14 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay creatively embodies psychoanalytical concepts and offers a unique, interpretive experience that encourages player reflection. However, it suffers from a lack of clarity and guidance in mechanics and objectives, leading to confusion and some seemingly unnecessary or underdeveloped elements. Despite this, the varied play styles keep engagement, supporting the game's core theme of exploring human nature.
“This is an amazing representation of the psychoanalytical method that sums up hundreds of pages and classes on the topic in a fun, artistic way, especially the whole therapy mechanic and the role of the ego, superego, and id operating against the therapeutic comments.”
“I like this game very much for its unusual subject, some interesting and innovative gameplay, the way it presents the player with lore, information, and facts, and leaves them to interpret and work things out.”
“Additionally, the combination of play styles across the different sections of gameplay helps to keep things engaging.”
“The game never states where or when you should go and buy stuff or publish the books, which also don't impact gameplay at all.”
“The game creates a fake feeling of longer playtime, but in the end it is very short, making many mechanics like books, cigars, your daughter, Salomé, and patrons useless.”
“There is very little clarity concerning important elements of the interface and gameplay - for example, why can I only leave the room to buy cigars maybe once in the entire game, if smoking cigars is crucial to managing Freud's mood?”
