Yondu's Journey

Yondu's Journey is exactly what it says on the tin albeit exaggerating its scope to a somewhat silly degree in the description. This "interactive movie" is over in under 20 minutes, provided you make no incorrect choices, and follows the eponymous Norse Yondu as he and his brother undertake a journey for a scouting mission. Things quickly go awry and our protagonist finds himself fighting for his very existence. I mean, there isn't much of a story here as it boils down to watching 2-3 minute long videos before you get to make arbitrary choices leading you to the next video. To my credit I somehow managed to make every single wrong choice. Not a big deal since you can conveniently skip through videos as there's an actual visible media player bar, though. There's no mechanics or anything here so the short movie is what I can talk about. You can definitely tell it's an indie production with accented guys giving it all while wearing decent-looking outfits. It's a good thing Yondu's casting was spot-on as dude absolutely sells the portrayal of a wounded warrior trying to survive. Other character of note would be the knight he faces later on, and his actor just radiates arrogance to a ridiculous degree. You know that's not going to end well. Dodgy combat chorography could've used a pass or two.

A short story about vengeance in which the player/viewer is presented with a choice of two options a number of times. One of those options always leads to the immediate death of the protagonist, while the other progresses the 'narrative' - if you could call it that. The writing is laughably bad and it's clear that none of the people on screen have ever acted outside of whatever LARP event they were recruited at.

This is a suprisingly well acted and produced (given the budget and the number of people involved) short FMV story with some binary decisions on the player's part at certain points in the story. I say give it a try if you've got about an hour to spare.

Short, but good.

[h1] Genre [/h1] Ein kurzes Full Motion Video Adventure [h1] Story [/h1] Wir spielen den Krieger Yondu und bekommen von unserem Vater die Aufgabe unsere Feinde auszuspionieren, dar wir in der letzten Schlacht aber viele Männer verloren haben, sollen wir lediglich unseren jüngeren Bruder mit auf die Reise nehmen. Widerwillig tun wir dies und machen uns auf aber kaum aufgebrochen passiert schon ein Zwischenfall und wir müssen um unser Überleben kämpfen [h1] Gameplay [/h1] Das Spiel ist sehr kurz und man hat es in gut 45 Minuten durchgespielt. Man schaut sich die Film Clips an und muss insgesamt 3 oder 4 Entscheidungen treffen. Diese Entscheidungen führen entweder zum Tod des Charakters oder lässt halt die Story fortlaufen. Ich fand das Acting sehr gut gelungen & auch die Kameraführung ist sehr gut [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Kostenlos + Story ist OK + Das Acting ist gut + Kameraführung ist Ordentlich +/- Leider Keine Achievements [h1] Fazit [/h1] Es scheint ein kleines Hobby Projekt zu sein, jedenfalls kommt es so rüber. Man merkt das die Entwickler hier sehr viel herz reingesteckt haben um etwas auf die Beine zu stellen. Es ist Kostenlos also kann man hier sowieso nichts Falsch machen. Ich hoffe wir werden bald noch Größere Projekte sehen & wünsche dem Team viel Erfolg 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow third group [/url][/list]

This felt like watching a (decent) amateur short film. It's an FMV game so there are a few choices to be made, but other than that there really isn't much interactivity. Generally with the choices you'll end up either dead or continuing further in the story. I really just wanted more of a game here. Free so can't complain too much, but for me it wasn't worth the time.

This is a free to play FMV choose-your-own-adventure. It's an amateur made game but it's clear they put a lot of heart into it. The video quality isn't the best but it's clear enough you can see everything that's going on, and being completely free to play allows us to overlook a lot of deficiencies that paid products can't excuse. This follows a medieval warrior, you make various choices which pushes you into different FMV sequences. It's not very long,, easily less than half an hour, but it's definitely entertaining, and for something that's free, you get more than your moneys worth. This is worth adding to your library.

Never thought a FMV would have stuttering problems but here we are. Might just be something bad with the download but I'm not bothering to download it again.
