The story centers on Kevin's life from 1997 to 2077, conveyed through a unique secret language represented by symbols that players must decipher. While the narrative is intriguing and encourages exploration, technical issues with the map's zoom feature hinder the experience, making it challenging to fully engage with the story's details. Overall, the concept is compelling, but improvements are needed for a smoother storytelling experience.
“After a while, you realize that symbols represent words, and your overall goal is to understand these symbols while following Kevin's story and journey.”
“Kevin (1997-2077) tells the story of Kevin's life from 1997 to 2077.”
“Kevin tells his story using a secret language that he created.”
“All you do is scroll the big map and decipher symbols that tell a story that will be left invisible for too many.”
“Some negatives though, when you find the map of the city, it crash zooms in, and makes it very difficult to research the information within. This doesn't feel intentional, and I hope the developer fixes this issue, as reading these passages is important to discovering the story so we can find the solution to whatever problem you've presented.”
“Kevin tells his story using a secret language that he made.”
