The demo is really promising and I enjoyed playing it.
Think of it as ana advanced point and click investigation with technology.
Also, I felt like playing a more advanced Phoenix Wright (the investigation part).
Defenitely a buy
Pretty ugly design, unintuitive navigation, poor navigation, boring. Top part of screen pointless. No substance/identity of the main character in the demo. Less of a game and more of a visual novel with more clicks. Felt impossible to lose. Not really any point in the demo where you use your brain. Somehow less engaging than danganronpa's gameplay, and also the demo story didn't bring me in at all. I had one stuck point where I clicked everything, read everything, all check marks gained, all evidence collected, seemingly nothing else to do, and I couldn't progress in an accusation.
You can click on drones and security cameras, but you don't acutally see anything through them or move them around. Somehow I'm reminded of a text based adventure but with circles to click.
three out of the five dots in the game summary are these:
hack security systems, personal computers and safes -- you click on them. they open.
rebuild CCTV camera footage -- you click on blurry things. they unblur.
run biometric analyses during questioning -- you look at their heartbeat number, if you even notice it. and didn't even require it in the demo.
I was just bored and strongly disliked how it did it's menu-based gameplay and that's the main source of engagement.
Some paths of dialogs not intuitive at all, so you might be forced to try every single one until you choose the right one. In one place, after you collect the data about the client, it doesn't let you live the window and then switches to the map.
After all I enjoyed the game and wishlisted, to maybe play it one day.
So we play as Farca who is kinda trapped in her apartment with nothing left to do but investigate, The gameplay is nice and fun. The funniest part is trying to get info out of suspects. "You have seen me stealing robodog you were paid to find? Idc it wasn't me".
Also indicating whether person is cis or trans in gender field is nice.
I will wait for sale to buy full game.
If you played even just one adventure point-and-click game in your life and enjoyed it, play this!
The actual game is more of the same - much more of the same - and you will probably like getting involved with the huge world of Farca. It's an interesting world, colourful, diverse, ripe with characters and possibilities.
This is not a fun experience. It's bittersweet, maybe even sad at times. But definitely give the demo a go. It's WELL worth your time.
This will be under 30 minutes. It's worth your 30 minutes, trust me.
