Struggle Critique
Struggle Critique is an overly detailed and complex but shockingly easy text-based game about being a guy trying to buy things in a post-dystopian future where the government makes you post online video reviews for ad revenue. Also everything is ironic. How weird!
Features:
- Visual novel sections
- Review sections
- Scoring segments
- Jokes
- Some sort of commentary on the government, I wouldn't know how to articulate it
- Bloodborne on the PlayStation Portable
- Baseball...?
Space, F, and Alphanumeric 1, 2, and 3 as directed. Mouse to activate the final text input field. Escape and R will usually exit to to the title/level screen or restart the level.

I love the sense of humor in this game, the neutral options being my favorite for consisting of basically 'this exists and It's Fine', and the review sections aren't like anything I've seen in a VN before. Great fun and it deserves more recognition!
thank you for playing!
