Gone In November

⠀

3 days to live. Story: You play as a person who comes back from the doctors office and learn that you will only have three days left to live. Those three days are spent reflecting as nothing you can do will change the outcome of what's to come. I will say that Gone in November has an interesting premise, but it's execution is bizarre and just plainly bad. There's tons of block of text you have to read and it's not easy to do, cause it moves fast, it's poorly spaced and disappears before it you get a chance to properly read anything. Also the way it's written is confusing and makes the story absolutely non-sensical. A simple concept like this, should not be this convoluted. Graphics: Visually Gone In November looks pretty mediocre. Your apartment just looks like an asset flip and the streets outside just look empty and barren and while the game quickly goes for the surreal visual route it just comes off as cheap, cause everything looks so jagged. Certain textures are low quality and just look like they're not loading in correctly. Also while I like surreal games, I like it when the surreal visuals have a meaning, but it feels like they're just throwing the same model like cactuses cause it looks weird visually instead of it seemingly having any meaning. Audio: The audio design for the most part is fine, but nothing too amazing. You're mostly listening to your footsteps and a few others, but mostly just yourself walking. It sounds fine and like a normal footstep, instead of a heavy clunking noise you would normally hear in a game like this. The soundtrack is also decent, nothing too interesting, but it does help towards the somber tone of the game and although they're nothing special, the tracks themselves actually help out the game, which is sad cause there's not much of it, mostly the game is super quiet. Gameplay: Gone in November is basically a walking simulator, where you read an incredible amount of text. Actually you do (or try to) more reading than walking, so there's not much to talk about here. I will say that the controls themselves feel a bit too heavy than I like. It feels like your character has a bit of weight to him and controlling him feels weirdly sluggish and considering the only thing you do is walk around and read and you can't even do both right, is just poor design from every point of view. Verdict: Gone In November is too ambitious for it's own good. It takes an interesting concept, but has nothing to really say about it. The writing is poor, it's convoluted and just poorly designed in every way. There's definitely worse walking simulators out there, but that doesn't mean you should play this either. Final Rating: 3/10 Pros: + Audio design is pretty decent Cons: - Story is hard to follow - Visuals are really bland - Sluggish controls If you liked this review please consider joining https://steamcommunity.com/groups/completingthebacklog and https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ImperialReviews

It is sadly just a bad walking simulator. It looks like garbage, has typos and the way it approaches the subject of suicide, self harm and cancer is just really weird, which is a shame since you could probably make a really good and emotional game based on these subjects.

Просто процитирую слова одного моего друга: "Эта игра настолько плоха, что некоторым людям, поигравшbм в нее, стало плохо и они решили, что это очень глубокая игра с грустным сюжетом"
