Gameplay
Since the admins did not bother to create a section for this game, discuss it here.
The plot is the story of the protagonist and a mechanical girl, will mysteriously found himself alone in a tent in the middle of the desert Mongolian hills.
Psychedelic.
Yurt, memory loss, the Mongolian steppe, gorgeous flying tram with a colorful Dedkov robot and a vase in the form of a girl. The same robot.
First note the interesting graphic style - and like all simple, and mesmerizing. Populated ancient Yurt, a beautiful steppe, the future. Futuristic design coupled with Mongolian flavor is the original decoration of the project. The game would have been good if you could just walk around the neighborhood. The game is really small, to go there especially nowhere: a Yurt, abandoned amusement Park, Yes car Park trolley. Around these locations and built history.
It's nice that the story also did not disappoint, the farther away the more interesting. But to understand the ending you need to carefully read a variety of Newspapers, letters, etc.
Minus - it's kind of like science fiction, but in fact pseudo science. From the category of General mental background of all the people, nature and the universe that seem to have mind and react to humans. The basis of fantasy rather than science fiction, which is a pity. However, the world has turned out to be really interesting, especially in terms of shifts of consciousness in an artificial body and problems that may arise. That's great.
The second minus - play is not very convenient, save only at certain points (the game is short, not scary). Have problem with mouse: when slowly she move it's like she freezes. But all the technical disadvantages and flaws by the end I forgave.
Well and the main minus - game with cubes. Yes, they are perfectly inscribed in the history, but playing in quest is strange to get such a casual arcade game inside. Annoying. But at least, after changing the external world.
A Russian voice. Great IDA, and my grandfather and the bad of the protagonist. For some reason, all written in English. Either for sales, or in the future really bad.
In General, though not without drawbacks, but a good story with a great atmosphere and interesting picture.
7/10
Pys: want a vase. O_O
