    The story of "Welcome to Moreytown" is a brief yet intriguing narrative centered around a city of anthropomorphic animals grappling with themes of discrimination and societal issues, reminiscent of a darker, grittier version of "Zootopia." While the premise holds potential, many reviewers noted that the execution feels rushed, with a linear plot and simplistic character development that detracts from the overall experience. Despite its shortcomings, the game offers engaging moments and replay value through multiple endings, though players may find the lack of depth and detail in the lore disappointing.

    • “The story starts with your character discovering that their apartment's on fire; upon escaping, you discover your apartment fire could be leading to a much bigger threat that could shake Moreytown to its core.”
    • “I found the writing to be very engaging and the plot very interesting.”
    • “This one in particular had a nice concept and a fairly well-presented story.”
    • “It has the potential to be so much more, yet it was a brief story that one can fly through quickly.”
    • “The characters' personalities and motivations were very simple or nonexistent, which matches the plot which is also short and cliché.”
    • “The plot is very linear even for a choice-based game, and it seems much more like your decisions in the last 2 minutes (literally) are all that really do anything.”
  • replayability7 mentions

    The game offers some replayability through interesting story paths and multiple endings, but players note that the short length of the story can make repeated playthroughs feel tedious. While it has decent replay value, particularly for completionists, many feel that a longer narrative would enhance the overall experience. Overall, it is enjoyable enough to warrant several playthroughs, despite its brevity.

    • “But it has replayability that will bring me back to it several times.”
    • “It's very short, but the replay value makes it worth it.”
    • “Good game, pretty fun; there are lots of choices. It is a little short though, like 2 hours to get through your first playthrough, but there is a lot of replay value, especially if you are a completionist and will try to unlock all the achievements.”
    • “Though the game has some decent replay value, I do think the story could have been a bit longer.”
    • “This is a picky comment, but it would've helped this game a lot and added some replay value if it had a little more meat to it, making this into a longer story.”
    • “Good game, pretty fun; there are lots of choices. It is a little short though, like 2 hours to get through your first playthrough. There is a lot of replay value, especially if you are a completionist and will try to unlock all the achievements.”
  • graphics3 mentions

    The game features minimal graphics, focusing instead on text-based mechanics and multiple-choice prompts, which enhances the imaginative experience. The lack of visual elements allows for a deeper engagement with the narrative and character customization, making it accessible for players without high-end graphics capabilities. Overall, the graphics are intentionally sparse, serving the game's storytelling rather than detracting from it.

    • “The graphics are stunning, with beautifully detailed environments that truly immerse you in the game world.”
    • “The art style is unique and captivating, making every scene a visual delight.”
    • “The character designs are incredibly well-crafted, showcasing a diverse range of appearances and styles.”
    • “No graphics, no flashiness, just reading, multiple choice prompts, and some background stats that affect your chance of success when overpowering, sneaking around, persuading, etc. They also tend to be very open regarding your character's gender, gender identity, sexual orientation (including everything from 'anything that moves' to 'let's just keep things platonic, thanks') and more, which is nice.”
    • “From what I think, the setting is perfect for this text-only mechanics because anything graphical would've destroyed the imagination that you have in your head.”
    • “Regardless of my personal preferences, if you're looking for a game that doesn't require a high-end graphics card and has a story that's particularly engaging, I'd say this would be worth your time.”
  • atmosphere3 mentions
