Saw this on Steam, and honestly... Looking at this video and reading about the game, its completely retarded. If I wanted to experience being stood up on a date, I would've called my ex. I just, really have to bash this game. The story is bland, it's like a real-life conflict. The setting, it takes place throughout the bedroom the whole game. It even fails to stand up to movie standards. It's basically playing as a guy who talks to himself. Lame attempts at humor make this game more bash-worthy.
While I won't necessarily say it could truly be considered 'good' as a game, as a point of reflection it's interesting seeing it. Though I guess you have to actually have some sort of connection to what is happening, I'd wager. Having sat through the LP, I'm mildly glad I didn't play through it myself, would have gotten similar cogs turning even faster.
Why does everyone get all huffy like they know everything when it comes to games like this?
People pay over a million dollars for something that does nothing but hang on the wall. I pay up to $30 for a book at the bookstore that I read and plays out in my head. I pay $5 for a visual and emotional experiance that I can actively affect and influence.
If you don't like the idea leave, but don't bother those who do.
@frozenlilies1 it's frustrating seeing people attempt the same kind of branching story structure over and over and achieve only mild success at it
they've been doing this for decades; with this kind of 3D realistically voiced engine it's about like a text adventure... only slower and thus less interactive, because you constantly wait for the guy to finish acting
even if you're new to this stuff it's still frustrating to see dudes ignore the lessons "real" games teach about good control schemes
a very interesting experience, I would like to see more games that aren't just COD or HALO clones, videogames are still a budding art form and it is games like this that truly push the medium forward.
The guy is a freak, sitting there chatting to himself. Why doesn't he phone the bitch and ask her where she is? Why have the romantice meal in the kitchen just inches from the view of the sink And who the hell serves soup before the dinner guest has arrived? She needs to steer clear of him big time.
Why is everything fullbright? His skin needs a minor shadow, just something to make it look better. Right now it looks like a pink pale hand being lit by 30 lightbulbs.
@OddyRedd While point and click would of been better controls, it's a control scheme that removes immersion which is why I think they went purely with keyboard. Flawed, but still a admiral attempt. This "game" doesn't do anything that'd warrant a menu either. It really doesnt do anything like a game would, and just tries being a immersive 20 minute movie.
@OddyRedd No, it's immersive because you actually have to pay attention...well, not really in this case since absolutely nothing happens, but normally it is. If you can zone out and beat a game without paying nearly any attention it isn't immersive.
@Sk2k52 How did that game go? Did it suck? I bet it did.. Thanks for saving me ca$h... I could have wasted 5 dollars for something that looks boring...
@Sakari909 It's more of a experience than a game. Pretty much all you can do is Nudge the char to doing things he'll always do, exactly as he does it. Interesting concept, but it's not really a game.
u see when the door bell rings he meets his date and then the last minute is after his date. if u guys didnt know that

@MinecraftPodcast101 Actually it was his neighbor knocking, that's why he was cussing "fucking neighbors" on his way back to the kitchen.

It's not a game. It is a movie. There is no goal. Nothing. DUMB.
Thanks for the video though, saves me the playthrough xD

Let me list two control schemes that would work better.
1. Point 'n Click
2. Menu System
And you know what? I bet there are flash games somewhere that do that for this type of game.

@Sk2k52 The immersion you speak of is bubbles on screen with pictures of action in them and a letter. That's not immerive, that's distracting.
