Uncoven ā my final opinion
What can I say about this game? Did my opinion change after playing it through to the end?
The short answer is: No, it didnāt.
Uncoven feels like wasted potential ā it had interesting concept, but failed miserably in the making.
For instance, the choices for the path of power were about Nyx prefering to do things alone, oftentimes insulting and belitting their friends, but in the final chapter, it turns out ā we care about their wellbeing and donāt want them to get hurt or die.. like, Iām sorry, but what? How can such character even bother to care about them? (since itās not like theyāre tsundere to hide their true felling or anything like that) But what was I thinking and getting my hopes up for, when all the choices we make matter only for the illustrations part and for the ending chapter, not through the whole gameā¦
Like really, there are no differences in what Nyx says or thinks, out of the like 1 or 2 lines of dialogue after a choice and all the other (be it their thoughts or spoken out words) are the exact same. Such a shame, really.
As I said it in the other post, the only good thing I find in this game is the backgrounds and the music. The backgrounds are very detaled and there are some details that change in them, little by little, throughout the game. THAT was a rather nice touch and I didnāt even notice it at first ā it was only thanks to my friends from our discord server, who pointed it out and we started comparing them to catch all of the differences.
(after time, some of the paintings are crooked and the flowers in the vase wilt more and more)
I guess the light on the sprites makes sense now, after the ābig revealā? It still looks dumb, but anyway.
And about the revealā¦ Iām just, I donāt know, I thought that maye the authors wonāt make the only white man be the big villain, but guess I was wrong, since we knew from the start how they perceive them (well, at least itās how they show them to be in the game). How dumb of me, really, to have some expectations.
For the last part, what about the story itself, what can I say? As mentioned before, I feel itās a wasted potential. There was room to make the story interesting, to not waste our time on unimportant conversations with others ā like please, even if it was something of little importance, make it to be something that comes up later to idk, make a character development or something. Donāt dump us with info that will have no impact on the story whatsoeverā¦ I donāt even wanna mention some of which just felt like it was added only for the factor that it will make the game more āmatureā. To me it just felt so out of blue, I couldnāt care less. And to note that there were so many instances where we got to say or hear others say about one particular thing in each chapter, so fricking many timesā¦ Like I get it, I understand from the first time, donāt repeat the same info to me three or more times, itās tiring.
And as a side note Iāll only add that Iām dissapointed that even in the ending of patch of power, my Nyx didnāt get to (and whatās worse: didnāt even want to) kill off people T-T Almost all of them were so irritating to me, Iām sorry xD
Last thing, I wanted to thank everyone who kept me company through it, without you guys I believe, I wouldnāt be able to endure it for so long <3 At least itās over now, Iām free!
