Three Rules of Life [v0.4.0] [Red Dust]
I recently had the opportunity to play "Three Rules of Life," and I must say that my experience left me with mixed feelings. While the game had its moments of enjoyment, it also had some notable shortcomings that I couldn't ignore.
Let's start with what worked well. The romantic encounters with characters like Penny, Ruby, and Daniele were undeniably the high points of the game. These scenes were beautifully crafted with engaging dialogue and a depth of emotion that made it easy to become genuinely invested in the relationships. These moments provided the emotional core of the game and were its strongest aspect.
However, my enthusiasm waned when it came to the characters themselves, particularly the protagonist. I found it challenging to connect with or even care about the protagonist. They came across as passive and strangely detached from the events happening around them. It left me yearning for a more fleshed-out character with agency and depth.
Damon, the loyal best friend, had potential with his charisma, but the friendship between him and the protagonist felt disappointingly shallow. I wanted more substantial interactions and conversations that would deepen their relationship, but it felt like they barely scratched the surface.
Mira, on the other hand, seemed like a character forcibly inserted into the storyline. Her constant reliance on the protagonist for financial support was frustrating, and it made it difficult to form a genuine connection with her. Additionally, the inconsistent descriptions of characters, especially in terms of their attractiveness, were distracting and disrupted the immersion.
The political subplot, which initially intrigued me, turned out to be confusing and seemingly irrelevant. Characters kept pushing me to take action, but their explanations for why I should care lacked substance. This left me feeling disconnected from what should have been a pivotal part of the story.
While the visuals did improve as the story progressed, it felt like a case of too little, too late. The game's music, while decent at times, lacked consistency in its impact and failed to create a cohesive atmosphere.
In conclusion, "Three Rules of Life" had the potential to deliver an engaging and emotionally charged gaming experience, but it fell short in execution. The protagonist lacked depth and agency, supporting character relationships needed more meaningful development, the political subplot was confusing, and character descriptions were inconsistent. However, the well-crafted romantic scenes offered glimmers of hope. If the game undergoes significant revisions to address these issues, it might have a chance to redeem itself. As it stands, it's a mixed bag of emotions that leaves much to be desired.
