Phoning Home

fairly sold narrative driven adventure of collecting resources to advance through. Offering it for free was a good way to get me to try it and i recommend it for everyone looking for a casual time waster

i've not yet completed the game, but for what i can see in few hours, i can say that gamers complaining about Unity are just ignorant. Games like Dreamfall or Phoning Home or few others show how you just need something good to work on, and a decent skill level to create a great game, sadly there are a lot of INDIES, that are just survival or exploration and crafting, but less than 5 % have a decent plot. Well Phoning Home HAS an amazing plot, and wandering around just to listen to comments between "your AI, pragmatic, logical and the ANI AI, emotional, totally driven by ideals", is the core of the game. Also there are the comments of ANi and the fact that you may have to carry "her" around but the idea is that you need each other, if you want to PHONE HOME so be a gentleman and take care of the lady. This is not a crafting game or a survival game, they are just a way to tell you a story, if only No Man's Sky had a plot even half of this one on one single planet............... about AAA title with a "Super Frostbite Engine", :-), a very empty amazing shell? and those are just 2 big space titles that can only clean the shoes to Phoning Home, at least in terms of writing and storytelling. I could go on but my coffee machine is claiming me.

thouse of you that are tierd of the same old shooter games . this game is full of advintur and sapince with out bullets. refreashinmg....

a simple exploration game with relaxing vibes

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU USE AN XBOX ONE CONTROLLER!!! The game does not work correctly with an Xbox One controller, and therefore is unplayable for me. First, under the Controls menu it's impossible to navigate to the various control options. The left and right sticks do not work in the Controls menu. The only way I can change options is using the mouse. Then when trying to set options using the mouse it's looking for input from the controller. At this point it does accept input from the controller. So, I complete this process to set my controller options, and I started the game. But in-game when I press the left stick forward it goes backward and vice versa. Also, pressing left stick left moves right and pressing left stick right does nothing. So, I tried all possible options in the Controls menu (tedious as that was). But literally no combination of Control options ever worked. I assume this is unique to XBox One controllers. Regardless, this game is totally unplayable due to the serious bugs in the controller support.
