Sayonara Golden Days

Sayonara Golden Days it's more like an experience to see how a gaming club and friend group broke apart, which is done in an artistic manner, putting the gameplay somewhat on the side line. I think the topic this game is about is interesting and also bringing up good questions about it. It does reminds me to my own experiences and memories about the topic, and mainly this is the why the game is well liked and it's cleverly done. The story also helps you to understand what is going on, but you don't need to listen filler conversations or infos which are not as important. The puzzles are not as difficult to get through, although there will be a few which might look impossible but you can realize how the game is put together and you will find the solution. Now I really want to say that everything else in the game feels generic and really hard to enjoy for a longer period of time, not even mentioning that the voice acting is pretty lackluster aswell and the graphics is not that outstanding to be frank, but I understand this is exactly the direction the devs wanted to go for because of the premise of the game, playing an amateur game basically. However I think it's important to mention this, because people might misunderstand and have way more to expect. To me, this is more like a notion and an experience, not a game. I appreciate what is about and playing it one time was completely fine to me, but that's about it. If this got your attention, ready to give an hour or so from your time and pay like a cup of coffee's price for the game, then yes I can recommend this to you. Okay for a single playthrough, but that's about it.

I enjoyed my time with this game. The concept is simple and interesting, the puzzle solving was decent, and I enjoyed the story. The voice acting felt overproduced, and under-acted. It serves the game fine, but the delivery felt like a narration, rather than a conversation. The puzzle gameplay WAS a little janky, but I don't consider that a bad thing in this case. In the story, it's an unfinished puzzle game, so it makes more narrative sense for it to be unpolished. Overall, not bad at all. I had a good time.

A very short game. HOWEVER, the story made me feel something. And I really liked it. I wasn't enthralled at first, but then I noticed a pattern that started to make me feel differently. Honestly, spending the $2 was worth it for just the story. I actually really liked the puzzles too. The puzzles weren't super hard, but they made you think even just a little bit. I recommend this game just because the developers actually made me feel something which, most games don't do that to me anymore, so good job!
