Decent walking/floating sim the presentation is nice and the story is interesting but I think the way it is told makes it a bit tedious to consume moving from room to room listening to not that interesting dialogue to piece out a narrative its something that can work and to an extent it does here but I wasn't super gripped by it
O conceito é bem interessante, mas achei que não conseguiu entregar muito bem. Não me conectei com os personagens, demorei demais pra engajar na história e... acho que essa era a ideia principal...
Tacoma struggles with a lackluster narrative and limited interactivity, making it a disappointing exploration in an otherwise intriguing space station setting.
Feels like a movie. Finished in under 3 hours I think. Good Game.
It was short and sweet. Would have liked some more interactable objects like the pool table. Enjoyed the story even though it wasn't particulary exciting
Tacoma is a great little game which tells its brilliant story in a really unique way. Despite never meeting them, the characters aboard the Tacoma are full of charm, and you get attached to them rather quickly, especially given how you learn a lot about them not just through AR recordings but by examining the spaces they inhabit throughout the ship - the environmental storytelling is really superb. The humour and easter eggs found throughout the game also elevate this; one book references the fact that Elon Musk became president and incorporated Tesla with Google, truly the darkest of all futures...
Regardless, I love how the plot unfolded and how you learn about what really happened aboard the Tacoma. The conflicts between the Venturis Corporation and the workers' union and socialist movements are really compelling, but I do wish they could have been explored more. The game's ultimate narrative payoff was satisfying, and I don't think it could have really been done better without increasing the length of the game. Overall I really do recommend it! And if you're looking for something similar I recommend checking out event[0].
