Juego point and click donde tendremos que resolver unos acertijos que se nos presentan en un bucle de solo 15 minutos.

La idea es buena, pero simplemente el tipo de puzzles no son para mi. En general es para mi demasiado obtuso y si haces cosas como hacerme usar hexadecimal a mi me pierdes. Para la persona adecuada puede estar muy bien.

Neat timeloop puzzle, visuals are nice. Movement around the map is a little clunky.

even for a free game this is fairly bad. tedious, obtuse, ugly, boring, and uninspired. it's like an hour long and i just stopped playing 43 mins in because i couldn't be bothered with having to do one of its puzzles a second time.

Test Test Test é o tipo de jogo que me deixa triste. Não por ser mau, mas porque consigo ver de modo tão claro o quão excelente poderia ser.

Começando pelas positivas, o conceito inteiro à volta deste jogo de um mega quebra-cabeças num time loop de 15 minutos é fascinante e perfeitamente vendido pelos visuais com pixel art impecável e um ótimo sound design que eleva a tensão e desconforto de um ambiente que à primeira vista não o pareceria ser. E as próprias ideias por trás dos puzzles e das suas soluções são muito criativas e, em teoria, satisfatórias para o jogador resolver.

Então qual é o maior problema de Test Test Test? Ironicamente, a falta de testagem. Tenho a certeza que não é mesmo o caso, mas quando o jogo, não consigo deixar de sentir que o jogo foi playtested por 1 única pessoa na filosofia de “se para esta pessoa faz sentido então faz sentido para toda a gente” e nenhuma decisão foi tomada para tentar assegurar o puzzle design ser claro ou intuitivo. Existem uns quantos casos de puzzles que têm pormenores mal pensados e que contradizem diretamente certos ethos de design ensinados por puzzles passados, abrindo portas para muitos mal entendidos. Além disso, o jogo decide optar por ter muitas “dificuldades” que apenas consistem em inconveniências sem grande valor. Muitos dos puzzles, por exemplo: fazer uma longa sequência de um código, perante qualquer erro bloqueiam completamente o sucesso desse time loop, forçando o jogador a recomeçá-lo. Mas o jogo não dá uma maneira rápida de recomeçar logo um loop, as únicas opções são esperar pelo final do tempo ou caminhar até à sala final do jogo, que rapidamente se torna repetitivo.

Estes fatores culminam numa experiência que tem todas as suas fortes qualidades ofuscadas por confusões e frustrações. Pequenos ajustes com base em muito playtesting poderiam levar à nota desta review genuinamente duplicar. Mas hey, pelo menos é grátis.

A short puzzle game. But the concept of the puzzles is really unique. A bit hard for casual gamer but im just gonna say it is worth your time and energy. Somehow it remind me to Stanley Parable vibe, DDLC gameplay, and Papers Please artstyle. Which i love em all

DON'T LOOK ANYTHING UP BEFOREHAND
just play it. its free on steam and its short. i loved it

gostei de como o jogo sai do jogo. é uma dinâmica divertida
os "puzzles" são relativamente simples mas ainda fazem pensar um pouco. a história em si n é nada demais e a musiquinha fica chatinha depois de um tempo mas sei lá, para um jogo grátis de no máximo 1h de gameplay deu o entretenimento que tinha que dar

It can be a little glitchy and stubborn with its movement, but aside from that, it's a very enjoyable timeloop game, requiring you to be manage your day well as you'll miss key events even if you're a minute late.
Plus it's free!

I'm still confused but I love the game and the fact that it's free

Cool concept, lacking execution.

am not happy with it... 😑 having to use another website was kinda annoying but like ok sure i can pardon it cuz it was used enough times cleverly (this is just a minor nitpick). but god the server room puzzle was irritating, why did the code start with terminal C but expected you to Not start with C but A instead... and not just that but it expects you to be ok with redoing that slough of a puzzle multiple times like are you for real. i would be fine if it was just a quick code i could memorize and input, or just tap the terminals or smth easy like that, but clicking each individual one and typing a letter 8 times multiple times if i fail the cycle sucked.

also like the final cypher.. that sucked. giving me time limits but also expecting me to sit down and look at a clock and understand its in base60 like thats something that most people know 😭 extremely irritating which is a shame cuz otherwise i loved the visual design and music and cleverness of the game, like hiding secrets that can only be seen by adjusting game brightness was so clever. but ultimately the last few puzzles were too annoying for me to like this game

also how does deciphering codes lend itself to the themes of a horrifically laborious life?? im not happy w this game at all, but at least it was free

Fun for a while, but having to mess with a bunch of keys to decipher the puzzles got old. I enjoyed figuring stuff out, but maybe remove the long tediousness in-between figuring stuff out.

Really enjoyed this short title from Toge Productions.

Puzzles felt tough but fair throughout and the way they're presented was enjoyable for me. Clicking to move was a bit clunky and I got pretty blocked

While nothing was super stand out or groundbreaking, the execution of all the pieces led to a worthy experience for anyone looking for a shorter puzzle game. Thank you.

Interesting little puzzle game. Don't want to say to much in risk of spoiling but it's worth your time to play it.

I've been immersed the past two hours having fun decyphering the puzles, solving the mystery around the office and enjoying the atmosphere they’ve created with it’s visuals and sounds. It's amazing that this game is free!

I’ve loved it!
