This is Gamer Guy (In a Suit) from the Echo Army YouTube channel! Today I am bringing you a review of the indie Visual Novel/Choose Your Own Adventure BAD END. BAD END was devloped by Arai Koh Create Office and published by YOX-Project. It was released on Steam on 11/25/2015 (NOTE: This was a review from a game in my own Steam library, it was NOT a key provided by the Developer and/or Publisher) The "Too Long, Didn't Watch" Review: Maybe grab it for $1 as an intro to the Visual Novel style. It works better than you initially realize if you give it a chance. 2/5 Stars The "Meat & Potatoes" Review: OK, so I grabbed this for a buck and figured "Why not?" and let me tell you why you CAN. If you're new to the genre, or are of a younger audience even, this is certainly something to consider if you can grab it for a buck like I did. It is not too text heavy and the story is fairly easy to follow. The graphics are decent, but get repetitive. Same with the audio. Now, for a Visual Novel, you may need to ramp up the audio and video components more simply to avoid as much repetition. For a typical CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) however, there really isn't much need for graphics at all, so long as your story is engaging. I didn't think of this game so much as a CYOA until I explored it further and began branching out to more endings. As the story goes on, there is more choice (thought not a lot, it is a short game). The story itself (Horror) is quite formulaic, but still works out ok. So, in this gamers opinion, you'd need better story and more choices that branch out better. Why not, though? Well, frankly, $2 is just too much. It is only worth picking up at a dollar or less as it is just an average experience at best. None of the aspects of the game are horrible, but none are remarkable or significantly above average either. Just....meh. 2/5 Happy Gaming!!!
