Repella Fella

My first playthrough of Repella Fella was rather fun. I quite liked the humor of the game, the story felt interesting, and the world building felt extensive. There were lots of choices to make throughout the game, which made me excited to replay the game to see different outcomes. The end of the game though wasn’t really that good. It kinda just abruptly ends just as the story feels like it’s really kicking off. And then you get a bunch of after-credit scenes which weren’t very entertaining and kinda felt like they dragged, especially with that lackluster ending. On my second playthrough, I tried to make different decisions as often as I could, which revealed that the game doesn’t actually have any branching pathways. No matter what options you choose or items you use, the game plays out in pretty much the exact same way. Sure, picking different options gives you different cutscenes in the moment, but once that scene is over, the story progresses on as if you picked any of the options. This game is not truly a choice your own adventure, and it doesn’t actually feature multiple endings like the game suggests. The story is incredibly linear without any ability to really change it. Sure, the items you pick up give you more options, but they don’t actually change the trajectory of the story at all, all they do is add a little bit of flavor. The game was honestly a bit of a slog to get through the second time, and even more so on future playthroughs as I tried to 100% the game. Basically, this game offers you the illusion of choice while not actually letting you change the story in any major or even minor way. Also, while it does have the item collection typical in point-and-click adventures, you don’t actually use them to solve any puzzles. Every item can only be used once during a random dialogue option, and in most cases, you don’t even need an item to progress. And when you are able to use an item, it just tells you what item you’re missing, so there’s no need to even think about what items to use or how to cleverly use them to solve your problem. Without any attempt to have puzzles or make the player use their brain, it feels like items were included in this game just because they heavily feature in other point and click games, rather than actually understanding their purpose. As I said, my first playthrough was fun, probably a 7 or 7.5 out of 10, but as you replay the game and start actually analyzing it, it becomes obvious that this game is trying to replicate genres like Choose Your Own Adventure and Point And Click without actually understanding what makes them tick. If you are to buy this game, I’d recommend getting it on sale and only playing through it one time. 6.5/10
