Resumen

Always Sometimes Monsters es un juego de rol único ambientado en el mundo moderno. Asumes la vida de tu personaje durante 30 días mientras intentas llegar de la costa este a la costa oeste antes de que tu único y verdadero amor se case con otra persona.

Por el camino te enfrentarás a un sinfín de decisiones que alterarán el curso de tu viaje y cambiarán el destino de tu personaje. Estas decisiones afectarán a los personajes que encuentres y al mundo que les rodea, pero pocas cosas son tan binarias como el bien y el mal. Tu historia única estará moldeada por tu brújula ética personal, sin ninguna otra igual.

Argumento

Tus bolsillos están vacíos.
Tu vida es un caos.
Has arruinado tu carrera.
Te van a desahuciar.

El amor de tu vida se casa con otra.

Con muy poco tiempo por delante, haces un último esfuerzo para salvar tu mundo.

¿Hasta dónde estarás dispuesto a llegar para arreglar las cosas?
¿Qué estás dispuesto a sacrificar por una oportunidad más de ser feliz?
¿A quién estás dispuesto a herir en el proceso?

¿Quién podría juzgarte?
Al final, ¿no somos siempre monstruos?

Always sometimes monstersNot always the heroAlways sometimes monsters is a bit of a life simulator where you play as a writer...the gameAlways sometimes monstersNot always the heroAlways sometimes monsters is a bit of a life simulator where you play as a writer...the game starts with you choosing a character and then choosing that characters boyfriend or girlfriend…And then it smacks you with lifeyou lose your job as writeryour partner leaves youyou’re evicted from your apartment and you getting a wedding invite to guess who’s wedding?And you spend the 9 and a half hours of this game trying to get to your exes weddingBeing broke and now homeless, doing this is no easy feat, so it’s up to you to get from city to city by helping out characters around the world, or you could straight up just buy a bus ticket..Either way it’s a day in and day out grind of hustling…You can get a job chopping up animals or tofu...Do odd jobs around the city for a few dollars or invest in sandwich stocks at the bacon shop... but there’s more fun to be had in solving the problems of the town and its inhabitantsThe game does a great job of making the day to day grind feel real, of finally thinking you almost have enough to pay rent and then realizing, right.. I have to eat… spending my days’ worth of work money on some food so I can fall asleep...And while sleeping you’ll occasionally have a dream about your ex... Indicating you may not quite be over them... and your intentions for arriving to this wedding might not be so pure... or maybe they are... it’s up to you... the game is full of choicefrom writing about your day before you go to sleep to making choices around the world to get on peoples good sides so that they’ll scratch you’re back later on… while at the same time making sure a choice you make for one person doesn’t affect another..The game isn’t in your face about choices mattering, but every once in a while I got smacked with the realization that if I made a different choice earlier... this solution to get to the next town probably wouldn’t have worked…this cycle of rise and grind continues through all 9 and a half hrs. just with different towns and different jobs.. Jobs that feel as tedious as they would in real life…So the game does a great job at immersing you into its world…however I feel the game overstays its welcome a bit... there’s a section in the middle where the game wants you to get involved in politics for a town I had no connection to and I didn’t care for…This town is when I really started to get bored with the grind of getting through the day to day with this game and just saved up for a bus tickets as fast as I could ignored its problems and left to the next town…A town a little more interesting but still… I was over the gameplay and grind so I rushed through getting out of this section as well, trying to get to this wedding as fast as I could…Performance wise, I did run into a crash every couple of hrs, and the game would freeze up for a few seconds every now and then, but nothing too annoying to deal withDespite overstaying its welcome, Always sometimes monsters does a great job at feeling alive..The world feels lived in, immerses you and makes you think about yourself in ways that few video games do…It’s worth picking up and playing through, but I don’t believe its best played in one sitting or even 2 like I tried to doI give Always sometimes monstersa 7/10

The story is interesting, it's the only thing that will keep you invested. The moral choice system is lame and could use some work.

The gameplay is incredibly boooring and anyone who really needs good gameplay will probably get bored of this game real quick.

A great example of an eyesore spit out by indie devs convinced that only the story matters. The worst part is that they had no idea how to write the story to avoid it being a cliché running with the pack of sad, moving indie games.

It is not an happy game, it will not make you feel better, and probably it will not entertain you. So, why do you have to play Always Sometimes Monsters? Because, in a nutshell, it has one of the best narrative we've seen these days.

Even though this game did a good job at focusing on choices, relationships, and the outcomes of the decisions you make, the simple controls and monotonous tasks really ruined it for me in the end. Overall this game will find an audience, but to tell you the truth it’s going to be a hit and miss affair if you will be the one that the game is meant for.
