Must be my phone

My game doesnt show faces. The ad shows faces. Am i dumb and the first part just has faceless people. Or is the os on some new type of app store with apps that are broken. Im forced to get this on my computer or watch a streamer play it or something. Or i can play the game and keep being reminded that my phone is very dumb and unsmart or that im just doing something wrong and I need to enable a setting for facephobia or update ios even though i was on the newest one before and am now on 15.4.1, the next being .2 i think, i just want keep the GB because im stingy But if you have the same problem it means im not insane, and you should take your memory back with the delete button The game looks cool though 3/5 bad graphics and the people complaining about tapping the screen are haters, its a visual novel, and besides the point of a game is to interact with it. Its not a movie you actually have to control the game, also after the first cutscene you get a joystick that lets you walk so are people just playing it like a tik tok and uninstalling if theres no big action after 5 minutes. Install touhou thousand night anamnemsis if your attention spans that bad.

This isn’t a game

It’s a poorly written graphic novel that doesn’t even deserve to be called an interactive story. Apple Arcade is like Netflix, everyone gets a shot, for better or worse. Well, they took a shot. This was on the worse end. Besides the flawed first draft feel of the writing, the animation is puzzling in spots. Why does Chay have a black censorship bar over his junk when he’s fully clothed? Is Chay packing so much heat it’s obscene even when he’s got baggy pants on? And why does Ashley have one dog ear tucked into her ball cap when cut from behind, but at every other angle it’s a twin swinging free like the other side of her head? Back to the writing- the main character, the incel you play, has to be the closest to the writers heart, but do you really think people want to “play-“ term very loosely applied- some pathetic creep who literally just sits around and mopes about how sorry for himself he feels in front of strangers in a public coffee house? Everything about Necrobarista is a huge miss. The worst part is, you think it’s a game so you keep tap tap tapping through an era of bad similes and dull dialogue to get to the good part only to discover that this is the ONLY part. I’d feel bad for the writer(s,) but from what I read, they feel bad enough for themselves. Have somebody edit this crap and advertise it for what it is. Some of us edit for low enough rates even the Apple will pay.

Help! It broke! Update: it was anti-climatic, but at least the devs were nice.

Its been amazing so far and I’m on the second to last chapter, and on the scene where she is at what appears to be her farm, the text isn’t showing up! This game is a novel with visual’s (hence the name visual novel) so if there’s no text there’s no game! Its the equivalent to a black screen. I have restarted the novel over and over again, but the text isn’t showing up! Its needs to be fixed! Update: YIKES THAT ENDING WAS ANTI-CLIMATIC,AS MUCK! I respect how they tried to make the ending meaningful, but it felt like a slam in the face by a door, well someone was passive aggressively telling me, ok, you can leave now! I hope the devs learn from this game and all. They seem nice, i was watching a interview on twitch and they answered some of my questions, which is nice. Great game until the end. 6/10, would rate 8 but the ending was a let down.

Not really much of a game. Mostly reading of 2pt text.

So much tapping. So much dialogue. The fun part was searching for things, but that’s about 10% of the time spent in this game. The rest of it is reading a short line of dialogue. Tap. A little more dialogue. Tap. A little more. Tap. Tap. Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap, I stopped reading! I got about 80% through the game I just couldn’t take it anymore. The story was interesting on the surface but it just bogs down in tap tap tapping to read little tiny bits of story at a time. And it’s a LOT of story between actual game play and puzzle solving. Also, speaking of reading, much of the text is PAINFULLY (literally gave me headaches) small on an iPhone XS screen, even though I put on my readers to magnify. The game controls when you could explore are crazy touchy, there is no modulation to them at all. Sorry guys, this looked promising, but it’s pointless in the end. Oh one final and important gripe: It chews through battery as it cooks the processor on my iPhone XS. It was hot to the touch on the back of the phone through a Mous case! I had to play the game while plugged in a lot just to avoid low-battery prompts.

Please keep all in mind and read all the way through

I finished the game and love. The graphics are great, the characters are interesting, and it’s great overall. I do want to say though, this is not what you originally think it’s not exactly a game or a novel! I think it’s a story that people are overthinking! It’s a story to read through, a nice reminder that life isn’t forever so enjoy it, and to stay in the moment of where you are instead of somewhere else. It’s a story that people should go through, not rush, and take time to think over all lessons in the story, it wasn’t meant to be one thing or another it was meant to be as it is. My only request is for more side stories. But I hope this helped and please take time to read this over play the game and enjoy it, good bye and have a nice day.

Not a game and controls are too sensitive

Sun Jul 19 2020 frozen01

It’s basically an animated graphic novel where you have to keep tapping the screen to get the story to advance, which was annoying. Once you finally get to a part where you can do something other than tap the screen over and over, the controls are too sensitive and it becomes frustrating quickly. It might be because I’m playing on a phone and not a tablet, but the smallest movement of my finger would send the camera angle shooting in various directions. I ended up walking sideways down an alley because I couldn’t get the angle back to center. The animation isn’t bad but the faces are flat and that just came across as grotesque to me. I could not get over their faces, they left such an unsettling feeling. The dialogue also seems... off. Like there is something missing, or maybe like a bad translation or something. I don’t know, I can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s not a “you don’t know what they’re talking about because you need to get further into the story” situation, but the conversation just didn’t make sense.

Solid game, but I’m tentative

Lots of complaints say that this isn’t a game, but a graphic novel. This is closer to what mobile games ought to be shooting for, in that it is focused on telling a story. The art is beautifully done, the characters are interesting and the writing is well done. I heard that the ending is super anticlimactic, so I am tentative for that but we’ll have to see. At the very least the start is solid so DEVS: if you want five stars from more people update and change the ending ASAP. But good job with this. I’d like to see more. Side note: performance wise, this makes my iPhone 11 Pro Max very warm and in the parts where I walk around in the cafe, there are severe frame drops. You could do with greater optimization and turning down some of the settings to not be maxing out the phone’s GPU temps.

It Could Be A Great Anime/Visual Novel But...

Fri Jul 17 2020 leahlah0005

From the start, there were zero options to affect the story or move any characters and it’s impossible to even interact with your surroundings. Ten minutes later you’re thrown janky controls of an unknown character, there are hints about who you may be but it can be confusing. All you do is move to the cafe and move around a bit before the story plays like an anime. When I walked away from the game the only thing that stuck with me was the story and a few lines of humorous dialogue, none of the “gameplay” ever made an impression because there wasn’t much of it. I think this could be a really unique visual novel or one could cut out the middle man entirely and craft it into a decent anime. All I know is it’s not a game at all since there weren’t many options to do anything much less affect the story in any way. Disappointing, but I’ll give 2 stars for the few lines of dialogue that gave me a chuckle + the little girl is also pretty funny.

Wonderful experience.

It’s sad that people give this 1 star and such because they don’t understand what kind of game it is. You wouldn’t play a puzzle game and be upset there isn’t enough first person shooting in it, right? This is a visual novel, meaning gameplay elements will be light, and most the focus will be story. The art, emotion, atmosphere are truly special and help to help wrap you in on an engrossing story. Basically if you like visual novels or really just a good story, then you should try this one. I actually already have this on PC but this is a great way to play it instead. Honestly I wish there were more visual novels on iOS like there is in Japan, it’s really the perfect type of game for a cell phone.

Y’ALL...keep in mind that this is a VISUAL NOVEL

I guarantee that you’ll get really into the game!! You just have to get used to going with the flow of the story. The games beautiful colors and design drew me in .. but I stayed for the interesting and complex character storylines! Don’t be like me and rush through the explore bits !!!! The little stories you discover really flesh out the characters. I’ve never laughed and been more entertained with a story than this one. The format of the game worked perfectly in its own context. Having to choose from multiple options / endings probably would’ve lessened the storyline / characters impact on its audience. I really liked how the writers brought the theme of the game full circle. I wouldn’t mind playing this as a series 🙂
