Moving Down [Ch.3 Part 1] [MironY]
I have to say, I was seriously disappointed by "Moving Down." It's not often that I come across a game that left me feeling this frustrated and unsatisfied. From the moment I started playing, I could tell it was going to be a rough ride, and boy, was I right.
Let's start with the main character. What a train wreck. Seriously, it's one thing to have a flawed protagonist, but this guy took self-sabotage to a whole new level. I found myself constantly shaking my head at his mind-bogglingly irrational decisions. I mean, come on, we're talking about basic life choices here, not rocket science. It got to the point where I couldn't muster an ounce of empathy for him. His unwavering commitment to that toxic relationship with his wife had me rolling my eyes more times than I can count.
Speaking of his wife, her transformation was just plain jarring. She went from being this seemingly supportive and intelligent partner to a sadistic monster, and the game tried to pass it off as some kind of Stockholm syndrome. It felt forced and completely unconvincing, like a poorly executed plot twist in a low-budget thriller.
My emotions while playing this game were all over the place, but not in a good way. I swung between frustration at the character's sheer stupidity and a strange desire for him to break free from his misery. But let me be clear, that desire came from annoyance, not genuine concern.
And don't even get me started on the game's world. It was filled with malicious predators that left me wondering what the heck the writer was thinking. Was this supposed to be a deep commentary on the harsh realities of life, or was it just a cynical and pessimistic take on human relationships? I couldn't tell, and by the time I was hoping for some answers, I realized this game wasn't in the business of offering satisfying conclusions.
Oh, and Deborah, one of the characters, was an absolute low point. Her actions were despicable, and her appearance felt like a caricature taken to the extreme. It was as if the game was trying way too hard to make her repulsive.
The only silver lining in this whole ordeal was the smooth jazz music in the office scenes. It was like a tiny glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak and agonizing experience.
In the end, "Moving Down" is a game that's sure to divide players. It might appeal to those who enjoy wallowing in the darkest aspects of human nature, but for me, it was a game that left me questioning my life choices, wondering why I had subjected myself to such a frustrating and unsatisfying ordeal. Save your time and skip this one.
