You have time to make Dust Evil Badge Hawool and settings and morphing that no one is curious about, but no time to review the story

I support the transparent and clean Super Creative unnies

Are you even researching how to make people feel bad and angry? How can you ruin a game like this? You're so caught up in your successful Epic Seven that you didn't see NC's Lineage failing from infinite self-replication? How can you operate in the exact same way? LOL

Got a lot of Owen, I admit it LOL

This post is written subjectively, and the information about this game is as follows.

Before we begin

I'm Gamgoyangi, who was rummaging through the Stove Indie library and brought a game that I don't even remember when I bought. The game I'm going to introduce this time is an indie, mystery, adventure game called 'For Your Tranquility'. I don't remember when I bought it, so if I were to say how I found out about it, I remember finding this game while looking for interesting game funding on Tumblr. Unlike other mystery games, it was introduced as if autopsying a corpse was the main content, so I remember thinking it was unique, and I think that's why I bought it. 'Oh, I saw this on Tumblr before? They said the autopsy was the main thing, should I try it?'
Then, before I start talking about my thoughts in earnest, I'll show you the gameplay video of this game first.

Review

First of all, to summarize the story of this game
「The protagonist (player), a forensic doctor, finds out the cause of death and the culprit of the corpse (Go Seong-hoon) found in Yangcheon River」
It could be summarized as such. At this time, although the player exists in the game as the main character, it was right to see the actual main character as the victim, 'Go Seong-hoon'. Descriptions or information about the main character are rarely revealed, while in the case of Go Seong-hoon, he was the center of the events that led the game, such as his family, (former) co-workers, and the incidents that had occurred.
There were about 4 endings, and the play time was about 2 hours based on the first play.
The game's controls were simple. Almost all operations could be done with mouse clicks (except for using ESC to open the menu).
The game's progress was also simple. Like other mystery games, you just had to gather information and find out why they died and who the culprit was.
However, the game's system was so bad that it could be seen as a disadvantage. As I will explain in detail below, I strongly felt that it did not allow even a single mistake in the reasoning process.

The game's graphics were 2D graphics with a drawing style located somewhere between animation and realistic drawing styles. I thought it was a graphic that wasn't fancy but went well with the game's calm atmosphere.
The sound was similar. There was no BGM that made me feel like 'I want to listen to it repeatedly', but calm music that went well with the game's atmosphere was played. As for the sound effects, I felt like they were all located where they needed to be.
There were no bugs, and before I divide and organize this game into strengths, weaknesses, and disappointing points, let me chat a bit. As the title of the article says, the game was fun.
In the case of other mystery games, the situation flows urgently and something fantastical (such as superpowers) is mixed in, but this game has almost none of that, and it flows calmly overall, so it felt a bit fresh. (Of course, it wasn't completely realistic, as things like 'The average digestion time of a frog is...' came out.)
However, if you look at the game's sales page and funding page, it was introduced as if autopsying a corpse was the main thing, but in reality, corpse autopsies are only a part of it, and it's actually closer to a general mystery game. (To the extent that you do directly what other games would cover with an autopsy report?)
-Advantages-

1. Unique experience (autopsy, game atmosphere)
-Most of the mystery games that come out these days have a tense flow from the BGM to the situation, but this game, in a way, includes the most stimulating scene (autopsy), but it flows calmly, giving a new feeling.
-Also, it made me have a new experience by making me write the paper directly in a situation where other games would end with just one piece of paper.
-Disadvantages-

1. Game system that does not allow mistakes (related to saving)
-Most games get criticized for not having automatic saving... This game felt like a disadvantage because it had automatic saving.
-This game's save has multiple slots, but the game was saved in a format that overwrites only one slot.
-At this time, if the game was made so that it automatically creates and loads saves at specific times or allows you to check all past statements, so that players don't have to create save points, it would have been okay, but in the case of this game, there were cases where you couldn't hear important statements you made in the past again, and you only had one chance to check additional information about the evidence (there is a high probability of obtaining information that is not necessary for the case), so it was necessary to manually create save points using multiple save slots, so the overwriting save method felt inconvenient.
-Also, automatic saving is forced at certain turns, so players had no choice but to reason with insufficient clues. (If there was no automatic saving, you could load the wrong answer/unnecessary clue and find the answer by guessing or collect clues.)

2. A different game from what is being promoted
-Again, the game itself was okay. However, I thought it was a disadvantage from the perspective of someone who bought it or participated in funding after seeing the description of this game.
-As I said above, the sales page and funding of this game described it as if the main content was the autopsy of a corpse by becoming a forensic doctor, but in reality, it was not.
-Collecting evidence, investigating people around, investigating places related to the victim (the victim's house and the house where the victim's parents live), and even reasoning and reporting who killed the victim, how, and why, etc., were things that police or detectives would do.
-Of course, I think it's possible to include things that forensic doctors don't do for the sake of fun as a characteristic of the game. However, the content of the autopsy was not a large proportion of the play time of about 2 hours, about 15 minutes, and rather, the proportion of other parts was large, so the content promoted in the game did not feel like the main content, and I felt that it was different from what was promoted.
-Disappointing points-
1. Ending
-In a way, it was related to [Disadvantage 1].
-When you submit who killed the victim, how, and why, the ending is played, but as I said above, this game does not allow mistakes, so I had to submit the test results in a half-guessing manner and watch the ending with a찝찝 feeling.
-Apart from that, the ending itself was ambiguous. The ending of this game showed the ending in a format that omitted the cutscene based on the true ending. If 10 images were used in the true ending, 8 images were used in the normal ending. (Of course, some lines are also changed.)
-So, when you watch other endings after watching the true ending, you think 'What has changed?' and you don't think you need to watch other endings, and when you watch the normal ending, you can indirectly know 'Ah, the real culprit is that character', so you don't feel the need to watch the true ending or other endings. (The case of the bad ending is different.)

Finishing

I'll finish. It was a game that you could have fun with if you didn't expect much. Other games include the process of creating an autopsy report, while this game includes the process of creating an autopsy report. However... I felt disappointed that the proportion of the autopsy was not large compared to the promotion of the autopsy as the main focus.

-Additional-
I once said when reviewing another game, 'Why are games that are meant to inform something always missing something?', and this game was also such a game.
At the end of the game, it shows that there are children who are victims of domestic violence... As I said above, I accidentally watched the ending in a situation where there was a lack of information, so I was speechless when I saw that.

If you nerf Yuki's illustration 

You'll see what the devil of disruption is, both online and offline..

You'll see what happens when a supporter becomes a hater..

You might really hear the sound of a gong..

The director here came out to do an explanation broadcast and

laughed, sighed, and only made excuses

Even if he does this, those who still support him are just part-timers, right?

So far even all character from the leak are so generic, they look like just another character which won't attract people, we need the design to be fire.

example from Epic 7 Luna

The developer are the same team, the character desiner are also same team and same person ( both game Kayron and Tenebria ) but I wonder what make character design in CZN are so NPC looking and I won't pay single dollar for any of these npc looking character. the art Kayron look way better than what the heck is that illustration.

We need Luna, bring her here and you will get a lot of new slave for your game.
