8 of 8 · most liked firstIt's not easy to find concrete information about this game (in English), so this review is mainly to explain the structure and objectives of the game, not my personal opinion. If you'd rather go into it with the full mystery experience, don't read this. If this is too vague, there are Steam guides that explain everything, including how to complete the game. There are 2 main ways to progress in the game: 1) Collect the dice. 2) Solve the riddle. Collecting dice happens automatically by just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game. It's very pretty, the music is good, the UI is minimal but what's here is very useable. The gameplay is, for what I have seen of it, is very simple, you roll dice and get "hints" depending on what you roll, rolling the indicated dice changes the scene, if you roll the Connexion symbol then you will get to combine two hints to make a third, and you can get more dice by rolling the same thing multiple times. The story, or, well, "story" seems to be very esoteric, if you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A mix of puzzle and interactive fiction. You must create a narrative from fragments using dice and combining clues. Gameplay: https://youtu.be/48D5hyVfGPI This gameplay is very unique. To uncover the plot/read the full story, you must complete several game cycles. Hints divided into six main types. The type of clue is indicated by its color and the symbol in the upper right corner of its text card. You can see these symbols on the dice. Initially, you receive a few hints and can only roll…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I REALLY wanted to like this one because of the aesthetic but I did not. As much as I love a game that makes you discover it's mechanics and interactions, this one is just opaque. If a game wants you to discover how it should be played, it needs to be DESIGNED around that idea. A game like that needs to reward exploration, and the mechanics themselves should reward the player's trial an error in a way that lets them know they are actually doing what is intended. This game has none of that.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a nice game! An amazing story and an even better way to tell it. You are rolling dice for small pieces of information. At first, it feels completely random, but the more you progress, the more you piece things together and eventually you know what to look for and you push certain subjects to discover more. This is a truly brilliant way to tell a cosmic horror story. You don't just read or see that your character is confused, you are confused yourself. You experience the confusion, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Whisper of Y’Ryando is an experimental narrative puzzle game developed by IndieCain in collaboration with YuetXD and published by IndieCain, and it is a title that very deliberately challenges conventional expectations of storytelling and gameplay structure. Rather than guiding players through a clearly defined plot or a sequence of traditional puzzles, the game presents itself as an abstract mystery that must be slowly uncovered through observation, interpretation, and synthesis. From the very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great story, even though some translation is a bit rough. Excellent atmosphere, really nails that old Cultist sim feel. Would really benefit from some QoL features, like the ability to skip early stages after beating the game, to make getting all the lore less of a grind.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, deep Lovecraftian world that reveals itself slowly as you play. It has a lot more depth than it appears to at first. I'm looking forward to many more hours working out everything that is going on.
