This game is completely incomprehensible. I have no idea what it's trying to say. Did an AI both generate the ideas and write the entire script?
There is so much text dedicated to commenting on vague events and happenings that aren't actually shown. For example, there's so much dedicated to weird, out of the ordinary events happening in day-to-day life, and I couldn't tell you what a single one of them was.
The plot beats don't seem to connect at all. The main character will ask himself 50 questions but is entirely incapable of making any individual decisions and has to have someone else make them for him. For example, alternating between whether or not the free chatting app was shady or not, or whether the person on it was shady or not. Meanwhile, the plot speeds along as if what's being described entirely in text (in this video game, mind, something that is supposed to be a visual medium where things can be shown and portrayed) is crystal clear.
Obviously with the title in mind, this game wants to say something about Asians, but I have no idea what. The main character constantly worries about whether or not he's grouping all Asians together, and if that's racist or not, and then at the very end of the game, he decides he hates Japan, and then becomes an outcast for it???
This seemed like such an unusual idea for a game, but now that I've played it, I have even more questions than I went in with. Nothing was answered. |:
Thank you for your time to play & review!! Your critiques are really good.
The game wasn't the best idea, the quality is low because I broke my hand half-way through and posted without revising the script or artwork. lol
It's supposed to be a plot that is confusing and you can put your own conclusions on, but it's too long to keep focus and too short to make sense still I think. It's just a thing to eat at the brain for 10 minutes.
To answers all your questions;
It's based on reality, basically I got doxxed by some guy online and a bunch of creepy people started showing up to me irl (uhh, mostly asian people showed up which is how I knew something was different, but my sister kept on calling me racist for saying it's odd ... my manager almost hit me acting like I was part of a wave of spies, dude ... ) and my friend who deals with some guys who are in gangs also got doxxed so that was a huge mess ... I got really mad this hurt him and made a game about all of it. Not sure why I picked the plot points that I did. Haha.
I hope my hand is healed by next week so I can make some actually cool games. Thank you again for your time~
