Go Home Annie: An SCP Game

Great first half, terrible second half

I really enjoyed the first half of the game, sure it's full of jank, but you're working in an SCP facility and it's full of mystery. There were also several SCPs to be found -- I don't know if they were original, but I enjoyed reading them. The second half of the game takes place outside and virtually every aspect of it is tedious and annoying. The bathroom maze can eat my whole butt. I was going to give it 3 stars, but the ending was so bad I removed one. Get it on deep sale.

Comedy is subjective

The tough thing about games aiming for comedy is that it's super subjective and in this one none of the jokes landed. This writing was ok if a bit on the dumb side. No puzzles beyond simple item combining. Voice acting was decent. Most of the game consists of talking to people until new dialogue options open for previous people then talk to them and repeat. 2.5 stars

A fun little point & click

First off: thank you for including a demo, I likely would not have bought this without one. Linux: ran without issue This was a fun little game with decent writing. They do a great job of capturing the mood of good noir. There was only one puzzle (the drunk guy) where even after looking up the answer I still couldn't figure out. The ending was kind of a mess, but I enjoyed getting to that point. Well worth the $10 I paid for it. Grade: B

A Great Little Game

I very much enjoyed my time with this with the writing getting waaay darker than I was expecting from a flower game. My *only* complaint is that some of the encyclopedia descriptions are very vague leading to several instances of wildly guessing. This does only happen a few times though. Grade: A-

Great fricken game!

I really enjoyed this game. It's a nice little 3d exploration based metroidvania. My only complaints about the game are that it didn't feel long enough and that you level up a bit too fast which takes away from the rewards for exploration once you max your level out. Well worth the price! 8/10

I really enjoyed this

The game has a decent story that feels very old-timey-folklore. The game has a scary atmosphere without being oppressive and utterly hopeless. There's some light item scarcity which means you're not going to run around fearless because nothing is unlimited (that said, I never ran out of anything). You do some backtracking, but you've got a little car that makes it a breeze (no gas to worry about either). It's not the best game I've ever played or anything, but I feel like it's exactly what it was setting out to be. 10/10

Awesome Pixel P&C

I've played all of Wormwood Studios games, and while they're not the best in the business, they're always high quality and never lacking in heart. The story does get a bit cuckoo bananas throughout, but I never felt like they were just throwing stuff in to be weird. Everything felt very grounded in terms of the world, as bizarre as it could be. As always, the voice acting is top notch with at least one voice you'll certainly recognize from other Wormwood/Wadjet games. I didn't necessarily feel like the story was wrapped up as well as I'd hope, so I'll take off half a star. 4.5 stars and I'm looking forward to whats next.

A pretty game that doesn't feel good

When you have a gameplay that is like 90% platforming, you'd better ensure the controls feel good. They don't. The character feels floaty and some of the collision detection was terrible. There were several places where I had to keep redoing something because suddenly my character would just fall through the platform, or wouldn't grab a wall, or after being hit would fire in a random direction at 100 miles per hour. There was virtually no reason to explore as 99/100 times you'd only find an animal to pet. Also: Text. Displays. At. It's. Own. Speed. I'd read every message about 5 times before the next one would appear. Cardinal sin in my book. That said. It's very pretty.
