A Heads up for those looking to buy this!

[kouen2010]

In case anyone is looking at this game for the trophies given the price just some things for you to note before you pick it up

 

1. This game is highly luck-based - If you have an unlucky spawn the trash will be far from the kitchen and/or the AI will decide to set the noises off as far from the kitchen as possible
2. Taking out the trash and turning off noises is all that you do
3. There is no story to speak of
4. and lastly, if you want to pick up where you left off to check the load data, for some reason it makes a save for every single shift

 

Hope this helps people know what they are getting into when they pick up this "game".

This is one of the worst games I ever played. I hoped it was going to be some simple horror like "Emily Wants to Play". Nope, barely any effort in all categories.

 It's strange how it got a physical release.

I had played both Emily games and I would rather have those than this game.  The controls for this game are clunky and its hit detection (when interacting with the objects) is the worst!  Most of the time we cannot pick up the plates no matter how much we spam  and the object is already right in front of us.

 

This is a PC game that they had later ported onto consoles - designed for use with a mouse for directions, pointing and clicking.  Transition this to a controller or joypad's  and  and they are horrible.  It does not help that the look sensitivity settings for the analogue sticks are joint together rather than separate and make the X and Y axis independent.

 

Then of course it is all about getting a favourable RNG and hope the game throws us a good combination of the plates being near the counter and the kitchen and that stupid Chief Laughing Bird not constantly giving us noises at the back office.  So it is just a matter of restarting a level over and over until we get this good combination.  There is no skill needed in this game, its mechanics are just so simple - pick up the rubbish and put them in the bin while turning off the noises, it is this simple.

 

The game developers or porters of the game could have made some adjustments for consoles like: 

• auto picking the rubbish or dishes once we stand in front of them.
• picking up those annoying packets of crisps on the floor freezes the clock for a bit.
• ended the trophy requirements to complete shifts at Day 25, but the game just carries on after that.
• added trophies to pick up a combination of items together in sequence - still RNG but this could have been fun.

These would have made the gaming experience less frustrating and a bit more pleasant.  But instead they chose to be lazy and less creative.  Shame really, there was a huge potential for this game to be fun.

As it currently stands it is just one hell of a poor and annoying port.
