Game 232 - co-open by lowpolis
I picked up this game through the itch.io Bundle for Ukraine. I chose to donate 10 dollars, and I found about 38 games in the bundle that I was actually interested in. So, the consideration for this game will be if it was worth the 26 cents (rounded up) that I paid for it and the hours that I played it for. The bundle has since ended, but I still encourage you to make a donation to the organizations listed here.
What did I think it was at first? Maybe it's a game about running a store!
How was the character creator? None, you're just a lil guy (gender neutral). The character design was pretty cute and everyone has pronoun tags next to their character - I wish I got to make one!
How was the game? Ok, so the first time I played I was like "what's the fuss about?"
You're on your very first shopping trip alone, so I...did the shopping and left. The blocky art style is cute and the music is inoffensive. The art for the little items is cute. Overall, the game took me about 30 seconds.
Then I watched the credits and was like hmm? Until I remembered that my grandmother had encouraged me to adventure!
So, the next time through, I decided to be a lil guy on an adventure. No following societal norms. Do whatever I want.
I went into the stockroom and discovered an icy portal to a snowy wonderland. I climbed a fence and made friends. I ran through the air vents and met an amorphous spirit of consumerism.
The more you explore, the more fun you'll have!
What did I not love? Once I got the gist of the game, I was able to really figure out what the gameplay was - however, it was hard for me to tell when I had seen everything I could see? It's also hard to put things back on shelves if I didn't want to pick them up. I think a little more user interface or like a hint system would be a cool addition here.
At 2 hours and 26 cents, was it really worth it? This was very cute and I quite enjoyed it. I'm sure there are more secrets I wasn't able to find. Worth it for finding it in a bundle, for sure!
