An strange first couple holiday travel., June 18, 2022

English & spanish review,


Man, it's okay for me to say so: A "roller coaster" game of emotions between the protagonists, their current history, their past life and their nearest future. Immersive, very well written, polished, long, seems replayable (I'll confirm that later). It contains a series of very well worked photos, they change their appearance between day and night; the text is assigned a color for each character and also becomes chaotic when the character falls apart psychologically.

Two notes: at some point we change characters and the texts are aligned on the screen, with different fonts and sizes, making them very easy to read.

We are discovering the story through exploration and conversation that gives us more or less direct and more or less disruptive options. The duration of the game according to MB is one hour, although it took us 2 hours to read all the texts aloud and choose the options among the 3.

A detail: Good people are not us. :smiley: and the fact is that the game tells us about asymmetric relationships, the problems of uprooting, climate change, but also about the myths and legends of northern Spain.

In short, we are faced with a very fun game, which will make us think "in another way" depending on our personal relationship with the character, since through choices, it will end up becoming our avatar. It is more a game of whiskey than beer, better to play it at sunset in a quiet and unhurried place.

Hombre, está bien que lo diga yo: Un juego "montaña rusa" de emociones entre los protagonistas, su historia actual, su vida pasada y su futuro más cercano. Inmersivo, muy bien redactado, pulido, largo, parece que rejugable (eso lo confirmaré más tarde). Contiene una serie de fotos muy bien trabajadas, cambian de aspecto entre el día y la noche; el texto tiene adjudicado un color para cada personaje y además se vuelve caótico cuando el personaje se desmorona psicológicamente. Dos notas: en algún momento cambiamos de personaje y los textos van alineados por la pantalla, con diferentes fuentes y tamaños, haciéndolos muy fáciles de leer.
Vamos descubriendo la historia a través de la exploración y la conversación que nos da opciones más o menos directas y más o menos disruptivas.

La duración del juego según MB es de una hora aunque a nosotros nos llevó 2 horas al leer en voz alta todos los textos y elegir las opciones entre los 3.
Un detalle: La buena gente no somos nosotros. :smiley: y es que el juego nos habla de las relaciones asimétricas, los problemas del desarraigo, el cambio climático pero también de los mitos y leyendas del norte español.

En definitiva nos encontramos ante un juego muy divertido, que nos hará pensar "de otra manera" dependiendo de nuestra vinculación personal con el personaje, ya que mediante elecciones, se acabará convortiendo en nuestro avatar. Es más un juego de whisky que de cerveza, mejor jugarlo al atardecer en un lugar tranquilo y sin prisas.

A lovely story intriguing to share in company., April 21, 2022

MA TIGER'S TERRIBLE TRIP

Congratulations Mo Travis, you have got it.
I have played the game with my son twice for two hours, second playthrough tables turned.
My son has a Harvard's C1 english qualifing but we have had to consult the meaning of some words in the dictionary. Your writing are polished, cult and lead to a n interesting inmersive attention.

About the game: It hit the goal you marked with high note.
Just from the beggining you receive a letter from some people that want to meet you. This encounter will lead to make some questions and the needing of also give some answers on your own.
The story is inmersive since the cery first choices. Is a serial of twisty ways to show little by little first the relationship between the players and afterwards the plot of the story by itself.
[spoiler]The timed part of the game where you have to choice between five options about life and dead maked me to be in a bit exquisite excited status[/spoiler]

The server program works fine, avoiding the interchange of codes between player as in The Last Night of Alexisgrad that you mention in game's description. This handshacking is doing properly by the game itself.

I thing this game should be played by all the adventurers between them or with some people around. They will like the gameplay.
Also point at the fact that this game is full replayable.
