Unrest reviews

First of all, Unrest is an interactive Short Story rather than a full-fledged Role-playing game. If you are looking for a complex Combat System or Depth of Skills, you are at Unrest's wrong Address. What the Game offers is an interesting Story around the Indian City of Bhimra, whose Leadership always changes. A City doomed and visibly shaped by Wars and corruption. A big Problem is the Slums, which are located close to the noble Urban Areas. Unrest tells a Chapter from a particularly troubled Time in Bhimra, creating an interesting Story that tells from the Point of view of several Characters and Through unclated Dialogues that are at the Heart of the Game and the Player repeatedly choosing from several Answers are left over, pushed forward. Social criticism is sometimes practiced, And Unrest often tackles recomfortable Topics that are Still up-to-date today. And that makes the Game special, even if the Story ends far too quickly (after about three to four Hours you're likely to be through) and there's hardly any Substance playfully. But If you are looking for a Story-intensive Game in an exotic setting, you will find it here.

Apart from the fact that the Game starts without Instructions, it is quite a lot of Text to read. After an ice-leading Text, you start with a small Card on which to move and appeal to other People. These Conversations determine how friendly, polite and anxious this Person is, but also all the other People in the Game are to the Player. Once you have completed a Task, the Card changes and also the Person you control. However, one stays in the same City and controls the Fate of the City from different Perspectives. As far as the Map is concerned, this is absolute Scrap. The Area in which you move is always in the "Shadow of War" and is never revealed, so you move in the dark all The time. On this Map, the responsive people are drawn as soon as they have been hit. However, this only happens sporadically and many People do not find an Advertisement on the Map. These, which appear are then also in the wrong Place and most disappear as soon as you visit other Card parts and do not reappear when you return to the Card part. As far as the Texts are concerned, they are only available in English; They are complicated and, in Some cases, even simply false. In some Places, they make no Sense at all. The Answer Possibilities do not always seem to trigger the same, so that good Answers can suddenly have negative Effects during Attempts again beforehand. All in all: The Game is Scrap! Just don't Buy it. Not Once gifted is this Game worth the Installation!
