Schastye

i understand some of the complaints ive seen in the poor reviews, but i think theyre easily looked over. the game is literally 89p. i played mostly because i was curious about how this intertwines with the story of who's lila (great game by garage heathen too, which definitely helps put faith in the intention and purposeful execution of schastye), but i enjoyed this by its own merits either way. very mild spoilers, but this reads to me mostly as a story about [spoiler]a addiction-prone sad man going through a bout of shroom-induced psychosis, and it's fairly compelling to me.[/spoiler] about the gameplay: im a big fan of non-games, and i think this is perfectly okay. despite the complaints, it really is not tiring to type for like 15-20 minutes, given that you can take breaks whenever anyway. i can agree absolutely with the criticism that this is practically just a book, but for one: garage heathen is a game developer, and this game needs to be linked with their other one more visibly, and two: it is still adding more than it is detracting for sure. i do have a tendency to overthink about these things in games anyway but the room itself and the colours shifting slightly made for some very decent foreshadowing in my opinion. i just find this to be a hard game to be mad at. its a pretty good story and it's 89p, and provides some interesting context for another game too
