in the past


It was part of the "Missing Calm" Bundle (the publisher) that contained the game "Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk" that I really wanted to play. The bundle was around 5 dollars. I thought I'd give it a shot since it was in it.

Brief Description

This game is a short visual novel based around the day of a light house keeper. He is dealing with some emotions in regards to his obsession with the lighthouse. There are two puzzles that lead to two different endings. The art style of this game pulled me in as well.

Pros
-I really like the scenic shots. The visuals in my opinion really make this game nice looking and unique.
-I like the writing quite a bit; very interesting. Having the reader agreeing with such an unhinged protagonist is very neat.
-Cool ambiance and sound usage; I enjoyed it.
-I like the theme of the game and the endings. I think it is very interesting seeing a protagonist written like this-- where he is obsessed with the lighthouse and is engulfed in selfishness. It really makes for cool endings that leave you feeling a bit disturbed.
-I love how you can skip/click past text you have already seen. Playing "My name is You and it's the only unusual thing in my life" really made me appreciate that feature so much more.

Cons
-The narration was not bad in my opinion. I think the dude did a good job. However, him mispronouncing words in English was a tad bit distracting. But overall, I enjoyed the emotion he put into it; but the slip ups took me out a little of the immersion.
-Some scenes are used a lot more than once on one playthrough. Can be a bit repetitive.
-Not too much too it content-wise, but considering the price that's what I expected.

Neat visual novel. I probably would not play it again, but I think its a good short story, especially considering the very fair price.
