About This Game Gone In November is a video game which deals with the theme of depression. Go through the mind and thoughts of a patient who was diagnosed with a deadly disease during his last days of living. A short experience where your choices and your actions don't matter. Texting messages to a social network account that has been inactive for 121 days, have the habit of watering the cacti without any clear reason, fencing your apartment to isolate yourself from the outside world - what else someone can possibly do when they are at their bottom? "Aren't we all puppets and the modern world is what pulling the strings? It is tearing us apart. The closer we are to each other, the more lonely we feel." 1075eedd30 Title: Gone In NovemberGenre: Adventure, IndieDeveloper:FlorastaminePublisher:Sometimes YouRelease Date: 18 Aug, 2016 Gone In November Download] [Ativador] I purchased this game, because it was only $1, and looked pretty interesting. The mixed reviews threw me off, but I went for it anyways, since it's been on my Steam Wishlist for about a month now.In Gone in November, you play the role of a man who is about to die, and you see fragments of his memory as he dies. It sounds really sad, and admitedly, it is sad, but the game doesn't really do a whole lot with it's premise to make the themes it presents powerful. At the end of the game, you pretty much have more questions, then you do answers, and a good chunk of the story is vague.Gameplay is your standard walking simulator title, and it does everything pretty well. No real complaints in that department. The soundtrack is fitting, and I actually quite like it. The soft, sad-sounding music is fitting for this game, and the themes it attempts to tackle.Graphically, the game looks pretty solid for a 3D indie title. Unfortunately, the game tries to fit your monitor on startup, instead of giving you an option to adjust the game yourself. There's an easy way around this, using Notepad, but it's frustrating it wasn't included in the final product.The game is also exceptionally short, with my playtime being around 20 minutes. With this game being $1, I expected it to be short, but it felt a bit too short for my taste.I wouldn't recommend Gone In November, unless it's at least 50% off. It's not an absolutely awful experience, but it felt like the game didn't last long enough to make an impact.Pros:+ Solid graphics.+ Controls work exceptionally.+ Great soundtrack.Cons:- Story is lacking, and doesn't use it's themes to it's full potential.- No way to manually change resolution, unless you adjust a file with Notepad.- Very short (20 minutes of gameplay)Final Rating: 5\/10. (Some spoilers!)Money wasn\u2019t even an issue here, and it shouldn\u2019t be an issue for anyone considering this game is a cent short of a dollar. Anyway - this is a great game. Very short, I finished it in about 10 minutes. The topics presented are deep, personal, and for some, very relatable. For me indeed. The story is straightforward, part of it can be interpreted, though. Essentially it\u2019s the story of a man who has a form of cancer, presumably lung cancer, based on the cigarette seen on the livingroom table. You control this unnamed main character through his journey. Not a lot is presented, and the information the player receives is through reading. The player can infer that the main character is dying, very quickly. He goes through his final moments remembering the good and the bad times throughout his life. If you haven\u2019t already assumed - this is a very depressing game. I\u2019m depressed just writing this review. I didn\u2019t cry, but there\u2019s deep, sad feeling, which will linger for a while. This game reminds us of things we often forget. That\u2019s all there\u2019s to say about this. The graphics aren\u2019t anything special, they weren't the priority however. The story is engaging, incredibly sad; I found myself smiling at the things I read, and I found myself nearly crying because of the things I read. This is a wonderful game, and a wonderful journey to experience.9\/10 I highly recommend this masterpiece.. This is one of the many emotional and depressing games you will find on Steam and this one suits it well. Granted its not a work of art in the graphical means, but it does tell a very good story with nice decisions to make. Kind of reminds me of myself however :(. Have to agree with the negative reviews. Gone in November's a short game: in the first half you're wandering through a house completing some quotidian tasks (that basically consist of clicking on things). In the second half, it devolves into a sparse "dream world" where you walk down a path marked out for you and read short messages that pop up. It's supposed to be about the story unfolding over the course of the game but, as other reviewers have noted: (a) some of the messages are compromised by bad grammar and (b) with the pieces your given the details of the story remain vague and confusing [this part's a little spoilery] you're a sick man? you broke up with your girlfriend who something was wrong with her? someone was in a car accident? did one of you move to Vietnam?Basically, this feels unfinished, it's mostly a walking simulator, there is some interesting food for thought but the deeper story about illness, depression, ? isn't delivered clearly enough to realy hit the mark.One of the biggest pros people give is "well it's cheap," but even so I'm not sure how well spent my time playing this game was.. The English needs improvement, but the game as a walking simulator is a good view of people who are actually going through these feelings. The story is nice. This game is comforting in a somber way.7\/10. This is one of the many emotional and depressing games you will find on Steam and this one suits it well. Granted its not a work of art in the graphical means, but it does tell a very good story with nice decisions to make. Kind of reminds me of myself however :(. While the game is rather cheap (less than $1 on sale) and has a strong concept of what it wants to do- it is executed extremely poorly by the developers. I do not mind text based games- but the text itself is confusing and often overlaps onto itself- I also had difficulty understanding who was saying what. It felt difficult to understand and a bit nonsensical if you moved too quickly and had text overlapping on text and scattered test on the grounds. It's difficult to say that I recommend this game in its state since the pricing is about what I expected for this type of game with a lack of visual presentation. Pros: + Cheap, Cheap, Cheap + Good Concept, Difficult Subject + Runs Well, No Crashing ( Functions )+ Decent WritingCons: + Confusing Narritive Presentation+ Lack of Visuals + Overlapping text ( where text is not suppose to overlap )+ Some spelling errors + Issues with hitbox on pills in kitchenConclusion: If you feel like spending 30 minutes reading a narritive that is semi-difficult to understand but has some heart behind the writing- feel free to spend a $0.84 on it. I didn't feel like it added anything to my life, personally, so I cannot recommend it.
