A Memorable Mess
This game intends to capture the absurdity of human behavior after a world-shattering disaster by being an absurd caricature of survival adventure games. Many design choices are limited in scope: you will walk around the districts of a fictional Japanese city, trying to escape a crumbling city after a devastating earthquake and find safety, and making many acquaintances with NPCs along the way. The game is janky, awkward, even poorly made and, speaking plainly, "bad." But the game has such a heart, such a willingness to see its weird ideas to its end that it will encourage you to see more. Sadly, the game will leave you wanting more. The characters you meet are not realistic - they are soap-operatic, but so appropriate, given other contexts and aspects of the game and plot, that the whole thing, the story that you, the player character, can determine along with the destinies of characters that you will affect, sort of feels brilliant in the end. This is central to the game: the adventure and narrative direction of the people you meet at the moment their lives might be shattered and forever altered. How should they react to such a fearful situation? Do you agree with their behavior and motives? What kind of person will you prove to be? How do you meet the moment that might change your life forever? Disaster Report 2 (or Raw Danger) is the more impressive game. The scenarios are more grounded and the gameplay is appropriate for the situations of a catastrophic rain storm and flood in that older game. Disaster Report 4 swings and misses in more areas of the final product. It is less fun, not as tense, the stories of the different characters do not overlap and are by all means pretty underwhelming. But Disaster Report 4 carries a charm and willing cleverness and irreverence that makes it worth checking out if one can stomach a very awkward, head-scratching experience.
