Clever and Poetic, if a little pricey.
This game consists of a firreplace and stuff you buy to burn it to stay warm as eternal winter seemingly has set. You receive promotional mail and messages from your neighbor, who's seemingly gone insane, as you calcinate stuff again and again to earn enough coins and stamps to buy more. The plot is light to make room for mood and setting, which switches from a satire of consumerism to existential anguish in a very balanced way. While there is no challenge apart from figuring out the (optional) combos the gameplay is quite addictive and the general mood drags you in, letting you torn between knowing the world is (officially) a glacial mess and knowing it's all pointless, as you detonate suns with nukes within your fireplace, reducing to ash whatever you've bought along (like a fully packed bus and rocketship, weird plushies, internet clouds, tankers, and so many others). There is a kind of puzzle interaction because with enough stamps and the right combinations, not only can you fuel the fire for longer but also turn the flames some pretty colors. This is all for fun though, as the game does not provide you with a time or heat limit, it's all a self-contained experience with maybe even somme commentary on game design (oversimplified, almost like a most mobile clickers and microtransactions (stamps make deliveries immediate). While a little pricey, it's still an interesting experience. I doscivered Tomorrow Corp. with World of Goo, and the brains and style drew me in. I don't regret my purchase at all (sales purchase I'll admit). It's got more interactivity than most "walking simulators", although this is a one-trick story with extremely limited gameplay, however, if you're looking for an original experience with some brains, give it a go, I know I regret nothing.
Hilft dir das weiter?
