Phil Alone

It's a short game where if you check everything you get the answers which is fine but if you get an ending you already got it it's so slow like the "original loop ending" I wish I could speed up the text speed. Other then that it's and alright game that's quick around 20 mins if you're goofing around like I was. 5/10 might recommend to someone in passing.

Muito bom o game, a história é bem profunda e tem vários finais a serem desvendados. É game que tu fecha rapidinho em 20min ou 30min, então vale a pena dar uma olhadinha

Muito bom! Trilha sonora gostosinha, gameplay fluida... delicinha <3

RPG Maker strikes again! "Phil Alone" 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. Notably, the "developer" couldn't work out how to use RPG Maker to make a JRPG (the only thing it can do, and it's terrible at it). Instead, we have an "escape room" puzzle game with one of the blandest stories imaginable, cringey e-book writing... ugh. Basically the same level of quality that's to be expected from RPG Maker asset flips. At least the developer didn't write this one about his imaginary anime girlfriend (that seems to be the sole subject for the vast majority of RPG Maker asset flips on Steam Direct).. 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. So, it's hard to describe this as a game, the focus of the product is more like that of an e-book/visual novel, there's only minor, shallow and uninteresting gameplay elements. The crux of this is to push some very low quality, badly done fan-fiction tier writing, where we see once more a developer fail to understand the importance of "Show, don't tell", and for whatever reason, weren't able to convey their narrative through gameplay, giving us endless lines of badly written e-book text instead. My gaming rig is not a kindle. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. They have their hand out for a $2 USD "donation" for this as you're expected to give them money from buying empty DLC from Steam... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty water on your windscreen at the traffic lights. No thanks. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 11 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Since free games don't contribute to your game collector badge and other profile stuff, is this a worthwhile addition to your Steam library? Nope. I didn't have to pay for this, but I still feel like I got scammed.

Curti muito o jogo, só acho que poderia ser feito sem tanto fade in/out. Mas ficou bem bom, e infelizmente o jogo é curto, gostaria de jogar algo nesse estilo com mais cenários e etc. #CondaDev

Para quem ainda não teve a oportunidade de jogar, posso resumir o jogo da seguinte maneira: Um rapaz chamado Phil quer sair de casa, mas antes precisa cumprir tarefas deixadas numa lista. Saber quais tarefas fazer e em que ordem fazer pode decidir o rumo da história que possui vários finais. Eu confesso que senti falta de algum tipo de explicação para o que está acontecendo no game, um pouco mais de aprofundamento não comprometeria o suspense, mas criaria algum tipo de identificação entre o personagem princial, o lugar e o jogador. Isso, porém, não prejudica a diversão, recomendo à todos que gostam do estilo "Escape Room".

Esse jogo é tão curto e meta que chega a ser frustrante.
