Bangkok Story: A Stray Dog

What a journey... 😭 I am completely overwhelmed by the stories and characters in this game. I cried like a baby, and honestly, I couldn't recommend it enough. Huge love and thanks to everyone who worked on and created this game. 🎮❤️

это передача сдохни или умри и сегодня мы будем выживать бездомным челом в бангкоке нас будут бить все подряд, когда мы будем ложиться спать то нам будет сниться умершая мать, а в флэшбеках к школьным временам нас будут буллить на чём свет стоит если у вы любите пожрать стекла и у вас есть сердце, то приходите пролить немало горьких слёз меня чуток резануло что все женские персонажи в игре положительные, а герой показывается рыцарем, который принимает их заботу и помогает им, зато в игре дофигища тайской культуры и быта и мелочей, которые основательно проговариваются, и это хорошо и здорово в целом, если вы можете представить себе самую грустную игру о грустной судьбе, то добавьте в неё ещё умирающую бездомную собаку и получится bangkok story это очень личный авторский проект, уникальная штука. и про культуру узнаете, и поплачете хорошенько

Prior to release, I'd seen the demo for the game in a Next Fest and after reading the synopsis, knew this was going to be special. It absolutely did not disappoint. The journey that Boon goes through in this game is heartfelt, funny, tragic, and inspiring. I know there are a few games that deal with homelessness on Steam and that it's an odd subject to focus on as a game, but Bangkok Story makes it work. The gameplay leans more kinetic novel than something like Undertale, Yume Nikki, or any other famous RPGMaker type game. There are light timing-based minigames, but otherwise it's exploration focused between major story beats. Speaking of the story, it definitely goes places, breaking down the main character's story by era, and intertwining all of the supporting characters along the way. No spoilers, per the creator's request, but this game will make you cry, no doubt. It's never too overbearing with the story events, but the culmination of events and the humanity of what occurs throughout make it extremely touching and you'll definitely find yourself impacted by Boon's tale. In terms of critique, the only things I can say are: - Some of the other reviews mention, it's a bit heavy on the use of ellipses, censorship of swearing (which definitely felt the most out of place), and "trope-y" dialogue in some places, but it's forgivable because the game doesn't wear out its welcome and is fairly briskly paced. - While playing on the Steam Deck, I had two issues: one wherein the controller wouldn't function correctly at the main menu, meaning I'd have to switch inputs to load my game. The second was that the game crashed right as we were getting to the final scene, pre-credits, so I had to restart that section. Not a huge deal but definitely a bit of a bummer given that I was sobbing like a baby when it happened. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this if you'd like a bit of insight into Thai culture, perspective on homelessness that isn't presented as crude or crass, or if you just need something to make you feel good, bad, good, bad, and then hopeful.

good story

เกมนี้ เป็นเกมแนว RPG Maker แนวดำเนินเนื้อเรื่องที่ดีมาก น้ำตาซึมไปหลายรอบเลย การดำเนินเนื้อเรื่องดีมาก เป็นลำดับขั้นตอนที่บิ้วอารมณ์ทำให้คนเล่นรู้สึกผูกพันกับตัวละครมากขึ้น ตัวละครแต่ละตัวมีมิติของตัวที่ทำให้เราได้เห็นมุมต่างๆมากมาย ซื่งเป็นการเอาสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นจริงๆมาใส่ในเกมทำใหเรานึกถึงอะไรหลายๆอย่าง และมีข้อคิดให้คิดตามด้วย ซึ่งเราค่อนข่างชอบเกมที่ทำให้เราคิดตามและได้วิเคราะห์ตัวละคร ซึ่งเราชอบมากๆ ผู้พัฒนาก็ใส่ใจกับผู้เล่นมาก ใส่คำเตือนไว้ให้ผู้เล่นด้วย ขอบคุณที่ทำเกมดีๆออกมานะคะ แต่ จงใจทำเกมกระตุกนะ ผู้พัฒนา ชี้หน้า

I got the normal ending. The game system is simple, but the story is very moving. If you're interested, I highly recommend playing it.

Well, i don't get teared up from games very much. And this managed to get a couple to come out. Respect for that alone. As well as the story being a jolly good time, as well, you don't really get emotional like this if the story DOESN'T land. 10/10 would blow away my 10$ again.

เกมดีมาก เนื้อเรื่องแน่น เล่าได้ดี ซึ้งมาก เจ้าของเกมใส่ใจ มีการแจ้งเตือนถึงจุดอ่อนไหวทุกครั้ง . . . และขอให้โลกนี้ใจดีกับคนทำเกมส์ และทุกๆคนที่เล่นเกมนี้ด้วยเช่นกันนะคับ ^_^

Truly a very emotional and heartwarming story game....<3. I could feel that there was so much love that was put into this game and this relates to so many other stories I heard from homeless people out on the streets... Not all homeless people became homeless because they wanted that life, it was forced upon them due to many different circumstances. Mental health is strongly emphasis in this game, which happens to many out on the streets.... In the game, the dog becoming the emotional support has truly touched my heart this week, since I recently lost my loyal friend, family and companion last week T-T; Pets are always there to help you keep going through both good and bad times. Thanks so much for making this game! I have enjoyed it very much. T-T I love how you gave small intermission pauses for each chapter at the end for water, washroom or mental health breaks. I could tell you truly also care about the people playing this game as well. <3
