Kinda short, but interesting choice of subject nonetheless! I also liked the footage used. Makes it very grounded.

I really like the chosen topic!
The presentation feels fresh, especially for an RPGMaker game.

That was very kind, thank you! I have been playing daggerfall unity recently and wonder if learning to mod that will teach me unity.

Possibly, but I would recommend starting by just finding an interesting tutorial series on youtube and following along as the first learning steps.
Just be careful about ones older than ~3 years as terminology and compatibility has changed in Unity over time.

Either way good luck!

I loved seeing a game made in RPGMaker, used that a lot in the past, such a fun engine. And the mix between that and real life videos gave the game a unique identity. As others have said, some more choices would be nice, and maybe a bit longer of a game, but overall I had fun with it and I think you did a good job. :)

You have some nice technical accomplishments here with the real video mixed in with the CRPG style game. There's no real choices for the player though - a game must have choices e.g. It would have been cool if the player had to turn on the TV to get the news report.

I was hoping to come back and add more, but life had other plans.

I really appreciate your compliments though, they are encouraging. I made the decision to cut a lot of the things I wanted to add in favor of making a complete product.

Completing projects are something I almost never do, so the fact that I created something from start to finish was meaningful to me.

I was rather disappointed in myself that I didn't add more, I generally like to add a lot of bits and bobs. I might have to disagree that all games have choices, in a way the only way this could have been created and completed was because I stripped out all the choices and went pure story.

The new rpgmaker mz engine is quite good! It was my first game with the engine, I got it on sale a few weeks ago. Thanks for the kind words stranger.

I like that you had videos. We can even more understand the events, the game was nice but maybe a little too short. Great job !

Thank you! A lot of people found the video parts quite interesting, it may be something I experiment with in the future in longer games. Thanks for your encouragement!

Interesting approach to mix game and vide. Too short. Would love to see some evolution of that idea.
