Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of a demo for the video game Time
0:05
and Place on Not Now Mom, I'm Gaming.
0:09
These are short videos featuring
0:11
gameplay clips or screenshots so as not
0:13
to show too much in the spoiler
0:14
department. Links to this review are in
0:16
the description below. Let the reviewing
0:19
begin. Bros, hold keybind to see tasks.
0:24
I really like how you hold a keybind in
0:26
order to look at the task you need to
0:27
complete and then they disappear when
0:29
you release the button. It saves a lot
0:31
of room on the screen when you don't
0:32
have the objectives there for you to see
0:34
at all times. Cons: a lot on the title
0:38
screen. We've got seven things to choose
0:41
from on the left side of the title
0:42
screen as far as what we want to do and
0:44
then an eighth option down at the bottom
0:46
that can't even be read. It's shoved so
0:48
far down. And apparently that's your
0:51
ticket to exiting out of the game. I
0:53
mean, this is upon starting the game for
0:55
the first time. I can already continue
0:58
as well as load game. I also understand
1:00
wanting people to leave feedback and
1:02
wish list, but again, it just adds so
1:04
much clutter onto the left side of the
1:06
screen, it's almost overwhelming.
1:08
Lack of keyboard and mouse icons. I
1:11
believe this game is meant primarily to
1:13
be played with a controller. That's what
1:15
the keybind icons for which buttons to
1:17
press suggest, but you can also do
1:19
things with a mouse at least. But the
1:20
keybinds aren't there. And if they are,
1:23
the icons switch from keyboard to
1:25
controller too quickly. It definitely
1:27
moves around a lot smoother on
1:28
controller, so it's a bit annoying that
1:30
the keyboard and mouse can be tried
1:32
despite it being so janky. Character
1:35
vibrates in the hallway. I don't know
1:37
what we were so excited about, or maybe
1:39
it was the coffee we drank, but man,
1:42
were we buzzing as soon as we entered
1:43
the hallway. My brain was ringing from
1:46
how much we were vibrating, and it
1:47
didn't stop until we entered another
1:48
room. lag after picking up notes. There
1:52
are some notes in your room that are
1:54
sitting on a desk. When I picked one of
1:56
them up, the entire game went into lag
1:58
mode. It was as if everything was moving
2:00
at 10 FPS. And man, did that kill my
2:02
brain to witness. Luckily, I'd completed
2:05
the major tasks at that point and could
2:06
end the game. But o, tasks can be
2:09
confusing. For the most part, they're
2:12
pretty clear on what needs to be done,
2:13
and you can find what you need fairly
2:15
easily. But there was one where you had
2:17
to have a high score on a fishing game,
2:18
I think, and I had absolutely no idea
2:20
where to look for that one. I did watch
2:23
Superman on the TV during my search,
2:24
though, so there's that. We look away
2:27
from computer to type. Yeah, finishing
2:30
up our writing was a bit janky. I
2:32
actually only wrote a line before the
2:34
objective was finished, and that line
2:35
was named a complete sentence. It turns
2:38
out in order to actually write
2:39
everything on the computer, you have to
2:40
look all around your room. Maybe we hate
2:43
what we write and don't want to look at
2:45
it. But props does for being able to
2:47
write backwards while not f facing the
2:50
And that's the end of a pros and cons
2:52
review of the demo for Time and Place.
