Trying to be a deep and symbolic narrative experience, its use of pre-made assets bought off the Unity store and a total lack of narrative or thematic coherence means that any story, no matter what it may be, is completely lost.
It doesn't in any way resemble a professional product you should give your money to. Whether it be the shoddy English translation, the aforementioned asset flipping, the numerous graphical errors, or just the simple fact that absolutely nothing makes any sense, this resembles something you'd find on Newgrounds in the early 2000's as opposed to an allegedly complete game you'd buy on Steam in 2015, except Newgrounds games are at least a bit more functional and usually contain some nudity for your troubles if you're into that sort of thing.
All that being said, though, this game is hilarious. The best thing you can say about it is that it's short enough that you can set out an hour to play this thing (assuming it doesn't crash multiple times as it likes to do) and return it to Steam for a refund of however little they're charging for it these days, because as horrible as this game is, you owe it to yourself to slog through it.
The absolute moon logic and LSD-fueled adventures on display here are just astounding. There's a point at which the game "ends", only for it to start up again right after. By the climax, the developer apparently forgot the main character's name (though it seemingly happened earlier than that, given everyone went from calling him Peter to P to eventually Ted) and just swapped his name for the bully character to draw some parallel to Ted Bundy for...a reason, I assume. And the rabbit.
But honestly, it's probably easier to just watch someone else play it's. There's at least a few people have it up on YouTube, and it is an experience. According to the developer, there's apparently some truth to all of this in that they were bullied in school, but whatever kind meaning or message we're meant to take from this whole ordeal is utterly lost between the unbridled laughter and the uncomfortable glances towards the Overwatch launcher whenever something boring/"serious" happens.
This game didn't achieve much, but it earned these two stars. Be proud of that, Morphine, since you were apparently not proud enough of this story you wanted to tell so badly to put any actual effort into making models, playtesting, programming, learning story structure, understanding symbolism, or translating things accurately. We can press F to piss, though. That was pretty great.
Also the morphine doesn't show up until about the end. That's some bait and switch right there.… Expand
