oh god. what the fuck has to be wrong with you to make a game where its just plot. no gameplay just plot. oh my god. its like making a book thats just the cover.
theres nothing good about this game, nothing. my favorite part of cafdea was when i uninstalled it from my hard drive. then reformatted and gave my computer away to someone else, who didn’t know. why did they think it would be a good idea to take those I’M A HUMAN im bots and put them in a 3d environment and give them fucking voice acting.
basically if you say anything other than one of like five preset responses they scan your sentence for keywords that are weighted to lead them down one of the five paths you could have gone down. so like, if you just give a total non sequiter, like they’re like “hey *player* what do you think of that painting” and you’re like “i fear waffles” then dafeca will be like well, you said fear, and this ai character fears being poor, so let’s have him say “what do you mean you think im afraid?”
so you get dialogue that just doesnt make any sense. and even if you try to play along and give responses you think would be anticipated its really awkward because you dont know what responses were expected. especially when its not a yes no question, like how am i supposed to know what the fucking polish asshole who programmed this thinks i should say. i dont. anything i say can be misinterpreted. and in a game where the only mechanic is saying things thats fucking dumb.
even when eaafcd asks you yes no questions it puts you under zany pressure because like, its so easy to be misinterpreted. you know those retarded msas ecteff style games where the response you choose in dialogue isnt necessarily what your character says? here its exactly like that except you dont even know ~what~ your character said. theyll be like “do you like my sofa” and youll be like “yeah” and theyll be like “what do you ~mean~ im too picky.”
and its not even their fault really, like the technology to do these fake im clients isnt to the point where theyre indistinguishable from humans. so why are they trying to shoehorn them into games as the primary mechanic oh my god. its like if they made a game about cellular automata in 1962 when it took a whole storage room of hard drives to store a text file with the information “aefadc is a piece of shit”
