Gráficos lindinhos, trilha sonora muito boa e uma história cativante com uma mensagem muito pertinente! Só queria que fosse mais longo, sinto que vários segmentos do jogo poderiam ter sido expandidos, bem como o desenvolvimento de alguns personagens. O elenco do jogo é muito bom, queria mais tempo com eles. Enfim, LARGUEM O CELULAR VÃO VIVER!
In a world stuck on digital connections, the only way Holland, the main character, is going to get through this breakup with her sanity intact is to go analog!
Land of Screens is a short story game about ditching the world of social media to focus on more real world connections with your friends and family. You play as Holland, a girl who lives in a world dominated by the screens of our phones and the hooks of social media, a world that is very similar to our own.
This game is such a cute, vibrant and surprisingly relevant game that captures the essence of today's culture of social media being such a priority in our lives and the anxiety that comes along with it. The game's message is pretty obvious, but it definitely isn't fully anti-internet/social media/phone, but it's one that is supported by some excellent writing, characters and art that makes it seem less like a hammer to the head and more like a light nudging in a certain, maybe even the right, direction.
I liked Holland as a main character and she was very relatable. However, it felt like she was being slightly hypocritical. She gets upset that after their broke up, which was apparently something she knew was coming, her ex starts dating a new girl almost right away but very close to that happening, she went on a date herself with a random guy she meets at a hotel lobby. I guess it just felt to me like she was doing the exact same thing that got her upset to begin with.
The soundtrack was absolutely banging and I would loved to have heard the band, A Pony for Princess, as a real band. Their music was great ;).
In the end, this game is absolutely a fantastic indie game, and a definite keeper. The game might be a little on the shorter side, but definitely worth it!

A surprisingly good visual novel; I really thought I'd dislike it from the concept. Well written, well paced, and nice visuals. Only downside was the ending was unfortunately quite abrupt.
