oath

Ты чувствуешь его руку на своей щеке. Ты не знаешь, почему ты ничего не можешь сказать. Разве так и должно быть? Бояться — это нормально? ✦ Довольно хорошая и крутая игра с классным экспирионсом, уникальная идея и интересная идея, хорошо реализованные. Некоторые шероховатости и нудности у игры есть, особенно рыбалка. Большая часть игры создана для того, чтобы создатель мог поблагодарить своих друзей-музыкантов (Джимбо) — я не против, это довольно мило. Впринципе игра своих денег стоит, к покупке рекомендуется лол. ✦

first of all i got to know about the soundtrack before the game and i gen loved it so much and the game oml its phenomenal and somehow rlly relatable !! thank you vai5000 for this game and the soundtrack i gen love it

I've been a fan of vai5000's music for a while, but Oath found me at a strangely important point in my life. I am dealing with my own emotional fallout right now, and its focus on trauma, loss, regret, and all of those lingering "what if" thoughts hit much closer to home than I expected. It does not give you any clean answers, but it gave me a space to sit with some feelings I have been trying to sort through. Maybe this is just a phase in my own life, but Oath arrived at exactly the right time and felt less like something I was simply playing and more like something I genuinely needed. The game itself is a super simple RPG maker game, but that works in its favor. The minimal visuals, little references to other games and music, and excellent soundtrack all support the emotional core without getting in its way. If you are already a fan of vai5000, it is absolutely worth playing for the price, but I think it also has something meaningful to offer anyone carrying around their own loss, unanswered questions, or difficult feelings. Edit after finishing There Is a You That Remains: I went back and completed the DLC, and it easily gave me another couple of hours with Oath. It is a bit more open-ended than the main game, sometimes maybe a little too open-ended, and there were points where finding my way around became frustrating. That being said, the ending completely broke me in a good way. I am keeping this vague to avoid spoilers, but it reinforced everything I appreciated about the original experience and made me even happier that I played it.
