South of the Circle

I dont write long reviews but know its worth trying

good story and characters. takes place i believe during cold war/ soviet nuclear scare. main character is a professor studying clouds and weather pantern. he gets sent to antarctica but all is not as it seems as his psychology ajnd perception of memory gets messy and crazy as he tries to find a way out of antarctica. everything played well, no problem. my only complaint is on gog for achievements. i only got 2 achievement 1 for beating the game and one other 1. all other achievements it didnt give to me. aka for progressing through the acts and doing a few sides things ik i did.

A beautiful game that interestingly blends Cold War paranoia, the 60s, the Mini Cooper, England, Antarctica, past academic research, a Cambridge Five reference, and love. The visual design is simple but pleasing. The voice acting is good. It's basically a walking simulator, but the story in particular is extremely intriguing and the cinematic presentation is successful. Cons: - The interactive choice system is just a big hoax! - There's too much feminist and woke imposition! - The theme that men are bad and selfish is processed! - I tried to include Clara's name in my article since I wrote my academic research with her, but the game didn't allow it! - The end of the game was very meaningless and ridiculous.

I don't know what I was expecting going into this game, but I was absolutely blown away. In those final moments, I could really feel the protagonist's heartbreak.

Should have released this as a short film instead of a game since there is barely anything you can do to affect the outcome, choices are an illusion. The story is passable and would have been less boring if they just focused on the survival aspect instead of trying to inject feminist propaganda into the story which felt out of place and forced.
