OYASUMII

For me, it feels too much like a great idea left incomplete. Great visuals and even better music/sound design, but it ends up being directionless, any direction at all being tantamount to scraps that only vaguely point you in certain directions of interpretation. But, I love the idea of it! What I get from Oyasumii is a world made up of memories and dreams, and deciding to draw upon familiar iconography such as Super Mario 64 and IMSCARED with the main antagonist in my opinion really helped out that sense of this being fragments of other known things but somehow wrong or off. In a similar vein, I loved the small bit that showed off IRL footage as this really strengthened the sense of being trapped here in this virtual world, showing a great yearning for the past and to be back within normal life. But, each "stage" feels far too short and, for me, there's not enough done with the concepts put on the table here. At first, I was excited by the idea of this being a platformer rather than a traditional walking simulator as I thought it to be, but the platforming is scant and fairly uninteresting. There's also hints of genre-swapping with a small FPS section and the whole game being something of a collectathon. Actually, I quite like the idea of the game switching back and forth between different genres and using different genre tropes as that lends itself well to the whole thing feeling like an amalgamation of someone's experience within video games. But, as with everything else, there's not enough done with that concept. Still, I found it a worthwhile experience and certainly enjoyed the hour it took for me to finish it. I'll be looking hopefully towards future releases from this developer as Oyasumii shows a ton of promise. (P.S., the Rêverie usage was lovely, perhaps my second favorite Debussy piece in spite of his hatred for the work)

懐かしい人には懐かしい光景を彷彿とさせるシーンをオムニバス的にプレイする一人称アドベンチャー。 雰囲気が良く、アクション性もムズ過ぎずで程よい。 サクっと終わりのあるゆめにっきやLSD系ゲームを遊びたいならオススメ。 ホラーみのある演出はあるが、めちゃくちゃ驚かせてやろうという感じではない。 日本語では翻訳の曖昧さと文字化けによって正直ストーリーが良くわからないが……値段相応の体験は十分できると思う。

Me recuerda un poco a Yume Nikki, pero tiene su propia identidad. Seguro es una de la mayores inspiraciones del desarrollador. Me parece que la estetica y la presentacion son muy buenas, es lo que me llamo a atencion, pero a nivel jugable, quisiera que ofreciera un poco mas. Es un buena entrada al horror liminal, espero que el desarrollador se anime a crear mas cosas.

yes

Good game, cool aesthetic, great music but I didn't really see the through line with it 30 minutes in. I'm sure there's something there to delve into but it just didn't capture my interest in time.
