BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
crap
Is this the Skyrim of walking sims?
I don’t care to revisit this “game”.
It took me 3 times starting and quitting to finally finish because it was so mind-numbing boring.
One of the most pretentious walking simulators i ever experience, if you have 15 minutes to kill and nothing else to do (that includes not staring at the wall), launch this.
Dunno why you got downvoted, you’re right!
There’s NOTHING to do in this demo, not even the slightest interaction with something. You walk, walk, walk and listen to some ridiculous podcast.
Calling this a game is the same calling me an spaceship.
I don’t mind it, Psydekick looks like a dic*sucker.
This “game” i would give it a pass as the project of some student working in 3D and overall design (it looks pretty, but there’s no interaction at all or dynamic of any kind) but this is been sold, even for free feels expensive cause is wasting my time (the most valuable thing in your life)
Would work better as a short novel i guess, if you want to tell the story and send some message which is nothing mindblowing…but as a game, f*ck no.
Sadly, some folks can’t stand the truth.
This game is f##ken terrible. The only reason to add it to your steam account is if you are one of those ppl that loves to see a massive number of games on their account. If you have 1000+ games then there is no question about it… you own a ton of trash! Enjoy your copy of Dear Esther LOL
