Pendula Swing Episode 1 - Tired and Retired

The setting is very cute and I like the main character a lot... but there's some problems with this game. (I have only played episode 1 though.) First and worst is bugs. Sometimes dialogue boxes will simply appear blank, starting a conversation will skip straight to the end of the conversation and close the dialogue, it's easy to get stuck on terrain, and changes to the inventory sometimes don't happen properly. Other than that, the game was just a little slow and offers FAR more useless lore and dialogue than anyone needs. This isn't that bad though if you like that though, I just made it feel tedious to me.

I really enjoyed the first episode of this game and look forward to buying the second episode. It has a great story that shows the player what happens when the war is over and the world is changing. Our main character has lost her wife and now returns to the city she once knew only to realize that it has changed so much since she was last there. I hope that she will be able to find new love in the future episodes. I like that there are so many conversation options and different ways to complete the story. However I would like to have the ability to go back to an option. For example there's a guy as the dock who needs money to get his papers I would have given him money but I wanted to see the rest of the conversation opetions first but when I did that I couldn't go back to the option to give him money. Overall it was a good game and I can't wait to see what happens next. ^_^

SO. Bought this game after I played the free first episode and im so glad i did. For whatever reason, this game is addicting AF. and idk if its the charm of the characters, or the fact that there is sooo much to do and sooo many little side quests, and romances to form, and mysteries to solve, but this game is that weird little gem thats also super endearing. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is just looking for a simple, casual, time consuming game to play when they are bored and need to go on some random adventures, or just want to kiss a goblin or two. :)

Edit to add: I love this game but it's still currently very buggy. The devs are onto it with regular patches This is a great game. I'm struck by how inclusive it is - women in leadership positions, people with disabilities and transgender/non-binary people are seamlessly part of the narrative. It's also gently political and provides an important commentary on race. I like how the protagonist slowly comes to the realisation that her great deeds from centuries ago no longer stack up as being so great. I'm having a few issues with bugs and the game crashing - the devs seem on top of fixing things. I'm looking forward to the remaining chapters coming out.

I really like this game as a point n click adventure game. The graphics and the music are good, no complaints. But there's a couple issues that stop me from playing a game I desperately want to. First, the loading screens, especially to load a saved game, is way too long. Like up to 10 mins long. I like this enough to try to look past it but there's a bug in the game where the character is stuck in place and the options to look around or move turns into 'walk away' but nothing happens. I would love to recommend this game but I need to be able to actually play it

Enteresan bir konsepti harcadıklarını düşünüyorum. Malum zamandageçen bir fantezi hikayesi olarak o dönemin sosyal sıkıntılarını, ırkçılık ve işsizlik krizlerini, karakterimizin yüzlerce yıldır dünyadan uzak yaşamasına istinaden bürokrasiyi kavrayamayışını ve devlet yapısının uydurukluğunu vs. vermeye girişmişler. Ama bunu o kadar çok karakter ve gereksiz etkileşim/diyalog ile yapmışlar ki oyun oynamaktan ziyade sağa sola tıklayıp zaman öldürüyorsunuz gibi görünüyor. Evet, her boku tek tek sorabilmemiz güzel bir özellik ama ben birisinden bir konuda bilgi istediğimde yalnızca gerek hayatta araya sorular serpmek isterim. Bir oyunda soru soruyorsam, cevabın mümkün olan en hızlı ve geniş şekilde bana verilmesidir derdim. Yani, birkaç yüz yıldır kapı komşuluğunu yapan insanın bu özelliğini ona "sen kimdin yaa? Söyler misin?" diyerek öğrenmek nedir arkadaş? Tamam. Etkileşimlerin büyük bir çoğunluğu hikayeyi birkaç ayrı yoldan bitirebilmemiz için eklenmiş. Ama ben zaten şehre girmek için gerekli olabilecek belgeleri yanıma almışken bir de gidip yeni belge çıkartmalı sekansı neden yapayım? O belgeler yanımdaysa, diğer seçeneği kapat ki o yolun başındayken "acaba ucu farklı bir şeye mi çıkacak?" diye düşünerek girip de aynı yere ulaştığını görünce buraya gelip "tavsiye etmiyorum" demeyeyim. İlk episode'yi bitirdim. Fikri sevsem de ne bulmacalarını ne de diğer şeylerini sevdim. Belki bi çocuk olsam zamanımı harcardım buna ama şu şartlar altında ne size ne de kendime önerebiliyorum. Yolları açık olsun. EDİT: Oyun zaten "basit eğlence" diye sınıflandırılmış. Bulmacaların basitliği ve gez-dolaşlı kısmın bu kadar bol keseden olmasını kötü bir özellik olarak göstermemem gerekirdi sanırım. Ama, dediğim gibi. Oyun kötü değil. Sadece ne seveceğim ne de önereceğim bir formda. NOT: Müzikler fişek fişek \m/

Very delightful game! If you wanted an Ankh-Morpork game, this is it. Funny characters with interesting twists to them. Story is not particularly fanciful, but it's very enjoyable to talk to the different NPCs with their quirks. I had been often surprised by their stories and was never disappointed for taking my time to talk to them. My only big problem with the game are the bugs when skipping dialogue. Some of them do not allow you to take this dialogue option again if you accidentally walk away & one unfortunate bug stuck me in dialogue. Since there is only one save I would just reload into this scene with no option of leaving it. I had to restart the game because of it.
