Norwood suite had so many twists and turns and it was scary to see events unfold. I love this game but I felt more directionless when playing!
