This has to be the weakest game Kelven ever did.
This game was made for a 10 word contest, in which 10 random words were given, and the game had to tell some story that involves all of them. The words given were: "Revenge", "Book", "Moon", "Jealousy", "Mirror", "Fat", "Prison", "Game", "Forbidden", "Fire". The combination of these words is already a bit weird.
Now in the game you play as Aaron waking up in the middle of nowhere. In his pocket is a book, with only one-page having something written on it. Written on it are the seven deadly sins. After some small exploration, you enter a room with a money river. This whole section represents the sin of greed. Later on you'll meet a beggar saying that money ain't worth nothing and a group of weird men approaches, trying to get your healthy organs as in this world everyone is sick and rots away while living. After some escaping, you enter a hospital, steal an ID card by distracting a doctor by burning trash and leave the hospital. Later on, a group of people steal your arm. Fleeing further, you find a family and their daughter has no eyes. Aaron sacrifices one of his eyes, so she could see the ocean just one more time.
THEN A RANDOM JUMP CUT TO A SCENE BETWEEN AARON AND A WOMAN NAMED MARIA.
After that random cutscene, Aaron is in another world. This world represents anger. A nation at war, enlisting all its citizens. He finds Maria in this world, but she is fleeing, because she is afraid that her master would know about them. After her master finds out, he kills her right in front of Aaron, which angers him. They both have a gun fight, with Aaron winning and he returns to the beginning. However, the room that previously was the greed room, is now yet another room. He meets Maria again, but she is screaming for help. He tries to help her, but it's too late.
Then there is the sudden plot twist. All this is a simulation, meant to resocialize prisoners... But the judge is out for revenge and is torturing the people, by letting them go through hell, while it is all streamed for entertainment. He then alters the program to confront Aaron with his biggest fear... THE WORST FEAR OF ALL.... GETTING FAT!!
Vergil, an AI that is tasked to observe the prisoners is not ok with that and causes an explosion in the prison facility, that frees Aaron, so that he can get his revenge for.... Revenge?
Yeah, the whole game felt like a random combination of scenes, the plot is super weak and the game features so many parts that are super unforgiving, and you will die so many times in your first play trough, not because you're bad, but because the game is throwing so much bullshit at you.
The plot twist was revealed at a point in time, in which I already decided the game is bad, and I just wanted it to be over.
Really can't recommend it. But do not be afraid. Kelven CAN actually make good(ish) games, like Desert Nightmare. This one however is really not worth it.
