Thanks for the reply.

It helped me get a bit more context about the game, the world, the characters, and the ideas behind the choices made in the game.

Indeed, I think that creating two inseparable characters, relying on each other, in a world where nothing is natural, everything is horrific, disgusting, and inspired by the most atrocious and disturbing things on the internet could potentially be a good idea.

Ideas like the idea that complicity between two people could be the solution to escaping a dystopia where everything is horrible and disgusting could be very interesting...

But currently... the game has far too many flaws to be truly enjoyable...

I mean, for example, all the items are *literally* shit, garbage, and semen.

I would like to remain respectful, but I don't understand how one can *literally* give human waste to their players and expect them to enjoy playing with it.

There really really really needs to be a better introduction in the game such as:

"Kene and Sabrini have been sucked into a horrific, disgusting, and disturbing hellish world, and they must use their complicity to try and escape back to a healthy and beautiful world."

Or,

"Due to an unexplained phenomenon, the dark side of the internet has transformed the world into a disgusting and abnormal hellish dystopia. Kene and Sabrini are among the few people still lucid and want to make amends."

Or even,

"Kene and Sabrini have come into contact with substances from hell that have driven them mentally insane and make them see reality as abnormal, horrible, and disgusting and they must find a way to treat it, even if it means taking risks."

In short, any kind of context that would suit both the developers' ideas and intentions, and appeal to many players... The idea for the players would thus to turn their shits back into gold.

In any case, I really hope that over time, pretty much everything the game has to offer can be reworked alot, whether it's the art (characters, enemies, sprites, map, effects, animations), the story, the jokes, the comprehension, etc.


- With all due respect to the developer and their artistic freedom.

Maybe this game isn't for me.

Honestly, I don't know who it's for. And I even wonder if it should be taken seriously....

I understood before installing it that it was a Fear & Hunger fan game.

It has some of the same mechanics... but "different," let's say.

When I started the game, there was an introduction, but I didn't really understand:

Who exactly am I?

Why?

Where am I?

What is my goal?

And above all, the first thing I wondered was,

Is there a reason behind the vulgarity?

Am I playing a drug addict, a mentally ill person, or the embodiment of vulgarity in this game?

Why are all the items drugs, excrement, or sexual things?

Is it supposed to be funny?

Honestly, it didn't make me laugh at all.

Vulgarity can be funny when there's context, a pun, something original...

So yeah, from the start, I was completely lost, I didn't understand anything, and I didn't enjoy the game.

As for the rest of the game... I think the artist could have put more effort into the drawings, animations, and sprites.

I didn't like anything about the game's graphics.

As for the story,

I couldn't understand anything.

As for the fights,

It's not very intuitive or easy to follow.

As for the aesthetics,

Well, there's nothing else to say except that it's purely edgy...

But with all the other flaws, it's hard to enjoy.

Ultimately, if this video game is meant to be considered a video game (i.e., something to play), then I can't understand how it could be truly loved...

But if it's not meant to be considered a video game, but simply an edgy art piece... well... I imagine some people might enjoy it...

But again, the creator could have really put more effort into the artwork, the animations, and above all, the originality and clarity of the game.

(If the game were difficult but its mechanics became understandable after a while, like Fear & Hunger, that would have been alright... But that's just not the case.)

Anyway, this was just my personal and subjective opinion...

I don't want to unnecessarily put the game down.

I simply wanted to share my experience for the players,

but also for the developers.

Because I sensed a certain potential when I saw some of the game's visuals.

If it were better in terms of story, fights, items, characters, worlds, overall gameplay mechanics; and more visually appealing in terms of art and animation; then it could be a good game.
