Day Repeat Day

Like Emily is Away, but for jobs under capitalism instead of old social media, and you do the job as match-3 game. Also some of the clients have janky Hypnospace-Outlaw-style websites you can visit. Decide how seriously to take your job for an increasingly hypercapitalist company. Do your best to support the people you care about, or don't, and see what happens. Very well thought out, well written, and heartfelt. Also there's janky Hypnospace-style websites and experimental film interludes.

Un bon jeu narratif qui mélange intelligemment le "match-3" (genre Candy Crush ou Bejeweled) et le simulateur de relation. Je n'ai fait qu'une run et même si le jeu pousse à découvrir d'autres arcs, je trouve que le fond est trop plombant pour se lancer dans une tâche pareille. Mais très bon !

void day() { review = "Day Repeat Day tells an interesting story about working at a rather strange company with "match-3 technology" and conversing with your mutuals throughout the days. As someone whose match-3 of choice is Bejeweled 3, I actually came to enjoy Day Repeat Day's levels and finally appreciated match-3 level design that wasn't just a square board. Some of the levels were tricky, but in a good way that made me get more crafty or efficient with reaching goals before the turn limit expired. The story portion of the game doesn't hold back either, several characters to get to know and some pretty heavy stuff to take in or decisions to make. On my first playthrough, I often found myself blankly staring at people's most recent messages and my response options for a while, unsure of how to respond and worrying about the potential consequences, [i]if[/i] I had them in mind before the game showed the option to remessage someone to confirm a change of plans. Without spoiling [i]too[/i] much, I enjoyed Day Repeat Day's progression throughout the in-game days, as well as the fact that each act wasn't the next in-game day but was instead several days ahead, making you wonder how much of an impact your choices had after you complete a day's work. It all feels complemented by the pleasant-sounding piano music, whether the mood is optimism, uncertainty, concern, or anything in-between. Day Repeat Day is an interesting experience, one I'd recommend even for people like me who were initially mostly interested in the match-3 sections, because there's more than meets the eye." cout << review << endl; } while (true) { day(); }

Wenn ich ein deprimierendes Spiel über unserezuküntige Realität haben wollen würde, würde ich kein Match-3 Spiel spielen wollen. Prinzipiell gut umgesetzt, aber für mich zu deprimierend. Irgendwann erdrückt es einen so sehr, dass ich keine Lust hatte es weiterzuspielen.

I just finished my first pass through the game, and ... wow. A Match 3 game that doubles as a mind trip. A five-hour game that can be replayed again just to figure how much they can mess with your mind.

nice story

Artful game but very depressing, especially when the in-game AI boss gave me the exact same answer that I heard this week from one of my real-life coworkers and that I didn't like for good reasons.
