We not making it out of the dream on this one 🔥🔥 A horror game not overusing jumpscares every single minute. Honestly it could be confusing jumping into this game when you’re not familiar with culture around death in South East Asians countries. But trust me it is a worth while experience in story telling, as a bonus you get to know how different western and eastern urban legends are from each other. Might as well say some things in Vietnamese while I’m at it Giọng chú Nguyễn Ngọc Ngạn trên nền nhạc lofi cực chill. Thực sự đây là một sản phẩm mà mình thấy là đáng được vào danh sách 1 trong những tựa game hay nhất được làm tại Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên nó cũng có vài khuyết điểm như mọi con game khác thôi. Nếu game muốn mở rộng đến thị trường phương Tây hơn thì mình nghĩ nên có một vài thứ nên được chỉnh sửa lại. Chẳng hạng trên phân đoạn Nối từ sau khi bị kéo vào ác mộng thì cơ chế này rất khó để người chơi nước ngoài có thể làm quen vì đây là điều mà chỉ có ngôn ngữ Việt của chúng ta làm được. Và nếu có thể thì mình cũng nên có một trang thông tin giải thích tất tần tật về những yếu tố quan trọng của game (vì lí do kể trên mỗi nơi có một văn hóa riêng nên mình nghĩ nếu có một nơi để kể về văn hóa của mình nó sẽ rất là thú vị, nhỉ?). Mình chỉ nói về hai thứ chính mình để ý thôi chứ mình liệt kê hết thì chắc ngồi viết cả ngày mất :v But most importantly, have fun!

For me, Tai Uong is an outstanding game that is definitely worth experiencing. As a Vietnamese person, I find that the cultural details woven throughout the game resonate deeply with my personal experiences, making the narrative feel both familiar and meaningful. The way the plot unfolds through radio broadcasts is particularly intriguing; it creates a unique atmosphere and allows players to engage with the story in a dynamic way. However, I've noticed that many first-time players, especially foreign gamers, often skip these segments, which can lead to confusion about the plot and may discourage them from continuing their journey in the game. I've come across discussions regarding lag and game crashes, but in my personal experience, I’ve encountered minimal lag and no crashes at all. Considering that the game is currently in Early Access, I believe these issues are relatively minor and manageable. It’s also encouraging to see how receptive the developers are to player feedback, which indicates their commitment to refining and completing the game. This responsiveness is especially impressive given the size of their development team. In summary, I wholeheartedly believe that Tai Uong is a game worth exploring. The growth of Vietnamese games is truly exciting, and I’m eager to see how this title develops in future updates. I look forward to what the next installment will bring.

Absolutely amazing. As a Vietnamese myself, the game is not only relatable, but it offers a wonderful storyline that is easy to follow and is prominent in many families. It's tragic and it feels like a mystery you're solving as you continue to play. This game, although is in Early Access, feels like a completed game. The graphics, story, stage designs, all feel amazing. Please take the time to play this game.

I have finished the Early Access content. Here are some of my thoughts: 1. The storyline is quite engaging and interesting, but predictable (and the predictability here is a strength). It’s engaging and interesting because the story is told through "short ghost stories on the radio," from the perspectives of various characters. The "predictability" comes from the fact that after carefully listening to the short stories on the radio, I was almost able to piece together the complete narrative. Regardless of whether I guessed correctly or not, this was quite a solid experience, as it prevents players from feeling too overwhelmed by overly complex plots. 2. The graphics are decent compared to the overall standard. While it’s not exactly smooth or dazzling, the color tones in the game are haunting enough. The architectural and object details fit the cultural backdrop of both old and modern Vietnam. 3. The sound is decent, nothing outstanding yet, but the 00:00 track at the beginning of the game is really haunting and impressive. Another plus is that the character dialogues feel very realistic, casual, and "raw," reflecting elements of real life. It made me feel both comfortable, as I was immersed in an everyday atmosphere despite playing a game, and haunted when I imagined that the world around me could be just as terrifying
