  • story
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally perceived as average to weak, with many reviewers noting its convoluted plot, poor pacing, and lackluster voice acting. While some players found enjoyment in its cheesy, 80s sci-fi vibe and appreciated certain unique elements, the overall narrative is often described as uninteresting, filled with plot holes, and overshadowed by frustrating puzzle design. Despite its shortcomings, a few players highlighted moments of cleverness and potential, suggesting that the game could appeal to those looking for a light-hearted experience rather than a deeply engaging story.

    • “The game's storyline is unique and kept me invested in the characters and their journey.”
    • “For the price you usually get crap games, but The Apotheosis Project is a lovingly crafted game, with a unique storyline.”
    • “Great story, good messages and ideas about the alien civilizations, and funny characters; yet the puzzles have usually no clue (lots of trial and errors) and some objects are hidden too well.”
    • “The story is overall pretty weak and nonsensical.”
    • “The plot is full of holes, the main characters are argumentative and generally intolerable.”
    • “The story had potential, but it is developed in a very uninteresting and random way.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that they appear outdated and sometimes hinder gameplay, particularly in puzzle-solving scenarios. While some appreciate the immersive world created by the art style, others criticize the inconsistent quality and blending of 2D and 3D models. Overall, the visuals are seen as a weak point, especially for a game released in 2014, despite being acceptable for a small indie title.

    • “The graphics are nice for a small indie adventure game.”
    • “Graphics – 7/10”
    • “Good graphic.”
    • “The graphics look 10 years older, voice acting is terrible, and gameplay is slow and confusing.”
    • “The story is mediocre, the voice acting is weak, and the graphics are of minimal quality.”
    • “The graphics are a mixture of 2D and 3D models that don't mix well at many points.”
  • humor
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag; while some players found the dialogue and character interactions genuinely funny, others felt that the attempts at cleverness often fell flat, particularly with one character's dull personality overshadowing the humor of another. Despite these inconsistencies, there are moments of comedic animation and dialogue that resonate well, contributing to an overall lighthearted and cozy gaming experience. However, the humor alone may not be enough to keep players engaged, especially when faced with challenging puzzles.

    • “Some humorous dialogue that got a laugh out of me.”
    • “Funny cozy game; if you want an authentic feel on a midnight Saturday, this is the game for you.”
    • “Great story, good messages and ideas about the alien civilizations, and funny characters.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as fitting and relaxing, with some users appreciating its overall quality. However, opinions on the vocal style, which leans towards classical and dramatic opera, are mixed, with some players expressing a lack of fondness for it.

    • “I wasn't too fond of the vocals (classical, opera-style, quite dramatic), though I did like the music.”
    • “As for the intro music... well I guess that's always a personal thing, eh?”
    • “The music was quite fitting.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received a low rating of 6/10, with users noting that it is slow, confusing, and hindered by outdated graphics and poor voice acting. While the theme and atmosphere are appreciated, the overall execution of gameplay is considered significantly lacking.

    • “The game itself is not good either - graphics look 10 years older, voice acting is terrible, and gameplay is slow and confusing.”
    • “I liked the theme and atmosphere but the gameplay was severely lacking.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with users describing it as a "buggy glitchy mess" that is frustrating and in need of significant polish. While some acknowledge its low price, the overall consensus is that the stability issues detract from the experience.

    • “For the price, this could still have passed as 'ok for this price but not great' and maybe squeaked by with a thumbs up only for being cheap; unfortunately, it's also a buggy, glitchy mess.”
    • “Very buggy.”
    • “However, it is buggy and frustrating in places and needs polish.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally recommend the game for farming, but many find the switching back and forth mechanism to be tedious, which can detract from the overall grinding experience.

    • “I find the switching back and forth mechanism to be tedious.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is praised for its minimalistic yet impactful design, creating an engaging thematic experience. However, some players feel that while the atmosphere is strong, it is undermined by lacking gameplay elements.

    • “I liked the theme and atmosphere.”
    • “I liked the theme and atmosphere, but the gameplay was severely lacking.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
