I've been meaning to leave feedback on games I try here for some time. I've played games that regardless of their erotic qualities, are objectively good, mediocre, and bad games to play. I can say with certainty that Vizonica is one of, if not the worst video game I have played, let alone 18+. Save your time and go do anything else. I promise you will finish whatever it is in a shorter amount of time than making even 1% of progress here.
Pros:
Graphically passable I guess.
Walking animation is seductive initially but see below.
-----
Cons:
There is absolutely no sprint button. You will permanently walk at a snail's pace for at least the first hour of the game (Likely longer).
Both main characters have to be moved separately. Meaning the aforementioned hassle of spending 20+ minutes to get one character to the correct spot is doubled.
All cut-scenes I saw appeared to be unskippable.
Settings are hard-baked and can not be changed despite the options menu allowing you to move sliders (Meaning the smooth jazz track on loop can not be muted).
-----
Suggestions:
I'm not a game dev, but I think going forward I should leave suggestions to improve the game rather than just ending the review there. Personally, the main things that need to be addressed if this game wanted to be playable:
- Either a sprint mechanic and/or the ability to move both characters with speed (Potentially done through a top-down perspective like in RTSGs?).
- Customizable settings & keybinds.
- Either shorten the introduction or add even minor things for the player to do during it (Like a test dummy to test combat mechanics or a scripted enemy encounter).
If the game wants to be clear about being an erotic title, then I would optionally do the following:
- Add some erotic scene with the main characters or suggestive dialogue during the intro.
I also know the game is abandoned, but always worth leaving feedback. You never know if the dev could come back (Very unlikely but always possible) or if I could save someone the trouble of booting the game up.
