July 2024

A short but quirky fun time. If you enjoy games like Stanley Parable, meta-narrative and fourth wall breaking type stuff, and a bit of a creepy vibe reminiscent of Portal, I highly recommend this. It's short, but it's to the point and has an interesting narrative with a good sense of humor. Kinda wish there was more story bits and information on certain elements, which I will not spoil here, but overall this is a fun time. Good job to DevBeef, and I am definitely looking forward to your all's next project.

I bought this on a whim because I enjoy playing Horror/Mystery. Simulation/Walking games. Mystery and puzzle games. This is a good "Comedy" game akin to Stanley Parable, not as long as it, but a wonderful experience. I bought this not knowing it was on sale, I wish I could give full price to the Devs. I spend a little over 3 hours on this to 100% it. Not a let down in any way and looking forward to the next game they produce. 10/10.

I got this game to scratch the itch I had after finishing The Stanley Parable. Very similar idea but in my opinion, the actual story was much more straightforward than TSP. Game was short, but any longer would have taken away imo. Overall I played the whole thing in 1 sitting and really enjoyed it (:

Title_Pending is done and dusted. I’d say it’s fair to call this a Stanley Parable - like. But, this game takes a more dark humor meets horror type of approach despite being light-hearted, lol. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3141929913 I won’t really dive into the story too much. You’re a game tester, and both you and the game’s development lead realize you’re both trapped in the game. You are the playtester and the development lead is the narrator. So…you try to find your way out of the game. And that’s about as much as should be said, as diving deeper into the story will be spoiler territory. The game is pretty hilarious, as you would expect from a game inspired by The Stanley Parable, and it actually does a great job of initially encouraging (while vocally discouraging) exploration, but then, as the story unfolds, it does a great job of not making you run around blindly, trying to guess what to do next. I appreciated this two fold approach. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3141929439 The graphics were a mix of bland office graphics with pretty cool looking areas outside the office. The gameplay is pretty simple and effective. It’s more or less activate various objects (or potentially destroy them) while running around the game. So, very Stanley, and very familiar to fans of walking simulators as well. The audio is stellar. The video game world was really vibrant, and the voice acting itself was top tier. The narrator was pretty amazing, and the small bits of other voice acting was very well done also. Obviously, breaking the fourth wall is a big part of this game, and additionally, the game will intentionally boot you once, and then later, after you get the “Thank you for playing” screen, it’ll also close the game for you. Which is the a final nod to the story, lol. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3141929547 It hasn’t received a Steam Deck verification as of this writing, but it is fully Steam Deck compatible. Normal joystick movement, L3 to run, Y for flashlight, R2 to interact, and A when it asks for the space button. I played on my couch with my charger plugged in, so I didn’t test battery life. There were zero issues with the game using default settings. No bugs to report. I bought Title_Pending during this past Steam Winter Sale for $3.99, and cost vs value is absolutely there at that price. It took me a little less than two hours to finish the game, but you could probably get a second playthrough in, exploring a few more options and going for the 100% blind. I quite enjoyed this one and definitely recommend it. If you found this review helpful and would be interested in supporting my Curator group, Robilar's Reviews, it would be appreciated.

A really fun-filled romp through an unfinished game. As a play-tester, you have the privilege of being the first to play an as-yet-untitled adventure under the tutelage of lead developer Matthew Stanton. Like most development projects, things do not go as planned and you have the option of following instructions, or not. The game play consists of trying various paths and listening to Matthew's reactions to your progress and approach. The dialog is clever and the voice acting is just perfect. Plan to do a lot of short, repetitive runs through various sections of the game as you attempt to find the true end. Also prepare to be surprised when Matthew loses control of the process and it is "game on!" Achievements are fun, the one puzzle is easy, and the environment is fairly small. Thus, multiple times through will not take you long and you are sure to discover something new if you just keep opening doors and taking new hallways. My only complaint (and it is a small one) is a 'skip' option for dialog would have been nice. Since the game requires trial and error, there are sections that I repeated quite a few times. Some had extensive dialog that I grew weary of. The first couple of times through were fun, and then I began using repetitive dialog as a cue for me to refill my coffee. I enjoyed Title_Pending very much and would highly recommend it to those who relate to games like The Magic Circle or Backfirewall_ (although this one is much shorter than either).
