story9 positive mentions
grinding3 negative mentions
  • The game features a unique and creative death game mechanic where each character is tied to specific rules, leading to dynamic and strategic interactions.
  • Characters are well-written, compelling, and evoke emotional investment, with the protagonist's internal conflicts and development being a highlight.
  • The jazzy soundtrack and polished art style, including expressive sprites and themed UI, contribute significantly to an immersive atmosphere.
  • The narrative leaves many core mysteries and questions unanswered, as it is the first part of a planned trilogy, which may disappoint players seeking closure.
  • Technical issues such as bugs, visual glitches, save problems, and a somewhat clunky engine impact gameplay fluidity, though continual developer improvements have addressed many.
  • The council system and gameplay design can be frustrating due to limited saving/loading options, punishing trial-and-error, and a steep difficulty in navigating multiple endings or key choices.

  • story

    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    26% positive mentions, 65% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The story is praised for its well-developed protagonist, engaging character contrasts, and intriguing twists, making it a compelling character study rather than a traditional mystery. However, many note it feels incomplete, as it is the first part of a multi-game narrative, with some plot mysteries left unresolved. While the journey and character depth keep players invested, certain gameplay and structure issues occasionally detract from fully enjoying the story.

    • “We were there for the story, we were invested in the characters, what their rules could be, how was this going to end?”
    • “He's not your typical hero protagonist, and his psychology and backstory are explored very well in the course of the entire game.”
    • “Overall I really enjoyed my experience, and would recommend it to anyone who appreciates a good story about well written characters being thrown into rough situations.”
    • “It is a tad unfortunate that it isn't really a 'finished' story given that there are two planned sequels, but also, oh hey, two more games following a similar premise/structure?”
    • “I said that not everyone might like the story because it doesn't answer all the mysteries... almost none of the big ones, in fact.”
    • “This is only one third of a story, and presumably the other two games in this series will have actual story reveals in them at some point, but all this game has is a character who's supposed to be dead show up alive.”

  • music

    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    59% positive mentions, 41% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its jazzy, fitting soundtrack that enhances the bar setting and overall atmosphere. Users highlight its variety, from tense to relaxing tracks, and appreciate the option to toggle between songs. The soundtrack is considered a standout feature, significantly contributing to the game's immersive and memorable experience.

    • “Incredible soundtrack, complete with a toggle to switch between different songs.”
    • “From tense tracks to relaxing ones, character themes, council themes... truly fantastic music.”
    • “The OST is jazzy, fitting the bar the game is set in, and it's great.”

  • gameplay

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    21% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The gameplay is primarily dialogue-driven with a unique focus on rule-based mechanics that influence player advantages and narrative branching. While the investigation and argument elements offer intriguing twists, some players find the trial-and-error approach tedious and feel the gameplay can be rudimentary and occasionally buggy. Overall, the gameplay integrates well with the story's themes but remains limited in active engagement beyond reading and decision-making.

    • “Brrr emphasizes this aspect of the game with its focus on "rules" as the driving mechanic. Each player is provided a list of rules but also is given exemption from one of those rules, giving them an edge over the other contestants.”
    • “The interactions between rules and evolving gameplay as certain rules are removed from the game is really intriguing. It's easy to imagine different ways the game could have gone were certain rules removed in different orders, or if characters were assigned different rules.”
    • “Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the presentation of the game (even if the art style is pretty barebones), with some clever integration of the game's theming with the core gameplay mechanics and quality of life features.”
    • “But still encountered a noticeable amount of bugs in the game, mostly visual, but some gameplay related.”
    • “The game has little gameplay, mainly dialogue options.”
    • “I felt like the trial and error style gameplay didn't really fit the story. Keeping track of what you've seen can become tedious, and even though there is a mechanic to alleviate this, I still didn't see the purpose of collecting 4 out of 5 tidbits, when you only need 2 to progress several hours later.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in this game is often seen as tedious and disrupts the narrative flow, with players finding trial-and-error mechanics and tracking collectibles cumbersome. Despite some features intended to ease progression, many resort to guides to avoid repetitive and frustrating gameplay segments.

    • “Still found it a little tedious to have to do it to continue the story though.”
    • “I felt like the trial and error style gameplay didn't really fit the story. Keeping track of what you've seen can become tedious, and even though there does exist a mechanic to alleviate this, I still didn't see the purpose of collecting 4 out of 5 tidbits when you need only 2 to progress, five hours later down the line.”
    • “This makes the council really tedious and halfway through I gave up on trying to play the game without knowing anything, and just used the guide for the true end instead.”

  • emotional

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The emotional aspect is highlighted by an intriguing and worthwhile protagonist's journey, though some users feel the balance between detailed expression and overly vague, sweeping phrases could be improved for a stronger emotional impact.

    • “The protagonist's emotional journey is absolutely worthwhile and intriguing.”
    • “If there was a good balance between the concrete and detailed or vibrant and the pages of sweeping empty phrases attempting to set the emotional valence, I would like this much better.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game currently suffers from bugs and visual glitches, impacting stability, but the developer is actively and passionately working on fixes, promising improvements in upcoming updates. Players seeking a smoother experience may want to wait a bit after release.

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The graphics show a clear effort in design and thematic integration but suffer from noticeable hiccups and a somewhat barebones art style that can appear unpolished and occasionally disrupt gameplay.

    • “Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the presentation of the game (even if the artstyle is pretty barebones), with some clever integration of the game's theming with the core gameplay mechanics and quality-of-life features.”
    • “There are many graphic hiccups that, while they don't interfere with the ability to play and finish the game, make the game look unpolished and reveal behind-the-scene elements like how sprites are separated into parts or how the council scene shows characters with a table sprite on top. Additionally, some issues can stop you from proceeding in the game.”

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere of Beyond r is highly praised for its immersive qualities, complemented by a strong cast and distinctive musical elements that enhance the unique gameplay experience.
