Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:02
cons of the demo for the video game an
0:05
Abyss of Dreams on Not Now Mom, I am
0:10
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. Pros: Click to move. It was hard
0:23
to find another pro. All right. But what
0:26
I mean by adding a pro like click to
0:28
move in this kind of game is that sort
0:30
of adds a sense of dread and what you're
0:32
going to come up against around the
0:33
corner in a room you're about to enter
0:36
or just up ahead in general. If you're
0:38
unsure about what I'm talking about,
0:40
it's the same movement as the game at
0:42
Dead of Night, but not nearly as creepy
0:44
when it comes to the movement. You've
0:46
already got a place that's unsettling
0:48
due to the sisters having either such
0:50
strict rules or just a rule from the
0:52
kids in avoiding certain ones. So
0:54
knowing you're not in third or first
0:56
person and wandering around at your own
0:57
pace means you don't really know what
0:59
you're up against. Then again, maybe
1:01
it's not as creepy as I'm letting on.
1:07
Truthfully, I'm not even sure objectives
1:09
could have helped me out with the
1:10
situation I was in, but it would still
1:12
be nice to have them just to have
1:14
everything in order for what you need to
1:15
do, even if the objectives are in the
1:18
menu section of the game instead of
1:19
blatantly on the screen. But as you
1:21
might have guessed, I wasn't able to
1:23
finish the game due to not understanding
1:24
what I needed to do next. Sure, there
1:26
were things that needed done, like
1:28
opening a chest and speaking to a boy in
1:30
a cage. However, in order to open the
1:32
chest, I had to do something with the
1:34
boy, and I couldn't talk to the boy
1:36
because a sister was in the same room.
1:38
So, I probably needed to get her to
1:40
leave. This was where I had no idea on
1:42
how to go about that. I wandered
1:45
everywhere and found nothing worth
1:46
looking into. Perhaps objectives would
1:49
have helped with this or maybe a hint in
1:51
the right direction from the boy or any
1:53
other character I could have come
1:54
across, but it just didn't happen and I
1:57
didn't get through the demo. Sometimes
1:59
text wouldn't continue. I don't know
2:02
why, unless it's because I wasn't
2:04
clicking in the middle of the text box
2:05
itself because for some reason there's
2:08
something about certain visual novels
2:10
which I wouldn't use as a label for this
2:12
game. But they want you to click inside
2:14
the box in order to progress the text
2:16
instead of clicking anywhere to continue
2:17
the novel. And it's infuriating.
2:20
I move my mouse a lot, so it's never
2:22
going to stay in one place, even when
2:24
there's nothing to interact with on the
2:26
screen. So making us click on top of the
2:28
text just to move on to the next portion
2:30
is dumb. We've read the text. Let us
2:33
click anywhere to continue. Otherwise,
2:35
we're going to spam click, wondering why
2:37
nothing is happening and thinking the
2:40
And that's the end of a pros and cons
2:42
review of the demo for the video game An
2:47
Thanks for watching everyone, and don't
2:48
get in too much trouble when you say,

"Not now, Mom. I am gaming.
