dkirschner's Always Sometimes Monsters (PC)

[October 2, 2015 11:55:10 PM]

Well, there is no way I can endure 10 hours of this. I made it 1. It’s a To the Moon style RPG set in some modern city, maybe New York. You’re an artist or some shit, broke, doing odd jobs for money. You can talk to all the stereotypical NPCs on the block – the club kid, the drug dealer, the construction worker, the bouncer, the old lady apartment neighbor who needs your help, etc., etc. I think that the goal is to pay rent because your asshole landlord (and aren’t all landlords assholes, really?) is such an asshole that he is going to take your key and kick you out if you don’t pay $500 by today. Life sure is hard, womp womp. So I went to my friend’s show at the club and my ex-girlfriend/his ex-girlfriend showed up with a bag of heroin for him (how edgy!) to calm his nerves before the show. I set his gear up all wrong and he only paid me $25. What a jerk. But, hey, I can still work the coat rack or choose to go help my elderly neighbor clean her apartment for more cash. I did try and steal $50 from a safe earlier that led to game over, so it looks like you can only earn money through legal means, even though other characters are drug dealers. Oh, I did swipe $25 from a girl by buying her fake drugs. Man, isn’t life crazy?!~ This must be like the lives of indie game developers. They must all be hardened heroin addict musicians or something. So cool. So hip. So jaded.

The coolest thing about this game is it seems that you can sort of choose the main character by whomever you talk to first in the opening. I happened to choose a lesbian, so go gender equality! Seriously, I’m all for that. But everything else has been laughable. A Humble Bundle bomb.
