wondrous!
It does a good job of giving an experience that really captures social anxiety and depression. I liked the art style and the writing was good as well.
Amazing artwork, great sound track
amazing story from start to finish and I like the art and graphics throughout the whole game ! :)
Love the game!!!! Great graphics !
10/10 Amazing game :)))
Amazing game, and I got to appreciate the OST. Really good stuff!!!
Bravo for the unique concept and the implementation! I ve never played a game like that before.
This visual novel has very unique graphics and the plot line was insightful to me. I felt that I could relate with many stressing moments that the main character has and its bizarre atmosphere made me feel uncomfortable and a bit scared on what to expect after each scene.
It deserves 5/5 stars for its uniqueness as a whole.
I found Shape of the circle to be an absolute gem of a game. I found the story really compelling from start to finish. The character's struggles and vulnerabilities draw you in, making their experiences feel incredibly relatable. I also found the pacing to be spot on. The voice acting, although very little, I enjoyed it every time. And let's not forget the stunning art, it felt like every visual element connected perfectly, enhancing the overall experience.
However I had two problems with the game that related with the UI.
1. I had trouble seeing the Buttons at the bottom of screen most of the time as they blended with the background.
2. Before I started the game the preferences tab kinda bugged out and it kept showing me the starting screen options.
It's a really well made game. I like the theme and the art a whole lot. The voice acting in different languages does a lot to represent how confusing the main character is. Looking forward to your next project!
LOVE THE STORYLINE, it almost made me cry tbh
I've played a lot of games but games who actually talk about mental health problems are rare. AND THIS GAME ACTUALLY DEPICTED HOW MY BRAIN WORKS.... i just.. damn it's actually really good
had great sound effect... text effects were great too.. and the artwork? great.
BUT
here's some things you can improve:
UI
I mean when you were editing the gui file, you forgot a few things so when i open the about page or the preference page or any other page from the main menu before starting the game, the texts overlap themselves... lemme just give you some screenshots.
you see, I think you kinda forgot to put things properly and messed it up....
whenever a new player will play this game, most people would just go to the about section and read it. your about section had nothing. You can improve your game by giving it a good about section too...
besides that, great game man. would love to see more in the future
That's the most beautiful thing you could have written ❤️ Reading it really makes me smile and hope to make more stuff in the future.
As for the UI, you are right, I completely forgot that part, because i submitted the game 15 minutes before the deadline haha. I'll DEFINITELY fix that.
Thank you for your review, it made me really happy.
Very well made. The game explores an interesting theme (intrusive thoughts), through a delicate combination of beautiful music, art and story-telling that admits of great craftmanship and makes the experience feel immersive and unique. It is a must.
I appreciate you a lot thank you!
