Jerma & Otto: The Curse of the Late Streamer

Forgot to review this, YOU NEED TO GET THIS, YOU WILL BECOME JEX AFTER 100% COMPLETION!

The Blackjack minigame makes me want to cave the front of my skull in with a hammer. Every other part of the game is charming and enjoyable but the Blackjack segment is a massive ♥♥♥♥ you to the player over and over. If you have a winning hand the dealer matches it and it's push you win nothing. If you have a 20 the dealer has exactly 21 in 2 cards. If you have to draw a card because you think the dealer has a winning hand you get a card that pushes you over 21 and the dealer pulls out a 20 so you were guaranteed to lose no matter what you did. Lose all your money, exit the blackjack table, ask Mr Green for more money, lose again, repeat for the next 3 hours. Most of my playtime is me losing at blackjack. I love this game and I despise Blackjack.

free point & click adventure with some fmv. unfortunately, it's based on some youtube/twitch/whoknowswhat person I'm blissfully unaware of, instantly making it unappealing (and the 500 positive reviews a joke), and that's before the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mini-games even enter the picture. nothing more fun than [b]random blackjack blocking progress[/b], the only options being perseverance or save-scumming, and of course what I took to be a reference to mad dog mccree, a shooting gallery where you have to beat the high score. frustrating but still not as much as the boss fight in mad dog, mainly because I quit here after the second failed attempt. the lazy dev, instead of providing in-game solutions to the problems they themselves created, advised save-scumming for blackjack and using a 3rd-party mouse aiming software to pass the shooting section. ♥♥♥♥ off. [b]typewriter effect for the tiny text[/b], have to click every sentence to make them appear faster. [b]full screen isn't full[/b] either, lots of blackness on all sides for no reason other than incompetence. [b]no hotspot indicator[/b], gotta move the mouse all over to see what's clickable. only lmb works, brings up use, talk to and look at where applicable (or not applicable), can't double-click for an instant location change but hey, [b]there's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ maze[/b], something no adventure game ever needs. and while [b]voiceovers got patched in, half the lines are either bugged or missing[/b]. furthermore, [b]alt+tab doesn't work[/b] for some unfathomable reason and [b]the main menu takes a while to appear every single time[/b], after an unskippable logo and an unskippable 'somewhere in the desert' scene. every. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. time. why? to be fair, there are some positives, as much as absolutely mandatory basic functionality can be considered a positive, and not nearly enough to make up for everything else. the graphics are fine, mouse in the menu (seen so-called point & clicks without mouse support, so it's not always a given), resizable windowed mode, separate volumes for music, sfx and speech, and a colorblind puzzle toggle. you can also [b]save and load anytime[/b], there's an autosave (not indicated) and 5 slots (no overwrite confirmation).

Had no idea who Jerma was and purely played out of boredom. Ended up enjoying it a lot and laughing at various jokes and moments. Very good game for anyone (even if they don't watch who it's based on).

A completely accurate 1:1 simulation of trying to manage a short, clinically insane internet man. I loaded this up expecting a cute indie point and click. Instead, I got trapped inside the Jerma Manor.
