The Silver Case

feels like a chore, not a game

This game involves typing long words into a primitive interface, but you can't just type the word with your keyboard, you have to select each letter of the alphabet by scrolling through all the letters of the alphabet with an arrow key, one letter at a time. The puzzle solving amounts to typing these words into a decoding panel, getting a gibberish code out of the decoding panel, and then retyping that gibberish into the first panel. This is not challenging, it's just boring busywork. I would not stay at a job that required me to do this mindless crap -- why would I do it for fun? If the storytelling was compelling, I might stay, but my teammates are one-dimensional and have no personality, and I can't even see them on screen. They are supposedly in the room with me as I solve these puzzles, but you can't see them -- you wander through bland empty environments your teammates are supposed to be in with you, but they are invisible. The music is an incredibly repetitive loop, and when I tried switching from the remixed music to the original music it sounded exactly the same. The game tries to give an impression of being visually interesting by having random words flash in various parts of the screen, which just clutters the interface. I loathe this "game" and wish I had tried it before it was too late to get a refund.
