What just happened?

I'm feeling very confused right now! So i'm kind of new around here, but even i can tell that this was pretty poor. As i said in a comment on the game's summary, i can respect the fact that the developer wanted to maybe try something a bit edgy and different, but there are limits...

I didn't know what the hell was going on... Let's walk out of my house; i appear in the middle of a field. Let's talk to this guy; game over. Let's try and figure out the plot; no chance!

Ovnogesl throws the player onto some kind of island and into the boots of a character suffering from amnesia; that much you can gather. From then on you just start wondering around aimlessly talking to some people that might or might not have been your family, who may or may not be suffering at your expense... Until you get to a point where you are trapped in a dark dungeon and the game seems to be over. From what i understand, the game was intended to depict an idea that was uploaded onto Deviant art (link). This sketch is as confusing and weird as the game itself.

I don't want to be completely negative, there were some interesting ideas. It was very surreal, people turning into butterflies, and you really did get the impression of having amnesia! It just wasn't a game.

Aesthetically, i felt very little effort went into the maps, and the music was a was a bit boring. If i were to talk directly to the developer, i would advise that he spend a bit more time on the project, and he should maybe try to find a bit more structure in the plot, as this was just a mess!

I know these remarks are harsh, but i don't feel too bad as i don't believe the developer really poured that much heart and soul into it... I'm not trying to make enemies so early on in my life on rmn, but i did take the time to download and play the game, and it really did disappoint me!

I don't think it was supposed to be a game, as the genre specifically states "Visual Novel". This doesn't excuse the overall poor quality of the game, though.
Wait... This 'game' has TWO reviews already!? ...Wha- How- Why?? .........Le sigh. Easy makerscore, I guess. xP
Well i decided to do some reviews and decided that it would be better to do ones for games that didn't have any yet! I didn't realise someone else was doing one at the same time ^^
