Half Past Fate: Romantic Distancing

Für [url=steamcommunity.com/id/noitka/recommended/1048740?snr=1_5_9__402] Half Past Fate [/url] hatte ich bereits einen Review verfasst. Das Spiel war damals in Ordnung, wenn auch extrem überteuert für das Gebotene. Das aktuelle Sequel, dass sich um eine Liebesbeziehung während des Corona Lockdowns dreht, ist weniger prickelnd. Sehr wenig Interaktion mit der Umgebung, stumpfes Lesen von Texten. Die Spielzeit extrem kurz, maximal 1h, das Ende des Spiels ohne jeglicher Bedeutung. Für den Preis auf keinen Fall eine Empfehlung. Dieses Problem hatte schon der Vorgänger, den ich bei einem Sale mit 90% Rabatt mitgenommen hatte. Bei Half Past Fate: Romantic Distancing sollte man auch im Sale nicht zuschlagen.

After playing Half Past Fate (which I did enjoy), I decided to give this sequel-of-sorts a go. But to be completely honest, it feels unfinished and barely worth mentioning. I'd recommend Half Past Fate, but not this spin-off. It's EXTREMELY short, and I feel like it cuts off without offering any meaningful story or message. Robin's struggle with dating through a pandemic isn't explored and even their time apart isn't shown. Then they just... continue online dating anyway, and that's happily ever after? It really lacked meaning, to me. The ending was abrupt, I totally expected to see them on the other side of the pandemic tbh. There's also way less interactive elements, not even any achievements... You just watch a subpar story unfold for 30-40 minutes, and that's the whole game. I enjoy the characters but just wish there was more depth, overall. Nothing to do, no secret objectives, no achievements/easter eggs, seemingly no cameos or references to the original game (beyond asset re-use, I guess).

i knew this was a shorter game than the original, but didn't think i would be complete it within 30 mins :( wish there was more to the story, but either way, its a nice addition to the original game and chance to get to know these characters

Played this after the first Half Past Fate game and caught me off guard how short it is compared the first one. That aside, this spin-off features the same gorgeous art style, good writing, and down to earth and relatable characters. I recommend it if you've finished HPF and want to explore some other aspects of the world and get to know more characters.

Se você está se sentindo mal nessa quarentena, como qualquer pessoa normal, jogue esse game. A sensação estranha de sua vida estar normal e do nada mudar radicalmente é muito real, e a equipe conseguir transmitir bem isso. Juntando isso a possibilidade de conseguir algo novo, como um amor é realmente gratificante. Muito bom 10/10

I've played Half Past Fate and absolutely adored it so it was obvious I'd cop this one as well. As everyone else, the game is fairly short. However, its an experience I still enjoyed. It was very bittersweet and as someone who dated online, dealt with heartbreak over circumstances that couldn't be controlled, I felt the feelings of the two characters on a personal level.

Beautiful hour-long game about dating during lockdown. It kept me smiling at first, then depressed that I don't even have that in my life. Where's my Stephen?!

"Half Past Fate: Romantic Distancing" is a Dating-Simulator in which you play as Robin and Stephen. We all know that finding true love is hard enough when it’s in person but in this game you build a relationship through the screen as a couple copes with lockdown life by staying connected online! The Artstyle and music, i really liked it. It took me around 1.2 hours to finish it. There are two endings i found and there are sadly no achievements but that is fine aswell. I got the game for 0,79€ on sale which is pretty good. The game is nice, try it out!
