Good Clue Gathering and Dialogue Options
The Prologue to Song of Farca does it’s job well of introducing you to the mechanics and main character. There is just enough to make you want more. The game explains why you can’t leave your house and also does a good job of having tasks you can do remotely to find clues. It is a little simplistic in hacking and accessing systems but to be honest simplicity sometimes is the best way to go. I don’t know if I would have enjoyed it as much had it been as complex as Hacknet. One thing I thought could have been handled better was when you fail dialogue challenges. If you pick the wrong piece of evidence or draw the wrong conclusion then you have to restart the conversation and try from almost the start. Not right from the beginning but still having to sit through the same sentences a few times was annoying. I would have preferred if it just said I was wrong and allowed me to try a different path without ending the conversation. Would that have been any more unrealistic than calling the same person back six times in a row and them repeating the same dialogue ? The art had a great style and felt very “comfy”. I also liked where the story was going. There was a little bit of cringe dialogue due to with identity politics but some of the twists near the end went in a darker route I hadn’t expected. I didn’t feel like I had much choices to make, which for a game that advertises “deal with consequences of your decisions in one of several outcomes” I didn’t get that feeling. Maybe it was more for the full game. I also wasn’t a fan of the note riddle but wouldn’t call it a poor puzzle as much as I would say I just wasn’t a fan of that type of puzzle. I played the Prologue on Linux using Proton. It never crashed on me but I did notice one video that didn’t play properly, it had coloured lines rather than a video. I don’t expect this issue in the full version as it has a Linux version. The game seems to auto save on exit but I’m not sure as it never says when it’s saving.
