Pendula Swing Episode 1 - Tired and Retired reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
Someone finally realized my Dream and mixed Point & Click with a bit of RPG. The Setting is also some GANZ NEW and has the "golden 20s" with fantasy breeds (Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins ...) Equipped! Very cool! Although I otherwise avoid "episode games" like the Plague (at least if they're not finished yet, I HASSE it when I hang in the middle of a Story and it doesn't go any further), I was SO curious that I played the first Episode ... And I'm playing ERNSTHAFT with the Idea of buying the "All Seasons Pass" although the Game is probably far from Complete (at the Moment it goes until Episode 3, 7 are announced!). But I really like a lot of the Thoughts behind the Game. What I didn't like personally or what I would like to see differently (if I could) ... 1. The Ability to create your own Storage Levels!!! Since the Course of History seems to be influenced by different hand B/conversation options, I would like the Opportunity to return to previous Storage Stalls to try out. I don't Feel like starting the whole Game all over again every Time to give a different Answer!!! 2.I sometimes claim that I am quite powerful in the English Language, but Nevertheless I found the Dialogues sometimes quite "dry" and somehow "strange." Since the Problem is also addressed in several English Reviews and the Developers come from Sweden, I assume that it is not (at least not ONLY) that it is up to me, but because of a true really optimal Translation. I think that's a shame because the Game doesn't have a proper Voiceover, the "Reading" (especially the important Backgrounds) should have more Pepper. 3.Missing Voice output ... Sure, at indie games, budget limits are In the Budget ... But I would have just enjoyed IT with a complete beautiful Voiceover and maybe some "read-fine" Players would make the Game more accessible ... 4.Technically, not everything is perfect either. What struck me particularly ... Sometimes the Dialogue is gone before it is displayed correctly. And in the Diary that is supposed to display the Dialogues (theoretically!!), large Sentence Parts are often missing when "Flipping Over," if you look at objects again or repeat Dialogues, it is recorded again and you can't change the Order either ... For example, if you want to look at the last Dialogue, you have to scroll through EVERYTHING from The Beginning of the Game ... That degenerates after just a few Minutes. That should be fixed DRINGEN otherwise you have to scroll EVERY MAL FOR hours ... NO GO!!!!! But so far, I've noticed the Game very pleasantly so far. The Fear I have in terms of data technology is that it becomes political that one gets too much instilled the Opinion that one has to have on certain issues that you have to have on certain Issues that have been taken up. Just as it is so far in the first Episode that you just get stuff "portrayed" (the Leading Lady is obviously lesbian, Races like Goblins are disadvantaged by Politics), I find KLASSE ... According to the Motto "These are the Facts, imagine Your own Opinion on them"! I just hope that comes no later the Raised Index finger and someone wants to trick me into "a correct Attitude ..." That would pretty much hurt me the Game ...
