Joice rated Newfound Courage

Joice rated a game 5 years ago
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS.

So here's the thing about this game.
The narration may feel "clumsy" at times, especially near the beginning - I was a little confused about the terminology - but it's...so...charming, and it tries so much, that I fell in love with it. I fell in love with the atmosphere, the characters, the relationships and the overall sense of adventure (I think the Vault is a fantastic setting, btw). I love stories with LGBTQI+ characters where their sexuality/gender isn't "all there is about them" (gosh i hope i don't sound like an ass, being bi myself), and Alex felt very much like "a character" in that regard- even if, of course, part of his story is still about coming to terms with his sexuality, which I think is very fitting. 

The puzzles were easy, but nice. I played this to distract myself, not looking for a hard time but a good one - and that's just what I got. If I might advance a complaint it would be that I didn't like clicking with my mouse when I had to speak/touch something as if it feels very non-practical, but I suppose it depends on my choice at the beginning about playing with both keyboard and mouse.

Bonus for the DLC: I have a soft spot for found families stories and... it really hurt. But in a good way.

So thank you for making this. I really, really liked it. And I'm going to look forward to any other game of yours.
