    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their unique and vibrant art style, described as a blend of psychedelic and maximalist aesthetics that create a surreal and engaging visual experience. Reviewers highlight the exceptional user interface and the game's ability to evoke a nostalgic yet innovative feel reminiscent of early 3D games. The visuals, combined with a captivating soundtrack, are considered a major draw, making the game a must-try for fans of distinctive and creative design.

    • “Fun metroidvania adventure platformer which also happens to have incredible kinetic and maximalist visuals, a cool experimental electronic soundtrack, and a unique UI which completes the futuristic maximalist style aesthetic perfectly.”
    • “The visuals are a joy to the eyes and along with the music it keeps a surreal vibe throughout the game.”
    • “The visuals and user interfaces in this feel truly one of a kind, and I was a huge fan of the soundtrack as well.”
    • “I wasn't sure if I would like the aesthetic/level design looking at the trailer; it kind of gives off those 'graphics gone wrong' vibes from the early 3D games. I think there is a word for that art style, but I can't think of it.”
    • “This is only a problem due to the lack of graphics settings in the game, and I worry for lots of other systems if my own runs this way.”
    • “The aesthetic has clearly been carved with care, and I found myself excited every time a new UI element was introduced.”
  • music
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received widespread acclaim for its experimental electronic soundtrack, which complements the vibrant visuals and enhances the overall atmosphere. Many players appreciate the adaptive nature of the music, which evolves with gameplay, creating an immersive experience. However, some have noted that certain tracks can become repetitive during extended play, potentially detracting from the enjoyment. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's unique charm.

    • “Fun metroidvania adventure platformer which also happens to have incredible kinetic and maximalist visuals, a cool experimental electronic soundtrack, and a unique UI which completes the futuristic maximalist style aesthetic perfectly.”
    • “I also loved how the music would transform in lots of tiny increments across progress in a level, not just using location but also when you figure something out - when I spent 5 minutes doing an early game puzzle, bumping into the right thing would suddenly change the chord progression or the melody and it told me I was doing something right without any UI or text, it felt so much cooler and more immersive.”
    • “The whole world beats at the rhythm of the (clearly alien) music, flowing through every surface and being.”
    • “Some soundtracks are so bass-heavy that they made me nauseous after a long time!”
    • “The soundtrack was promising, but unfortunately all of the tracks loop far too quickly, which can become incredibly annoying while you're exploring.”
    • “Feels like playing through a Windows music visualizer from 20 years ago.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a chill, exploratory experience set in a unique psychedelic alien environment, with simple mechanics that prioritize roaming and interaction over intense action. While some players find the lack of complexity and shorter playtime off-putting, others appreciate the originality and entertaining nature of exploring the game world and engaging with its quirky characters. Suggestions for improvement include adding more interactive tasks and mechanics to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “It's wrapped in a psychedelic, organic alien aesthetic and a fun blend of mechanics that makes it very fun to just roam around.”
    • “It's not mechanically intense so far, it's a very chill experience.”
    • “For a game that is described as having roughly 5 to 6 hours of gameplay, that is... off-putting.”
    • “Maybe the first more obvious task could have involved talking to the other characters to find out how to enter the train, involving more concepts and mechanics along the way.”
    • “Not terribly complex gameplay-wise, but running around exploring the ship and talking to all the characters is entertaining enough on its own.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is praised for its phenomenal art style and soundtrack, featuring cool storylines and alternate endings that engage players emotionally. However, some reviewers noted that the storytelling could be better communicated, and while the main narrative is simple and unobtrusive, those seeking a deep story experience may find it lacking, as the game emphasizes side quests and exploration over narrative depth.

    • “Art style, story, and soundtrack are phenomenal.”
    • “Cool storylines and alternate endings, and you will definitely fall in love with a creature.”
    • “Story: nice and simple, doesn't get in the way.”
    • “Some little things could be done in regards to communicating the story to the player.”
    • “However, if you're looking for a story-based game, this isn't it.”
    • “The game is roughly 3.5 to 4.5 hours for the bad ending, and I got zero achievements beating it, so the actual collectathon content is a lot higher; there are all kinds of side quests and hidden secrets around the game.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is consistently praised, with players enjoying the quirky character customization, amusing dialogue, and entertaining contraptions. The puzzles cleverly subvert typical gaming expectations, often leading to unexpected and humorous solutions that keep players engaged and entertained throughout.

    • “The junk launcher and character customization UI had me laughing a ton.”
    • “The character dialogue and events in the game are also funny; I don't think there was a moment when I wasn't entertained.”
    • “The puzzle solutions often made me laugh. The game kind of pokes at your perception of what a video game can be, making you do things you would never do in a video game using logic, while also surpassing those expectations in a fun way.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features notable stability issues, including glitches and control problems, which can hinder progress. However, many players find that these imperfections do not detract significantly from the overall enjoyment, suggesting that those willing to overlook these flaws may still have a rewarding experience.

    • “There is a lot of jank and glitches in the game, but honestly it was still fun and weird.”
    • “If you can forgive some of the issues with controls and glitches, and push through the early game, I think you might just walk away with one of the strangest games you've ever played.”
    • “Really breathtaking explorative platformer; it has a few glitches, and sometimes I struggled with figuring out exactly how to progress.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The character development in the game is highlighted by its unique and visually striking designs, appealing particularly to fans of unconventional aesthetics and sci-fi themes. While the genre may not resonate with everyone, the standout character visuals are a strong point that enhances the overall experience.

    • “Some of the coolest character designs you will ever see.”
    • “I still recommend giving this game a try, especially if you love out-of-the-ordinary character designs and over-the-top visuals.”
    • “Sci-fi is not my favorite genre, but I thought the sets and the character designs were great.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere in the game is characterized by a quirky and immersive environment, enhanced by an adaptive soundtrack that complements the experience. Players are encouraged to explore and appreciate the unique, often bizarre settings while solving puzzles and embracing the journey of discovery.

    • “Last but not least, the adaptive soundtrack adds a lot to the atmosphere.”
    • “Fragrance Point is a game where you need to find the beauty in being lost, taking in the atmosphere, and making progress bit by bit.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally stable, with users reporting smooth performance on low-end PCs running Linux through Proton, achieving 70-120 FPS. However, while performance is acceptable, it does not stand out as particularly impressive.

    • “No issues with performance on Linux through Proton on a low-end PC (70-120 FPS).”
    • “The performance of this game is by no means bad, but it's not good either.”
    • “No issues with performance on Linux through Proton on a low-end PC (70-120fps).”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by a cozy and heartwarming atmosphere, where players experience a mix of fun and guilt from interacting with physical objects, reminiscent of a sparkly roomba. The tactile nature of the gameplay adds to the overall chill and thought-provoking experience.
