    this video made me realize i had no idea how to spell raccoon. turns out there's two Cs?? but autocorrect still accepts one?? wild.

      I know i'm 7 months late but the 2 c's spelling of raccoon is the US English version while the 1 c spelling is the UK English version

      @@Incogneato Very true. First three acts are excellent and beautiful, very well written. Last 2 acts are rushed, only happening in previous location or barely any background (the box/container) and quite... idiotic at times. Really disappointing.

    I just went through it after waiting like 6 months. Its story leave much to be desired. None of the plot points ever get filled in.

      Totally agree, it was a huge letdown, starts off amazingly and then everything is left aside, seems like the later part of the game was rushed.

    The writing of this game completely falls off during the third act. The stealth and puzzle mechanics are completely forgotten after the prologue. $25 dollars for a game that can be finished in about 4 hours is also a really steep price to pay. Even though there may be many different types of dialogue choices, the outcome ends up being the same, and there are way too many questions left unanswered by the end of the game that it was just disappointing.

  • @Glue_Eater06

    So your dialogue doesn't affect the story but rather how it's told, that's interesting

    • @Cleverconveyence
      @Cleverconveyence 3 роки тому +7

      that's a really good way of putting it. you can have a story to tell and still make it feel personal. I think EggNut threaded the needle there well enough. I walked away satisfied.

  • @mauriciomorali5392
    @mauriciomorali5392 3 роки тому +11

    I already finished the game and I have mixed feelings, I have to say I love the visual part of this game (beautiful!), and the music is great. On the other hand I have an issue with the story, if you finished it then you know what I mean. It's not just where the story goes but it doesn't seem to be the full game they were aiming for, there are things hinted in the trailer that doesn't appear in the game so it makes me think they had to cut the game short for some reason. I still think its a game worth playing but this issue I mentioned was a huge turn off for me.

  • @tauskicombat
    @tauskicombat 2 роки тому +2

    I'm not sure if it's the correct interpretation or lack of planning and time, but I kinda feel like the lack of branching effects from the dialogue is part of the point. The idea that we are set on a track dictated by society and class being the course of the whole plot is interesting to me.

    I wasn’t to happy with the ending are there different endings or does it always end the same way?

  • @verminatum
    @verminatum 2 роки тому +1

    the game on itself is great: good gameplay, a really good story and somply great characters, it holds much potential.
    The problem is, this partially got threw out of the window.
    It feels like that presentation you made for school, that you rushed because you hadn't time to finish it. It feels like the developers were just out of time, or money.
    The finale is mysterious, which is good, but it left too many questions unanswered. What happens with Eerie, and the apes ? You basically do nothing and get out of the wall cities to die, without any explanation nor any sequel to be seen...

      it's not as unrelenting or as truly free, but it does scratch the itch in some ways. like if disco is bare skin to backscratcher, backbone is your partner scratching an itch over a thick shirt.

    @doifhg 3 роки тому +3

    For me the price was fine, 20 bucks ain't nothing really. I've spent more money on worse games, and the art is very impressive. But honestly the way it falls apart by the end is a let down, and I was pretty bummed finding out nothing changes after another playthrough even though dialogue was different, mostly because it felt there wasn't any story payoff. I can imagine the world were things were different and it would've blown a lot of people away, but as is does feel like it fell pretty short, which is dissapointing because I'd been waiting to play this for some time

      It seems like you're commenting something from your subjectiveness. And I respect that. But, do you know that an anthropomorphic animal is, by definition, a furry too?
