Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:02
cons of the demo for the video game
0:05
Shepherd's Eye on Not Now Mom, I'm
0:08
Gaming. These are short videos featuring
0:10
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:12
to show too much in the spoiler
0:13
department. Links to this review are in
0:16
the description below. Let the reviewing
0:18
begin. Rose title screen music slaps.
0:23
That's such a stupid way to word it and
0:24
I apologize, but I really like just
0:26
sitting on the title screen and
0:27
listening to the music. It's something
0:29
that you just kind of bob your head to
0:31
and think, "All right, I could dig in if
0:32
the game come up with more stuff like
0:34
this." It definitely got my attention
0:36
from the start. Choices have
0:38
consequences. Not every choice is going
0:41
to have a consequence, I don't think,
0:42
but there are definitely times when
0:44
you'll notice if you've chosen an answer
0:46
that you'll either regret or come to
0:48
agree with just as much as the
0:49
characters do. Normally, a notification
0:52
will happen in the upper right if a
0:54
choice has made something of an outcome.
0:56
Then there are times when you have an
0:57
item that you can choose to do something
0:59
with and that may bite you in the butt
1:01
in the future. So it's not always answer
1:03
based. You can in fact make a choice
1:06
that can ultimately screw your game over
1:08
if the ending I got is anything to go by
1:10
in the demo. Quirky characters. The
1:13
characters are quite fun to speak to and
1:15
get to know. And I like quirky
1:16
characters because it's very disarming
1:18
when they actually turn for the worse
1:20
because you feel blindsided in the end.
1:23
Not saying that these people would do
1:24
that, but in a psychological horror
1:27
game, it does start to make you
1:28
suspicious of everyone, as they can't
1:30
all possibly be likable without some
1:32
caveats, right? But yeah, for once, I
1:35
don't think there's a character I
1:36
dislike so far in the game
1:40
Cons: cell texts are slow. In the
1:44
beginning, you have the option of going
1:45
through several texts, and you know,
1:47
when someone's in the process of
1:48
texting, you see the three dots. Yeah,
1:51
that happens here at the start is
1:52
someone texting and it just takes way
1:54
too long for the text to come through,
1:56
especially with the boss because they've
1:58
got a long paragraph coming through and
2:00
I guess that needs extra time.
2:03
Shephering game went on too long. While
2:06
this game mainly consists of a visual
2:08
novel, there are sections that split up
2:09
the VN aspect with some mini games and
2:12
one of those mini games is for the dog
2:14
to shepherd a certain amount of sheep
2:15
into pens. There were five different
2:18
sections to the Shepherd game and the
2:20
fifth one I was done. Literally done. I
2:24
just waited until the timer ran out,
2:26
which didn't matter because I had to
2:27
start the level over again, implying
2:29
that I had to do it because there's no
2:31
skip function. I was a little irked at
2:33
this, but on trying to find the final
2:35
sheep, there was a section above that I
2:36
could go through to enter a little
2:38
scene. So, technically, it wasn't all
2:40
about shephering, but I still say five
2:42
times is too much. I was good at three
2:46
jump scares. Too loud. There were two of
2:49
them that happened during my time in
2:50
playing the demo, and the first one was
2:52
crazy loud, even though my master volume
2:54
was probably at at 25% and all the other
2:57
sliders were at 100. I'd hate to have
2:59
heard it with the volume on max because
3:01
I don't think my eardrums would have
3:02
been pleased. I get that jump scares are
3:04
sometimes just sound that make you jump,
3:06
but that sound should be sudden and out
3:08
of nowhere, not incredibly loud. And
3:11
that's the end of a pros and cons review
3:12
for the demo of Shepherd's Eye. Thanks
3:15
for watching everyone, and don't get in
3:17
too much trouble when you say, "Not now,
