Quick Look: Solo: The Novelist

If this runs on my laptop, then it seems perfect for wasting time on a flight. Engaging enough to be entertaining but not active enough to be draining.

Thanks for the QL, Patrick.

this should be right up my alley, but for some reason.. there is no appeal at all.

Thanks for taking a look at this, Patrick. I was really on the fence about this one, but now I'm gonna give it a shot.

You couldn't play this game in VR if you have agoraphobia.. cuz that house be huuuge!

But it's entirely correct.

@baka_shinji17: I see what you did there.

@patrickklepek: Still fighting against the inevitable renaming of these to Trick Looks I see.

Great Quick Look Patrick, this is seems like a nice game to tug at the heart strings. The opportunity for choice on how the family develops makes it very appealing.

Alan wake, is that you?

This was one of the very few QLs I just...havent been able to get through. Maybe it is just the portion Patrick slowed, but this just seemed so....boring.

It's a ghooooooost! making life decisions for me!

So are you.

Thank you very much for this quick look. I am adoring the trending of "empathy games" as you call them.

I don't know. I liked Gone Home a lot but this seems unnaturally slow burning. The emptiness of the house lets it down.

This looks promising, I don't get why they even try to do stealth mechanics in the game when it's really about story and how it unfolds. I really like when videogames take characters and setting seriously and make them believeable. It's like not every videogame must be action film, full of cheesy oneliners and wonky characters which indeed are memorable, but not really from this world.

Thanks for the QL. I was thinking about it but I've decided to skip this.

BTW your voice sounds great. Sorry about the cold but the tone suits you.

This looks like an "empathy game" I could play and enjoy. Papers, Please and Cart Life are way too grim for me to keep me playing.
