A walk in the woods, or retracing...

This game is a short point-and-click adventure in mythologythat's obvious, I know.
I can't say much because everything is a spoiler.

Enough said, even with its positive rating it's really underrated.
What can I say, unlike a certain somebody who usually can't give two thoughts to stealing or killing because "It's just a game" -- *cough* -- the characters have emotion.

Jake was an amateur photographer before the war, and during it he holed up in a house. Inside the house were two other people that all did not know each other, Elise and Aster. There was tension, at first, but they soon got over it to survive together. Jake would nightly go out and explore, to get supplies to support themselves and Aster would defend Elise. One night, Jake got caught. He was shot in the arm and soon died as the gunshot wound festered and corrupted. Elise and Aster were left. Aster took Jake's place and one night went out, leaving Elise with a shotgun and some shells. Aster would come back at dawn, to find blood all around the house. Elise was dead, beheaded brutally by the people that Jake was caught by. She took the gun, and said goodnight.

People like to credit Goat Simulator for being the best, well, goat simulator.
That changes with the new revolutionary combat that Dino D-Day brings to the table! You can use rabbits as bait or hurl a goat at others to kill them! Literally -- take that, Goat Sim!

So, I had this game a long time ago. In fact I met the original dev on a site named Google+ yes, people use that site but, you know. The people making the game has indeed changed. And I know, my claim sounds ludicrous,

Anyway, welcome to a game where your character has the metabolism of a rabbit. Yes, you are going to die to starvation a lot. Unless you somehow spawned somewhere plentiful. I don't know, I always spawn in places within 30ft of a zombie. This game has always been fun, excluding the fact that you have to install BattleEye, which on my list is a horrible anti-cheat. I'll say it here, it's better than VAC. Well, this game has always had a weird single player. You character seems to be sandpaper for an esophagus because it's really dry there to possibly die of thirst every 20 minutes. Oh well, this game has always been funny to play.
Multiplayer? Well, play The Walking Dead -- or was it H1Z1 -- and come back. Yes, there are a lot of bandits. So much that they implemented... either one of those games' karma system so you can tell the friends from the fiends. Wait nevermind it doesn't go server to server have fun getting backstabbed.

Stanley, Stanley, Stanley, Stanley, Stanley, Stanley, Stanley, Stanley.

Welcome to the game where the narrator gets your name wrong, always! Unless your name is Stanley, which sadly is a rare thing these days. You play as yourself, tapping buttons on a keyboard whenever a computer tells you to, for the length the computer tells you to.
Welcome to the game where the narrator never actually addresses you! Unless you are indeed a phantasmorgial being, which sadly is a rare thing these days. You play as yourself, a ghost, haunting the narrator for his sins against a man named Stanley.
Welcome to the game where you can play other games in it! Unless in fact you have those games, which sadly is a rare thing these days. You play as [REDACTED], a player of a game, playing games. Enticing.
Welcome to the game where you are the one being played.

So I played this game like crazy before it was greenlit. Had a website, the demo was great. Finally I can say this partially unironically! #Heepstur

Anyway, where do I start with this game. Oh!
Well, this game takes your soul and feeds on it. I'm not kidding there's probably a line in the User-Lisence Agreement that states that your soul belongs to the creator. Wait a sec- incoherent mumbling
What's that? More mumbling
There's no line in the ULA stating that they own your soul? Well they might as well add that there because this game will take your life up. It's addicting and has the unique and great gimmick that the game gets harder by time, literally. Not your games that scale with level, but literal time. So once your difficulty bar reaches the last bit, check your home if your girlfriend is still around. She's not? Good because now you have more time to play!





DISCLAIMER:I do not condone of abandoning your significant other like this, this is all for comedic value

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Hey! I'd like to play a metrodivania game that has an adorable protagonist while actually being mostly platformer?" I'm looking at you, Dust.
No?
Well you'd wish you did because this game is a metroidvania game that has an adorable protagonist while actually being mostly platformer. And let's not forget the characters, ho boy. First 10 minutes you get introduced to your first tritagonistic character and they go they way of Game of Thrones.
"What about villain(s)?" Well, we do have this totally small, adorable, not 100% menacing at all, black-feathered bird chasing you throughout the game. Does that count? Oh and between your character's friend's 10-minute death and their story, I'm sorry bucko the "One liek one pryar" image goes to them.

Do you want to experience a drug trip without the obvious reprecussions?
Are you a suicidal person with epilepsy?
Are you looking for weird games to record so you can expand your YouTube channel that has 20 subscribers and uses Bandicam?
Do you want to have to empty a puke bucket ever 5 minutes?

Yes? Did I hear a yes?




*Price of epilepsy medication not included

Well hidden secrets, unlockables and well-designed levels make this a good game.
The story is told though pictographs, a style of narrative you never see in games any more, it's refreshing to say the least. Heck, the story itself is optional. You don't have to talk or say, look at pretty pictures to the NPCs throughout the game. Except for that pink guy.
See the time I spent playing? Most of it was spent chain-dashing in the Agility merchant trying to get the items. That's how fun the abilities are.
Some parts are pure luck and guesswork though, because there are invisible floors. But it's all fun and you don't have to find them. Heck, I could have easily missed them if I didn't see my companion light up with a question mark!
The enemies are all fun to fight except those crystal spiders and never really a chore to fight them as you go through an already explored area.
The dungeon, ruins, whatever are fun to traverse with interesting mechanics.
Even if you are a PCMR, you need to play this with a controller. It just fits, so well.

Oh by the way, it's like Dark Souls with the dashing and attacking while reminding me slightly of Spiral Knights. But maybe the latter was because of the art style. The bright colours, weapons unlocked, enemies and even safe zone remind me of Cradle. So uh... if you like either, get this now.

The fact that this was created in Unity engine was something I wasn't expecting. Unity, the one most flash games are written in? I don't normally rate the graphics, but I will have to make an exception here because Unity.
The story is a queer thing, just lauches you right into it. No backstory or crazy cutscenes, just story.
What am I saying? Get it now.
