The Bradwell Conspiracy

This is a tough one. Does it deserve a thumbs up? No. Does it deserve a thumbs down? A slightly stronger no. I'm the kind of guy who likes to uncover every corner of every area, and in this game I just found myself b-lining to the next objective. I'm also the kind of guy who loves the flavor text left lying around, but here I didn't read about 95% of them because they added nothing (read like the last 3 when you're clearly about to enter act 3 and you'll get all you need to know). With the exception of 2 ah-ha moments throughout the game, the puzzles are VERY straightforward, and I never felt like I accomplished anything by doing them. There was almost no discovery in the mechanics, just "connect this pipe to that pipe". The ending was one of the most mind-numbingly boring sequences I've played in a LONG time. You end up spending more time running back and forth and screwing with miniscule placement than doing any kind of discovery. All of that said, the story was fine and I do feel like the team did their best to make a good game, just for whatever reason they didn't succeed. I didn't enjoy most of it, but I felt like their heart was in the right place and I'd feel bad giving it a thumbs down. Most often games have mixed reviews for a reason.

Interesting idea but the story doesn't get more interesting, the gameplay is rather boring and the final chapter was buggy for me

物質製造装置を使って進む謎解きADV。 研究施設を進むといろいろ明かされてきます。 面白くないです。 １０時間でストレス抱えつつ進んでいたら、３０分程迷うとこが出てきたのでリタイア。 そこまでの謎解きも、パズル要素の少なさと導線が分かりずらさでかなりきつかった。 写真を撮ってパートナーにヒント貰うシステムも、無意味な写真送っただけで文句言われるし。

It's a walking simulator story. Good side was is that it wasn't bad, I did enjoy the retro future story. Bad side, it's a bit expensive by default, and it's very linear with no meaningful choice as the player.

I enjoyed this game a lot. It was intriguing, and I loved the little hints here and there that point towards the big secret that ties the whole story together. The game's a bit short, but it was long enough to be fun and short enough that it didn't overstay its welcome, so that's fine. I received this game at a considerable discount, however, and I might not recommend it for the full price. It is quite expensive for what it is. I will say that I encountered a bug that happened twice in the Aequus chamber that caused me to get stuck on ladders after climbing down them. I was forced to quit to menu and go back to the most recent checkpoint. I have no idea what caused this bug, but other than that and the thing about the price I don't have any meaningful complaints about this game. I look forward to seeing more from this studio in the future.

Molto, molto bello. Vale sicuramente il prezzo, specie per i fan del genere.

Don't really get the only 40% negative reviews for this. Feel like this is a pretty decent story and exploration focused walking sim with a bit of puzzling. I assume a lot of people thought this would be an actual puzzle game, which it really isn't.

Very good game. Only issue is that the screen resolution options seem to be hardcoded and not comprehensive. Fortunately it's possible to modify the settings file to manually set the resolution.
