Borefest

"Borefest" is a joke game, the blurb says it all, it was made badly "on purpose". There's room for an academic side-note here, is it possible for a bad game to be badly made "on purpose" if the developer isn't actually capable of doing any better? Anyway, this garbage was made with the craptastic blight on gaming that is the Ren'Py construction kit, presumably in the hopes it'll "go viral", and that's what they were hoping for here because this is really an advertisement for more Ren'Py e-book trash fan-fiction writing the developer is hoping to sell here on Steam. Understably gamers have a very low opinion on crap advertising, and this sits square in the middle between What do you do in the game? Nothing, just read some badly written Ren'Py fan-fiction "comedy" writing and click a lot. And look at some pixelcrap monochrome rendition of a post office. It's pure garbage. Because gaming is a visual medium it's always important to talk about the visual presentation that a game has. Unfortunately, this isn't a game, it's an E-book, the primary focus is text. And we know the text is badly written because if the would be "author" of this E-book could write to any decent standard, they'd be a published author with books on bookshelves. Instead, they've had to resort to paying $100 to dump their E-book onto Steam as if it was a game, when they know full well it isn't. On pricing, this is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $2 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. It's also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who paid money for this... nobody got refunded. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 2 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.[b]Note: Joke reviews[/b] Because this is more of a "joke" game, intended to draw attention from controversy or in the hopes of going viral because it's "so bad it's good" (but it isn't good at all), there's nothing here to offer to serious gamers. As usual, with most awful/joke games, all the comedians come out of the woodwork. The vast majority of the reviews for this game are joke reviews, mocking the game for just how bad it is. The comedians give us the usual "this game cured my cancer, saved my marriage, changed my life" story... sarcastic, but not useful if you want to know if the game is worth it. Because most of the reviews are as insincere as the game itself is, the positive review score for this game should not be considered an accurate representation of the quality of the game.

Does what it says on the tin an anti-game that is intentionally boring with a dry comical twist

"Neden bunu yaparak zamanınızı boşa harcıyorsunuz? Bunun yerine eğlenceli bir şey yapamaz mıydınız? Oyunların eğlenceli olması gerekiyor..."diye söylüyor programcı
