A new sci-fi game and "The Tower of Broken Dreams".
It's been a minute, but hello. This was a struggle.
A new games to start off, two games to talk about plus a quick thing to open with:
That said, welcome to CYBERNETIC SEDUCTION: Episode 1 and man, if you are looking for text walls that would make the Ming Dynasty and Donald Trump envious… You found it. Getting through this first hour was painful and there was a small light of hope that teased until I broke and took a break and came back, good thing I did too. The actual meat and potatoes started. I know devs read these, seriously 1Thousand. You will have people missing alot if you dont fix this first hour when you open up the game mechanics and let people be free. It hurt. The exposition dump had my head spinning and the concept is totally cool, you can’t really compare it to anything… like the Matrix and Inception’s love child and Jennifer Love Hewitt is in your brain somehow and Diane Lane and Joseph Gordon Leavitt are your teammates Inceptioning the Matrix is the easiest way to talk about it without spoilers. Renamed of course, but their likenesses are obvious.
For the patient folks, you will be rewarded. First of all, the game play is good after the hour long exposition dump where you are told loads of main ideas but few details. Minigames aren’t a pain and things are straight-forward. After the semi-free roam opens you can manage yourself a bit and talk in the hub. It’s not much, but it helps adjust the flow away from text dumping. After 3 hours, I was finally greeted with a sex scene from one of the women I was being nice too. This was one of the best parts of the game, believe me as a dev, sex scenes are brutal and 1K nailed it here, stand up triple. The sounds were a bit off but it didnt bother me. The music set a bad tone at times and I ended up turning it off and felt better for it.
Overall, I wanna do a thumbs to the side, but I do recommend it. Just be patient, instant gratification isnt this game’s MO.
Now let me get into two games I have been debating on mentioning. First, Tower of Dreams. What a week, I saw this game and saw how much it had alike with Projekt Moon at first and wanted to collab… until I played it. First two chapters, OK. Third chapter: No. I never want to see this game ever again. I wish I could forget this. Yeah. I needed to say it because I didnt think I would find a game that disgusted me nearly as much as Spacecorps XXX, but here we are. No. I am not going to say anymore, because this is all it deserves.

With that said, til next time. Be kind to those who show kindness to you.
