  • The narrative and character designs are engaging, with a unique twist on the Medusa myth.

  • monetization
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of this product is criticized for being a misleading advertisement rather than a legitimate game, taking up valuable space on platforms like Steam without offering any actual content for purchase. Users express frustration over the presence of such advertisements, which detract from genuine developers and provide no real value to gamers. The overall sentiment is that this type of monetization is harmful and deceptive, as it misrepresents itself as a game while failing to deliver any meaningful experience.

    • “It's unclear why this advertisement for a product that will never be made lingers on Steam, but it's not doing anyone any favors... genuine developers who do the right thing have to compete with this pollution to find an audience.”
    • “Usually the purpose of these advertisements is to get you to shell out money to the developer to buy the full product, but the developer hasn't bothered actually making a product you can buy, leaving this as an advertisement for nothing.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is praised for its captivating narrative and strong character dialogue, particularly highlighting Medusa's quest to save a princess, which resonates well with players.

Overall, the story is seen as a significant strength, despite some gameplay frustrations.

    • “Great game, the story is solid so far and the art style is phenomenal, highly recommend this game.”
    • “If existing, it should at least not be 4 entire levels because it's a chunk of time I have to spend doing something not particularly rewarding while still being fed bare morsels of story.”
    • “Again, the art is really nice and I love the concept and character designs, but this game needs more time spent on writing a full narrative first, then pick a couple key fun mechanics to intersperse between larger chunks of said story.”
    • “So far, the plot of the story is that Medusa needs to save the princess from the castle.”
  • gameplay

    • “Very well-done, the art is great, the story is captivating, and the gameplay is nice and simple!”
    • “The mechanics need work: for fighting, the laser randomly doesn't work sometimes, and you have to juke the guards to stop them instead of just destroying them with a hold-down hit like I thought it would do.”
    • “The gameplay is weak, with the first action encounter being obtusely difficult, a fetch quest with quite a bit of backtracking, and a tedious stealth sequence.”
    • “The mechanics need work: for fighting, the laser randomly doesn't work sometimes and you have to juke the guards to stop them instead of just destroying them with a hold-down hit like I thought it would do.”
