★★★★★ Nice Atmosphere, Limited Story
Tue Feb 06 2024 PointandClickFanThe positives of this game definitely revolve around its atmosphere, and its ability to recreate the oppressive, tyrannical world of 1984. You can tell the environments were hand crafted, and I enjoyed each reference to the book. I also liked the system of having 30 days, so you felt like you had to live each day and survive under the eye of Big Brother.
With that said, the story is extremely limited. Yes, the characters in 1984 had to be careful about when they spoke, but they still had plenty of conversations. In this game, you go from saying one sentence to Julia at work, to complimenting her eyes twice, to suddenly she’s removing her clothes.
There’s no buildup for anything that happens, events just happen suddenly and you either survive and the game ends, or you’re caught by the Thought Police and the game ends. It’s nice that there’s different endings, but again, the endings are so abrupt that there’s not much motivation to replay to see them all.
Overall, I would only recommend this game to big fans of 1984, because the recreation of that world is where most of the enjoyment comes from.
★★★★★ Banger
Sat Jan 07 2023 TheblavkscarfaxeHaven’t even got to half an hour of game play and I am absolutely at awe at how good this game looks, sounds and plays. You truly will feel immersed with in a few minutes of game play. I can’t tell that there was a load of effort to create this game.
★★★★★ Needs more
Sun Jan 22 2023 GoldenPurpleguyThere’s such a small amount of atmosphere that it becomes dreadfully repetitive. You do the same thing every day and going to work seems awfully tedious for no apparent reason. There’s no opportunities to go out to a pub or see things in downtime. That brings me to the time management there’s some days i can only do one or two things before work and it becomes less of a game mechanic and feels like more of a bug. Lastly, it appears that my grandfather has no need to eat food, ever. Other than that good game just needs a little expansion and a good old polish.
★★★★★ I like it
Fri Dec 13 2024 QuSloanDefinitely different from other games I’ve played with similar concepts. I like this way more even though I’m just getting started I can tell it’s super interactive and has a deep storyline.
★★★★★ This game is a masterpiece
Sat Feb 11 2023 Dema9o9uehutqIncredible game. Amazingly designed and intuitive. No tutorial given and none needed. This game plays like life. A snipet of life in a terrible place. This is a game I will be recommending to friends for years to come.
★★★★★ Amazing but game ruining bug
Mon Jan 22 2024 NigboyFaG0Great game, loving it so far. Only issue that is why I cannot give this game 5 stars is because on day 17 on the train ride home from work the game keeps crashing causing me to lose progress and have to restart only for it to keep happening
