I just like games. I use Steam, mostly, but some things are only available here. Desura is almost as convenient as Steam. Almost.

Dysfunctional Systems: Learning to Manage Chaos

Game review

This visual novel has a compelling basic idea. The ui is smooth and clean. The art is good. The music is good. The sound effects could be better. I just wish it wasn't so damn SHORT!

When I purchased this game I was expecting maybe 4-5 hours of story until I got to the end, since that's the average time I read through most VNs. Instead it lasted about one and a half. I played it again, to see if I missed something and got the Bad Ending. I didn't.

I did not realize that as an episodic VN, it would be significantly shorter than others. Perhaps the price should have tipped me off. I slightly regert buying this VN, now.

I also would have appreciated more background information, on the worlds, on the science, on their jump devices. But that's a different grumbling than my main issue- This VN's surprisingly short length!

And what's more, the first choice is not until almost halfway through this 'episode'. But despite my brevity-angst, it's a solid production. ALMOST worth the $5. I'll probably buy the next one, at least now I know what to expect. I just hope it's a little longer.

And I really want that codex to be full. To. Bursting.

Compelling, but not perfect. The game seems like it moves too quickly and too slowly all at once. In particular, the load times are annoying.
