I may of only had to loop like a few times, so the title for me would be: START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN START AGAIN: a prologue.
.
Incredible little prototype for In Stars and Time with heaps of dialogue and little things to see. The combat is a bit tough, I felt the need to grind just a little bit to make things easier but I very much enjoyed the Rock, Paper, Scissors dynamic. I hope the enemy variety in the full game is a little larger, as you fight the same 4ish enemies in this a few dozen times. But the few enemies you do fight each have a unique strategy required to defeat them, keeping you on your toes.

Embora a experiência de zerar START AGAIN: a prologue seja curta, o tempo que o jogador passa tentando desvendar um quebra cabeça que parece infinito é excelentemente trabalhado. A ligação que o jogador pode desenvolver com os personagens, que são otimamente construídos, é gratificante - você realmente se sente na pele da personagem principal. Dito isso, é um ótimo jogo que deve ser apreciado. (O jogo é leve e não apresenta problemas para rodar até em computadores mais simples).
START AGAIN very beautiful. Not much different from ISAT, but just enough juicy lore to be worth the play. Some unique dialogue sprinkled throughout. Battle mechanic slightly harder, but good challenge.
I quite liked this game! It gave good context of what it could have looked like after I played ISAT, I recommend the full game more, but this one was a nice challenge because it had less balance. I highly recommend this game whether you are trying to get into ISAT or are just wanting to play SASASAAP!
prologue is a cool name
amazing set up for the actual game!
It's an interesting story with engaging (if a little slow) combat, but my god, the writing. It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. It's like the creators are writing what they think a book sounds like. Every interaction reads like a Tumblr post, complete with a """realistic""" depiction of a panic attack. It's a bit of an idiot plot, too. The story relies on the character being the biggest hardass the world has ever seen. They clearly wanted the story to tell a message about the value of showing vulnerability, but the actions of the characters do not make sense outside of that metaphor.
You don't need to play this to understand "In Stars and Time", but if you liked that game, you might like this. It is far shorter, but still enjoyable!
