Human Sacrifice

My playtime: the longest save in my game is 00:06:46 (based on in game clock), but it might take around 10 minutes to check all the story branches.

Intro
Human Sacrifice is a game about a man who is out for grocery shopping and encounter strange things in his life. The game offers a lot of choices with different story branching which will tend to lead to the same ending, although there are some different ending that you can get (including game overs when you make the wrong choice).

Music
I don't think there's any music except the voice overs on some of the dialogues. I don't really like the voice overs though. They sound like gibberish especially when you're reading too fast.

Graphics
To be honest, i don't really hate default RTP assets. In fact, i think that there are some games that are better with RTP instead of custom assets. This game is one of them. I don't know if the devs do it on purpose to make the assets look bad, but the graphics are just bad. It looks even worse when there are some RTP asset included in the game that makes the sprite looks out of place. However, i have to admit that the outside areas are quite decent. The car wheel on the car scene also looks very weird because they look out of sync.



Story
The game's story is just decent. Although there are a lot of branching in the story, the story mostly have the same main points and almost have the same endings. The story theme might be weird and twisted, but that's it. I don't really find the story to be captivating or anything.

Lastly, there are some typos and some texts that are out of the box in the game.

The game
As i said before, the game will mostly offers you with a lot of choices that might lead you to a different areas (that'll mostly reach the same ending in the end). I think there are 2 notable endings in this game, with some additional endings where you have game overs. There are also some occasion where the choice doesn't matter though.



There are also some battles in the game. You'll get around 1-3 battles before you reach the "ending". There are some easy battles and some hard battles that need some thinking (and/or luck) to beat. The battle is turn based ATB and you usually won't have any skills at your disposal (unless you did or reached certain point in the game) so you can just spam your normal attack to finish them.

Lastly, the game has a bug where i can't proceed in one story branch (where you go right and kill the dogs instead going to the house) and the game crashes a lot after i restarted the game with F12 several times to check all of the branches. For such a short game, i think i got 5+ crashes during that time. Here's the error:

Script 'Death Animation' line 195: SystemStackError occurred.
stack level too deep

Pros:
- Branching story
- Multiple endings

Cons:
- You can't finish one of the branches
- Crashes when you restart the game

Conclusion
The game crashes a lot for such a short game when you try to check all the branches, which is the game's main selling point, so i don't really recommend it.
