    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of "Aliya's Awakening: Doge 2042" has received mixed feedback, with some players appreciating its engaging sci-fi/cyberpunk narrative and interesting characters, while others criticize it for being overly simplistic and AI-generated. Many found the plot enjoyable and filled with twists, though pacing issues and a lack of depth were noted. Overall, it offers a fun, point-and-click experience that appeals to fans of casual storytelling, despite its flaws.

    • “Okay, so I just finished the game. I have to admit, I only got it because it's free-to-play and, well, the cute dog. I didn't expect too much out of it, but Aliya's Awakening: Doge 2042 is actually a good game. It's fun to play, it has a good story, an interesting sci-fi/cyberpunk setting, and good voice acting.”
    • “Unique experience and intriguing storyline with interesting characters.”
    • “The story is pretty darn interesting, lots of twists and turns, and there's even more stuff to find in the ARG.”
    • “I had hope that maybe the only thing that wouldn't be AI was the story, but from what I can see here, I think it is also AI.”
    • “Like most AI-generated games, it's a big mix of everything, which ends up being terrible. Aliya's voice is emotionless, the story isn't great, and the art is mixed up with so many different styles; it's just bad on every level.”
    • “The 'story' and 'gameplay' were a bit wonky (that's being optimistic), and well, it shouldn't even be a discussion that the character design is horrible, but that's the norm in AI, right?”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as a slow, chill experience reminiscent of classic point-and-click games, featuring unique mechanics like a zoom and enhance feature. However, some players find the overall execution, including the story and character design, to be lacking. The game's reception remains uncertain due to a lack of user reviews and critic scores.

    • “I liked the zoom and enhance mechanic; wish there was more of it.”
    • “Definitely gives off classic point-and-click vibes, but with some new mechanics I haven't seen before.”
    • “The 'story' and 'gameplay' were a bit wonky (that's being optimistic), and well it shouldn't even be a discussion that the character 'design' is horrible, but that's the norm in AI, right?”
    • “While the game promises immersive storytelling and engaging gameplay, it currently lacks user reviews and critic scores, making it challenging to assess its reception.”
    • “It’s a slow, chill kind of story, not trying to rush or overwhelm you with mechanics.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been criticized as being poorly executed and lacking originality, with users describing it as "AI-generated slop" that fails to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Every element is AI-generated slop, from the music to the visuals to the script.”
    • “The soundtrack feels repetitive and uninspired, lacking any memorable melodies.”
    • “The music doesn't fit the game's atmosphere at all, making it hard to immerse myself in the experience.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are primarily AI-generated, resulting in a mixed quality that some users find lacking. However, the voice acting, particularly that of the dog character, is noted as a redeeming feature that enhances the overall experience.

    • “Every element is AI-generated slop, from the music to the visuals to the script.”
    • “The visuals are AI-generated, which can be hit or miss, but the voice acting (especially the dog) makes up for it.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is polarizing; while some players appreciate the well-crafted and amusing story, others find it lacking, with jokes primarily centered around crypto and blockchain that fail to resonate.

    • “This is well put together with a fun and humorous story that shows what someone can do with little resources.”
    • “Aside from that, the game is cripplingly unfunny, with every 'joke' being about crypto and the blockchain space.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy has been criticized for its intrusive ads, including unskippable promotional content for NFT games and cryptocurrencies, which detracts from the overall experience. Users find the excessive and forced advertising, particularly during initial gameplay, to be frustrating and disruptive.

    • “Some of the references are basically just ads for NFT games or cryptocurrencies.”
    • “The videos and lines of text are not skippable, and they have inserted a fake advertising video that is also not skippable the first time you access the PC in the first room.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game surprisingly emotional, with a blend of cleverness and a detective-like experience that evokes strong feelings. The unexpected depth adds a unique layer to the gameplay, enhancing the overall engagement.

    • “It's weird, smart, and way more emotional than it has any right to be.”
