It was less than a dollar so I can't complain that I got what I paid for for chapter one at least. Chapter 1 feels like it was a broken game. The How To menu was kinda broken and there also this fetch quest that initially asks for 4 items but when you ask the npc again, he ony describes 3 to you so I forgot completely about the fourth. Also, some items have descriptions, some items just have names, and some don't have any at all other than an image in your inventory. Chapter 2 starts out with an introduction of a new character that directly says its function to clear up the confusion of the first. This chapter breaks a lot of the fourth wall and I guess that's appealing, but I would much rather they go back and fix what was wrong with the previous chapter rather than make this one about mocking their old mistakes. Chapter 2 wasn't bad. It functions the way a point-and-click should with concistent interface and the right amount of hints. The only reason why I don't recommend this is because chapter 1 was bad. I see other reviews comment on the story, but I say the story is okay. If you don't mind struggling through a bad beginning to get to good part, be my guest.. Strange game. I enjoyed it though. Point and click adventure game with a few annoying little things like not being able to skip dialogue you've heard before and the main characters tiny legs and thigh gap in the artwork and she does do some pretty messed up things to advance the plot but overall I did enjoy it. It is definitely an intriguing story line and I can't wait for the last episode to come out I will be buying it. Overall for this one? 6.5\/10 a not disappointing start with the potential to be a really good overall story.. I've played through chapters 1 and 2 twice each, and grew up playing old Sierra Adventure games. If I could, I'd give this game a rating of "meh." It just doesn't really click. Here are 10 issues I had with it:First, it doesn't really have any kind of tutorial. You're left trying to figure out how to use the interface. Which could use some tweaking. Specifically, the way the inventory works. Getting in and out of the inventory is simple enough, but trying to drag an item out to use in the scene is annoying. Many... many... times I've got the object off the screen, shaking my mouse around, trying to get the inventory to dissappear so I can use the item. The interface was improved slightly for Chapter\/Game 2, but it still left me wanting.Second: When you click to move the character across the screen, all your controlls are locked up. You cannot do *anything* until she stops moving. No changing direction, or bringing up inventory, or even the menu. Not to mention the character is so slow to move about. Some games let you adjust the movement speed, or double-click on an exit to just jump there. Third: The game is incredibly short. There's even an achievement for beating the first chapter under 10 minutes. Fourth: In the second chaper\/game, the devlopers introduced a narator in order to add a bit more color to the game and offer some support to the gamer. Neither really worked out. The narator rarely was funny, nor did he offer any help. Despite claiming I could drop objects on him for hints. Only a few and very specific items could be used in this manner. A poorly implimented feature.Fifht: The developers claim this game contains humor. I didn't see any. Anywhere. Not a single joke.Sixth: Scene exits are not clearly marked. In several scenes I was left randomly clicking about trying to find the exit.Seventh: Character Development. I'm gonna assume this game was made by guys. Especially development of the female characters. It just screamed of guys writing for women who think they know how a woman behaves. For example, her language. I feel like they were trying to make her "edgy" and down-to-earth. And she just comes across as empty.Eight: Voice Acting. Empty. Dead. Phoned in. No emotion.Nineth: Background Story. Where are we? Are we on a planet? A space station? What are we doing there? Where did these aliens come from? You've created this world, but you don't tell us anything about it.Finally: The plot is confusing and difficult to follow. The story jumps, leaving my wondering what I missed. Example, in chapter 2, after launching the table out the window, when you return to the University, you can hear someone screaming in the background and the lead character (I can't even remember her name. Even with 4 play throughs.) commenting on how he must have flown here. WHO? Who flew there? There are other points in the game as well, where you're left wondering what you missed.Overall, I can't really recommend this game. Clunky controls, poor character and background development, and a jumpy storyline. If you pick it up for a buck or two, maybe. Just remember, you'll probably beat the entire thing in an hour.. I NOMINATED THIS GAME FOR:THE \u201cTHE MOST \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665Y PROTAGONIST\u201d AWARDseriously the main character is just horrible and unlikeable i couldnt play 20mins without wanting to shoot herUpdateStill\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665. This has the potential to be a fun game, but one thing makes it horrible: You cannot skip dialogue. So you are forced to sit and listen to the same dialogue over and over. If the developers added a way to skip hearing things you've already heard, this would be much more tolerable. But I can't stand playing it.. This is a classic point & click game with short but interesting story. I'll sum up the game in following points:Pros: Good voice acting Some dialogues were really funny Interesting game setting Game quality overall increases in episode 2 Some interesting puzzlesCons: Some minor bugs (so far in episode 1 I think, but nothing game breaking though) Short game length Game has somewhat unfinished feel as if it was released in a hurry Game renders look a little low resolutionIt feels like the idea for game was really great but technically it wasn't executed that well. This game has 2 episodes. Episode 1 had a slow start, as I didn't exactly knew what exactly was happening around or where exactly I was but as I ended episode 1 and started episode 2, things started to make sense a lot more. And as I already mentioned episode 2 is actually far more interesting than episode 1 with a teaser ending. Now I would be starting the episode 3 to make comparison between these two and third.P.S. I purchased this game on sale, I would suggest others to do the same. Its a good game but with its own downfalls!. As of writing this review, acts 1 and 2 are available.AR-K is a point and click adventure game starring Alicia, a young journalism student living on a space station. She was barred from her dream career as a police officer after being framed for a crime that she barely even understands, and when she finally decides to move on with her life, the past rears its ugly head again. So she's on a mission to figure out what's going on, clear her name and hopefully pass a class taught by a professor who hates her. Just another day in the life of a college student.This is very much a point-and-click in the classic style, with dialogue and inventory puzzles. There's no combat, and your character can't die.I wouldn't call it a comedy game, but there are a lot of jokes here, and thankfully most of them hold up. Not a huge fan of the whole "Alicia hates the ex-girlfriend of a guy she doesn't even like that much with an unholy passion" angle, but otherwise I did find myself smiling a lot throughout. The addition of the fourth-wall-breaking narrator in the second act was a bit jarring at first, but I really enjoyed the interplay between the two as the game continued. Most of the characters are silly archetypes of the various characters you'd expect to see in a college-themed story, but with a bit of a sci-fi twist to them. The game is fully voiced and the voice acting ranges from "fine" to "excellent".I've encountered a few bugs so far, but the developer has been excellent about working to address the problems that I've had so I expect that on that front the game will only improve.. I actually played this for quite some time, even though Steam apparently stopped counting after 0.4 hours. As much as I wanted to like this game and get into the comedy side of it, I just couldn't. I came into the game expecting a point-and-click adventure like my childhood game Grim Fandago, maybe I was aiming too high. I didn't really find much of the witty comments or any of the jokes that funny, I actually only remember giggling once in the game. Obviously this is a personal opinion of the game, some people will like it, some will not. Cannot recommend a game that relies on comedy, but is not funny.
