I like the bird drinking water! - Oneway 2025
Pretty quick narrative horror game that, as far as I can tell from my playthrough, doesn't offer different stories based on your choices. I'm not quite sure what the story is, a bunch of souls in purgatory fighting for the afterlife? idk it's only 14 minutes so if you want to play it go for it
*SPOILERS* Pretty interesting, if I had any advice for the dev it would be to add a choice system and indicator at the end that shows you where the questions led you

I like to analyze games from a casual POV to give indie game devs advice and insight on what worked and how to further improve their games.

Huh, well that was neat. The atmosphere is great and I feel like there can be a lot of potential for a full game. While the story is 1,2,3 done you can feel the craft went into the atmosphere and how the story is delivered to you. Still unsure of how the questions connect to our main character or to us, the player, but all in all, if you'd tell me this was a demo to pitch a full game with, I could totally see it.
It's free, so there's that. There's some interesting things going on but I felt like I wasn't involved in the game. Should have just been a VN. I'm not intelligent enough(?) to understand what the point is, but it's not the first game I've seen to tell me someone else did something bad and say "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?" and wag a finger at me. I don't drunk drive, I don't murder people with scissors. This doesn't work on me. Not very psychological. Jump scares aren't bad, didn't need the warning in my opinion.
o jogo no estado atual poderia ser uma demo, mas tem um potencial muito grande e pode se tornar uma obra muito interessante no futuro, definitivamente merece mais olhos
So absolute is the psychological horror element in this game
