Absolutely underwhelming and messy
Having read the "most helpful" reviews and seeing that the game was on sale I decided to give it a go. I havent played any games from Pendulo studies before but calling this "polished" is overselling it. The pros -> the artstyle and how unpredictable the game was at times. The tip system. The negative -> Honestly most other things. The game just doesnt feel finished. Audio is missing all over the place. The game was completely quite so often I thought it was bugged. I still dont know.. but why wouldnt they have a gun shot sound when guns are used? Story parts isnt there, for example suddenly a character shows up and given 1 sentence on why they decided to join you. Why not have a proper conversation or scene with them before? There are many story elements that are missing as well. The guy learn certain skills and they never shows us the process. This seems odd. They also use these skills just once so it doesnt even feel like a proper part of the character. More like a "get out of jail free card". Another example is how the characters speak about most of the story instead of us playing them. Most characters are odd at best with little depth. The story and some characters are interesting as well as certain ideas but needed way more time to be built up. The climax comes too early and is not satisfying. I bought this game and the "Yesterday origins" on a sale so I really didnt pay a lot for them. Id recommend buying on sale if you truly are desperate for an adventure game but else id sit this one out. The company has good ideas but this game needed way more time.
Is this helpful to you?
