"Until Then" (2024, pc game)
Until then is a slice of life visual novel/graphical adventure from the philipines (Making it their real big success in this medium), it follows the life of mark, a kinda problematic student.
at the start this game doesn't really have much plot, as I said, it's a slice of life game, it just follows mark talking to people, the strength of the writing is directly proportional to the writing of the characters, and it just so happens that they have some of the best written characters in history. Every character is extremely charismatic (I fucking love cathy) and they also feel very natural
Until then isn't a game that is just trying to force anything to happen, a big part of the game is just talking to your friends. These friends may have problems, dramas, they may be a little bit sad today, a little bit happy today, and seeing a character sad or happy doesn't necessarily mean that they have something to tell us that will transform the plot and the story and whatever. Sometimes, characters are just sad, and given how we don't always point these things out irl, and we're playing from the eyes of mark, who is a human being, mark doesn't always point these things out.
Following the same principles, there are scenes where you are waiting on a train, so you just look at your phone, you look at social media and see the posts and retweets of your friends, these are not essential but they help develop those characters and also create a really nice atmosphere. Nothing here is vital to the plot, but they're just really neat scenes.
In many ways this game goes against chekhov's gun, it has a lot of things that could be called "unecessary" as they don't connect with the plot in any sort of way, but that really makes the game feel alive, the world isn't made for the player. It being SOL really works with this, as they never feels like these section of the games or aditional dialogue drags, the reason you're here and the reason why you're enjoying this videogame is seeing and talking with these characters, so you don't really care if that information is vital to the plot or not
The setting is also fairly smart, even if I think this was accidental. The game is set in the philippines, this is because the devs are from the philippines, but at the same time, if you're not from the pilippines, the setting is familiar yet fresh. It's still a urban area that you've seen trillion of times, but seeing the different currencies and architecture and stuff makes it feel kinda new
Now, without going into much detail, the game DOES get more plot heavy later on, but it still has that slice of life core, those later segments of the game plays like "how would they lifes be if THIS happened", it is also emotional as fuck
I swear I love cathy cathy is the best I want to protect cathy I want cathy to live a good life so you must imagine my face when they just randomly kill her at the end of the first playthrough like they fucking KNEW I was going to be hyper attached to this character and god she is just so fucking well written, constantly hinting at family problems but still being a human being so she doesn't really open up about it and when mark in the later playthroughs does try to engage her with it is just a really painful scene as they don't really fix anything
also yeah the whole paranormal stuff is amazing but as I said it earlier it's good because it's heavily based on that scene of cathy dying which is fucking amazing and it'ss still a slice of life game from start to end
this game is completely and absolutely amazing, it is my GOTY for 2024, and it is in my top 4 videogames of all time

are you willing to try to play gta iii but rather instead of trying to go all crazy and shoot at police like how you did in iv are you willing to actually play the same for the story or nah?
i also want you to try the game "ready or not", idk if i've told you to review this before but yeah, it's like a tactical police fps kinda game where you take down active shooters in a variety of settings. i can't remember if it has a story but it does have lore
I don't have access to black op 6, it has also not been cracked yet, so there isn't any way I can access itsametdze wrote:
do you have access to any of the cod games? if so i think you should try playing a cod campaign. black ops 6's campaign if you can get your hands on it of course, otherwise any cod campaign would be alright with me.
have i told you to play parappa the rapper yet? i reckon its a neat little game you could get done pretty quickly
also, are you willing to watch the first hunger games film?

or do you mean that horror is just a lame genre in general and thats why you refuse to review anything on it
and also what are the kind of games you cover? it's hard as fuck to tell you to review stuff because like 87% of the time you reject it cuz it's not the type of thing you cover. let us know so we know what to give you

I see, how about any of the Judgment series game? I haven't play it myself so I don't know the story yet. Idk if you like psychological since you said you don't like horror but maybe Emesis Blue by Fortress Film on YouTube. The plot quite confusing though because it contains reference from old WW2 medias.Patatitta wrote:

this is a very short vn about mental health problems, it feels bad to talk about this type of games as they often tend to be very personal and basically biographical skipped most of this games, but I do have to say something about tis, so I will keep this short
there is a voice that talks to this character, this voice is supposed to not be real, the voice is the narrator of the game, it's supposed to represent the protagonist subconcious. However, there is a part in this game where it breaks the fourth wall, probably because the dev thought it was cool, which completely breaks the message of the story because we're real so that means that they're not schizo but that they're actually right which wouldn't make a mental illness so like what the fuck
