Game version: [v0.1]
That sick feeling when you realize you have a sudden, grudging respect for games you didn't like because you just played something that is so fucking shit and embarrassing that you appreciate all the work and effort someone else put into a game you don't even think is good, because it's still 50x better than the hot garbage that just killed half your brain cells.
Like, sometimes you need to take a step back and go "Wow, technically competent renders and coherent English sentences? Woah dude, even music and sound effects?" and even if you think the story is garbage or there aren't enough choices, at least someone put actual effort into that thing and tried to make something of quality.
Then there's the 0.1 from Hell, which has renders that would have been considered shit tier 10 years ago, no sound at all, and the typos start in the very first line and never stop. The story is incoherent, derivative wish-fulfillment garbage, the characters are cardboard cutouts and the writing, in general, is just embarrassing, like the entire project.
I will never understand people who put hours and days into making renders and then treat the accompanying text and story as an afterthought and can't even be bothered to run spellcheck on it. Like, aren't you embarrassed to put this out into the world? You should be.
