The Pond: An Unexpected Journey

2018-04-21 23:10

I can see how it only took 3 hours. I get the fact that a walking simulator mixed with a text-based adventure is supposed to be boring, but you could have thrown in at least something more. The only command accepted is step or s, there's no funny easter eggs or any other commands whatsoever. Maybe take a few more hours to add some witty humour or something other than typing the same word 50 times and random narration that has nothing to do with anything. For 3 hours I suppose it's fine, but the player gets no sort of experience out of it.

Interesting concept but boring as hell

People are saying it's boring- maybe a little, but I found it quite fun and amusing.

It was more of a journey than a game, but it didn't make it less enjoyable. I loved the humor and the idea. It was more like a "Stand Up Text Comedy" show. Great job Stanov :)

I would never say I can enjoy a walking simulator or a text based game. But this was actually quite funny :) Maybe because I live in Brno too. Well used 3 hours! Good job :)

Liked the idea and the ending music! Pity there were no imps in the game again :(

One of those games that you keep continue playing and each time you wonder why. Why am I stepping? step. What propels me forward? Step. What did I do with my life? Step. What series of decisions in my life led to the point that I was doing this with my Saturday? Step.

More seriously, it's super funny - the text is hilarious and as long as you approach this game with a sense of humour its good funny XD Welcome to the pond. *kazoo*

Considering its a text-based game, you really managed to get across your personality and humour and I really enjoyed the time it took to play. A slight bit of Repetitive Strain Injury, but I'll be contacting your lawyers about that don't worry... D:

It's not a typical "game" in the sense of replay-ability, however I think for what it is, and for the time frame you did very well! Great job! I enjoyed the experience!

The walking simulator aspect infuriated me, but the narrative calmed me, especially when Morgan Freeman came along to lend you his voice. That was nice of him.
