Lonely in the Winter

Lonely in the Winter is a very short (~1 hour) RPG Maker game about a man named Robbery Cold looking for a magical crystal that can save his daughter's life. It is very goofy, and not particularly well-written (in English, at least - the author's native language is Portuguese, and it might be less typo-ridden in that language), but it's a fun short adventure. Upsides are that it's pretty funny, and the five difficulty modes plus the rank system at the end gives it some replay value if you're looking to speedrun it or otherwise challenge yourself. Also, while it uses a lot of default art, it also has full "CGs" based on that art for dramatic or silly scenes in the story. Downsides are that it's very short and you will constantly be too poor to afford much, including the basic healing potions. Thumbs up because it made me laugh out loud a few times, though one of those was due to a really funny bug rather than something intended to happen by the developer. This isn't a very strong recommendation, though, but mostly because the entire thing is only about an hour long.

Se você estiver procurando por um jogo rápido, este é uma ótima aposta. Tem um enredo interessante, o jogo não é longo, mas te proporciona várias dificuldades, nas quais você pode se desafiar.

RPG Maker strikes again! Lonely in the Winter is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. This is a very badly made RPG Maker asset flip, but the "developer" (that filled out templates in RPG Maker) chose to asset flip the arctic assets in the game, and made a very short game with an arctic theme and the main character is called "Robbery Cold". Sorry, I should have put a cringe warning in front of that. So the best part about this asset flip is that it's short. Less garbage is better, right? Except, you know, there's a price tag on this garbage. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never results in games of any reasonable quality or value to gamers. Gamers who want a good retro JRPG experience would be better off playing the originals, like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean or Chrono Trigger. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Lonely in the Winter is relatively cheap at $3 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

INTRODUCTION Lonely in the Winter is a RPG game that tells the history of robbery cold, that is on a mission to save his daughter from a terrible disease. GAMEPLAY The gameplay is based on the RPG Maker gameplay, you navigate on the road and the cave finding items,buying stuff to recover life, and getting into battles to gain exp and level up to win new abilities. The game also have a minigame after fighting redone(the villain) for the first time. GRAPHICS They are simple and detailed, nothing from other world, but very nice.

SUMMARY Lonely in the Winter is a surprising RPG game that can be completed in about 2 hours(including achievements and secret battles across the game), you also have the ending rank that counts the heroes that you found(at graves), treasures and the time you used to complete the game, that way you can replay the game multiple times to get the S rank. The only downside right now(12/27/2018 - 27/12/2018) is that the game is way too short, if you already know what to do, you can complete it in less than 1 hour. Featuring the price of $0,99 this game is a cheap and fun passtime for you to play here on Steam.

gostei bastante do jogo, não é muito demorado em menos de duas horas vc zera o jogo, além de esta em português

[h1]A decent, but short, game that ends on a cliffhanger. Can be finished in an hour, and has some grammar and balance issues. Still, worth it on sale, if only to help support the dev.[/h1] Lonely in the Winter is a story about Robbery Cole who sets off to find a cure for a disease that already claimed his wife, but is now threatening to claim his daughter as well. He hears tale of a crystal in the mountains that might be the ticket to a cure, and goes after it. Problem is, he’s not the only one looking for it. That’s pretty much the story. The only two (out of a possible five) recruitable characters I encountered in my playthrough were a child were-yeti and a wolf that was near-death. Even on easy I found the game to be unbalanced and leaned more towards the difficult side, but I was able to get through it fairly OK. The puzzles in the game were decent, except for two ‘hidden’ ones, which had very little in the way of clues for their solutions. One was a sliding puzzle of a silhouette but there wasn’t a ‘before’ image to work from. Another was a timed word puzzle, and the only thing close to a hint I could find didn’t work as the answer. The story is quite basic, but it gets its point across. You have a few boss battles, a little bit of exploration...but then it’s suddenly over. This game is SHORT. I got it done in a little over an hour, and felt a little underwhelmed by the cliffhanger of an ending. +Fun little game that has an interesting story +Were-Yeti +Continuing Dev Support =Feels Episodic, but isn’t? =Not much reason for replayability =Grammar Issues -Extra puzzles have little to no hints. -Incredibly short
