    Putting its misguided action aside, The Uncertain is one of the most promising first chapters of an episodic game I’ve seen in ages. Nearly everything about it is polished to a fine sheen, and in its two-hour running time, it manages to tell a compelling story while setting up the pieces for a more epic tale still to come. I eagerly await the next installment, and would encourage anyone with an interest in sober and thoughtful sci-fi to give this first chapter a look.

    The Russian developers of ComonGames seem to build something really good here. Let’s hope they will continue the same way until they complete this much promising game.

    The Uncertain is a broken up diamond that has the potential to shine in the future. Its design, storytelling, graphics, and gameplay are rough and very telling of an Indie Developers first project. But its premise and potential are sky-high, and this first episode ends a note that leaves plenty of room for further improvements and exploration.

    Despite some rough edges and questionable puzzle design, this first of three planned chapters for The Uncertain should hold your interest and leave you anxious for the next episode.

    What a lovely setting for a game, and a potentially intriguing society, as AI develops and perhaps the flaws of humanity begin to be revealed in robotic kind. It could have been a fascinating exploration of the human condition, or just a really nice sci-fi tale. And perhaps it is, somewhere underneath the ghastly sluggish controls and barely comprehensible writing/translation. But this is disastrous.

    This game has an interesting story. However, I didn't like the puzzles much and the gameplay could be better. 4hrs on record.

    I really enjoy adventure and decision based games where the player controls the narrative however, this fell short in my expectations. I likedI really enjoy adventure and decision based games where the player controls the narrative however, this fell short in my expectations. I liked where the storyline was going but it the game doesn’t really amount to anything. I understand that there is some kind of sequel which I am unable to access on Nintendo eshop as I played on Switch. The feature of making choices and giving different answers does not seem to really serve any purpose on the game and doesn’t seem to effect the narrative / storyline what so ever. The camera work could also be awkward at times.

    I think the game had a lot of potential but I felt that I spent a lot of time listening to the RT, the robot, droning on about how pointless human behaviours are without the ability to actually engage with or use objects.

    Fortunately, I picked this up on sale but I wouldn’t probably recommend it.    … Expand
