Schrödinger's Call

[h1] このゲームに出会えて本当に良かった [/h1] 電話を通して人を、魂を救うアドベンチャーゲーム。 今まで色んなゲームを遊んできたけど、こんなに心を動かされたのは本当に久しぶりだし、何回涙で視界が滲んだかも分からない。とにかく素敵なゲームでした...。この感動を是非皆さんにも体験して欲しい。超オススメの一作。 このゲームから感じたこと、語りたいことは沢山あるんですが、本作は予備知識なしで遊んだ方が絶対楽しめるのでストーリーの内容については触れません。購入予定のある方はレビューもあんまり見ない方がいいです。 それでも紹介動画から分かる範囲で伝えたい魅力は、まず開始して数秒で引き込まれる世界観、映像美が素晴らしいです。音楽、音響にも非常にこだわっており、公式が推奨しているように出来ればヘッドホンと、あと振動機能のあるコントローラーで遊ぶと没入感が全然違うのでオススメです。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3772629727 聞くところによれば、本作は開発までに4年かかり、前途多難で途中で打ち切りを覚悟した時期もあったとか。 最後までプレイし終えた今でこそより強く思うんですが、こんな素敵なゲームが無事我々の手元に届き、遊ぶことができて只々感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。 ありがとうアクロバティックチリメンジャコの開発陣のお三方。 ありがとう集英社ゲームズ。 PS: サントラ買いました。曲聴くだけで色々込み上げてきて泣きそうです。

节奏比较慢，但到某个时刻忽然意识到安慰人好像就是靠反复说车轱辘话（？） 语言不重要，逻辑不重要。要是对方真能按照理性来那直接自己不emo才是各种意义下的最优解。 所以倾听真的很难呢。 还是享受无意义对话吧。 接近别人就是为了看人真实的黑暗面吗？我可以接受鲜花之下隐藏着荆棘，但不要硬扯出来摆在我面前逼我同样喜欢。 未被观测的东西可以永远被幻想虚饰。 在幸福中消失吧。 不需要被happy end后无法想象的永恒幸福的未来折磨了。 我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。我永远喜欢我。

Schrödinger's Call is a game about listening. About empathy. About the empathy found within lies. About forgetting. About loneliness. And it handles all of these themes on a truly remarkable level. Unfortunately, the game is not always the most efficient, as it tends to repeat itself quite often. Some scenes are presented to the player multiple times in short succession, almost as if the game does not trust them to remember something for more than a few minutes. There are also a few situations where the player has to answer questions — but they are so ridiculously easy that you would almost have to try to get them wrong. The game tells several short stories, all woven into a larger, interconnected narrative, with the protagonist Mary always forming an emotional bond with the people she speaks to. Every story is well-written and filled with likable characters. They are mostly tragic, but often come with a sense of reconciliation and are occasionally lightened up by humor. Even so, I still found myself with tears in my eyes at the end of every story, and the final resolution hit me especially hard. The stories are not the only thing that is well-written — the presentation of Schrödinger's Call is equally impressive. The sound design is perfectly tailored to each scene and conveys the intended atmosphere wonderfully. I especially enjoyed the voices of the characters: they are unintelligible and sound heavily compressed, yet they still convey the unique qualities and emotions of each voice. Visually, the game uses many effects to create a strong sense of otherworldliness. I particularly loved Mary's notes in her diary. Schrödinger's Call elegantly transfers a physical thought experiment into the human state of mind. It is a game full of empathy for its characters. It knows exactly how to hit the right emotional notes, both in its beautiful and its tragic moments. I enjoyed it immensely. But what did you actually hear on the other end of the line?

I've been meaning to finish the game so I can post a review (It might be long and include spoilers) I found this game on a instagram reel (@watermelongamestv) It seemed pretty interesting so I bought it, at first it didn't seem as much as just Mary was just someone who answers phone and listens to peoples grief or their long regrets, etc. After episode 1 with lucy my god. It was so sad spoiler: [spoiler]When it was lucy who killed the loan shark it made me cry because of how william was so young and the loan shark broke the telescope his mom gave him and she couldnt bear the sound of his cries and on the final call she pretended to be cathy and not herself like the promise she made to him[/spoiler] it broke me a lot. Episode 2 is my fav one, envy. [spoiler]Thomas and Lia had an amazing bond, and they called everyday which is so cute. And when I found out that Lia was blind my jaw dropped. And when she left her house to go to the theater she wasn't found. And he was in so much grief. And even after her death he still called like she was there, It made me cry more as the episode went on and how when Mary pretended to be Lia (as well as william) to help Thomas and Lucy broke me amd how Thomas wanted to make Lia a star even though she was blind he was still dedicated[/spoiler] Episode 3 was where it turned a lil err [spoiler]At first I thought violet was just some delusional person until I found out she was a moonchild (you'll understand later) it broke me and then later into the story when I found out what she did to Cyrus/Lucas parent's i was like holy shii and as it progressed it was more wild but it wasn't sad but more like shocking lol[/spoiler] Episode 4 is where things got wild my god [spoiler]Lol quick thing, peter is so cute love him omg, but for philip it was so sad when I found out his daughter Amy was dead, as the story progressed I shed tears, and then it got wild [/spoiler] Episode 5 is where it was most wild ૮ o . o ; ྀིა [spoiler]After I found out (I'm going to try not to spoil it all) that amy and Mary were living together and how lia died was so sad (it'll make sense when you play it) and how Mary pretended to be amy after her death just to talk to philip because marys dad abandoned her when she was little and all she wanted was to talk to someone :(( shes so cute I love her[/spoiler] The soundtracks and art is also very lovely I love them so much. ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ྀིა [spoiler]This will make sense once you finish the game: Mary is a good girl, a sweet little girl <3 ૮ ◜ᵕ◝ ྀིა[/spoiler] Def would recommend this game but just prepare for it to make you think twice lol Thank you for reading this review (it's the longest I've ever wrote) ૮ ౦ ̭౦ ྀིა

很喜欢这个游戏表现力的部分，音乐，美术，互动的结合体。玩的时候让我觉得，这种体验只有游戏才能带给我o。 不是很像番剧的游戏，是很游戏的游戏啦~

グラフィック、音楽、雰囲気、演出…めちゃくちゃ良かったです。 逆にいえば↑に突出したゲームとも言えます。 ゲーム的な難易度などはほぼ関係なく、失敗ペナルティはないのでどうあがいてもクリアできます。 なので、音楽や雰囲気に全力で没頭できるとも言えます。 後半になるにつれ、話しがきな臭くなってきて徐々にメアリの正体がわかっていきます。 最後まで終わったときにはメアリへの印象が大きく変わると思います。 うわー！そうきたか！って思ったので是非ネタバレなしで味わってほしいです。 ！！以下ネタバレ感想！！ [spoiler] 「メアリは嘘つき」だから「嘘をついて電話先の相手の心残りをなくせた」のがなんてにくい演出！！ 月が落ちてきたというのもおそらく嘘で、ホントはメアリが月に落ちていってる（ゲーム内表現）なのかな、このゲームはその落ちてるメアリの最後の一瞬だったのかなと思いました。 （ハムレットはメアリが持っていけなかったあのぬいぐるみがイマジナリーフレンドになったのかなと推測） しかし、「観測者」という名のプレイヤーが突然出てきたのはちょっと冷めてしまったな…（人によるでしょうが） できれば最後はハムレットがメアリを救ってほしかった… メアリの心だけが救われる悲しいお話しでしたが、とても良かったです。 最後、フィリップの未完了通話が何回も何回も流れるのはかなりテンポ悪かったのでそこだけが気になりました。 [/spoiler]

[h2]Beautiful But Missing So Much[/h2] Schrödinger’s Call is a visual novel that clearly aspires to deliver a deeply emotional experience but falls short of its potential due to several design choices and extremely slow pacing. The game was on the verge of greatness, with it's visuals and an evocative soundtrack, but ultimately, its linear structure and repetitive storytelling hold it back. You pick up the phone to save those in need of saving as the world is ending in 21 nanoseconds, between life and death. If we're focusing on aesthetics alone. It's a masterpiece in and of itself, but outside of that, there are many things I can't overlook. One of the main drawbacks is the lack of meaningful choices. The story unfolds in a strictly linear fashion, rendering player decisions inconsequential, as it simply repeats the question asked and then waits for you to "play out the role", even when you're eventually given some freedom to choose, once you fail and choose incorrectly, it's like all your immersion washes away. This, combined with the need to replay the same scenes multiple times before the plot advances, quickly becomes tedious. Dialogue repetition, particularly from the main character as they often reiterates the moments after a conversation, further hampering immersion. "Remember what they just said!?" *Plays that message* Wow, feels like forever ago... *Literally 60 seconds ago, the full conversation* The narrative struggles to maintain tension and motivation in its early hours. The first ten hours, in particular, can feel unfocused and confusing, making it difficult to stay engaged, because it's bouncing back and forth and each chapter is over 2-4 hours long. The story only starts to come together around the eleven-hour mark, but by then, the lack of player choice and control and the nature of these choices diminish the reveal of the moderate at best ending. There is a strong foundation. The minimalist, abstract art is beautiful, and while the music can sometimes overwhelm the senses, it generally complements the atmosphere well, even if it's very loud. The emotional resonance of the story may hit hard if you relate to the protagonist’s lifestyle, but otherwise, it isn't THAT good. For those seeking powerful, choice-driven narratives, I recommend exploring titles like Until Then, Mind’s Beneath Us, or Wani Hug That Gator. Schrödinger’s Call has its moments, which I agree are very well done, there were times it was on the verge of bringing me to tears, but it’s not the life changing experience it could have been. Improvements that would help elevate the game include: • Branching choices and multiple endings. • Concise storytelling and less repetition, as we have optional notebook access! • Greater narrative tension and stakes by branching outcomes. • Steam integration to acquire your name directly, instead of choosing an animal. Overall, my review while negative is a neutral approach to help you understand, it's not phenominal, but it is certainly beautiful and occasionally moving, but still lacks the depth and interactivity that define the genre’s best.
