Salamander County Public Television

Набор необычных, в меру сложных мини-игр, сделанных из вроде как стоковых картинок. Даже сюжет есть. Он забавный и с долей бреда (в сравненее можно сопоставить Stocktales от Sr Pelo). Есть в этой игре какая-то домашняя атмосфера, будто смотришь видео с Ютуба времён 2014 годов.

Settings are bare. Game has no HDR support and ends up washed out because of it. There's a ton of white in the screens of this game, too, so it's bright to look at. Best to play this game with half brightness or lower on your monitor. Wish it had a dark mode or theme settings to combat the brightness issues. The main menu shows up between each day and plays new video clips for the TV network. Some of the clips are laugh out loud funny, but some of the clips are boring and dull. The clips feel TV adjacent but don't feel like they're playing on an actual network. The game would benefit from having a 3D retro environment for the player to explore that replicates an old 90s TV and an old 90s desktop, but it doesn't even try to do that. The desktop OS environment is just a background image to convey a vibe during the messages. The clips are mostly shown on the main menu in a right-aligned bubble. Minigames are the focus of this game with each day featuring a bunch of text-to-speech enabled dialogue on an instant messaging platform followed by a single minigame you have to play. I think the layout could have been better with more than one game per day, because each game only takes a few minutes top. The minigames are hit-or-miss and vary greatly in their quality and replayability. Most of the games have a degree of figure-it-out difficulty but become easy as hell once you figure it out. Overall, it's mildly fun and humorous but greatly flawed. It's a fun retro Windows vibe, but it misses the TV vibes a lot of the time. The use of the start screen between each day makes it hard to stay immersed in this game world. There's nothing to explore or find out. You just play the games and let the story unfold mostly without your character saying anything. If you enjoy the stupidity of the story and games, you'll laugh here and there and enjoy some of the games, but if you are expecting some explorable desktop stuff or TV station sim stuff, you'll be greatly disappointed.

Lowkey was strongarmed into buying this game because they have a waffle background on the point shop but I had to have 2 hours of playtime before I could get it.......BUT I ended up enjoying this weird ass game very much, quick, a solid challenge and a very nice ost <3
