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 For Windows PC 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 :(. 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. 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.. I'm recommending this game, though I don't believe it is for a lot of people. It's short, has terrible graphics, and is the very definition of a walking simulator with very little interaction. But I liked it. I enjoyed the message it was trying to deliver (though it is a little convoluted) and expressed it in a few experimental and interesting ways. One aspect I really liked was how the dialouge and the characters thoughts would pop up on screen but as you walked further more and more text would pop up clouding the screen in disturbing thoughts and misunderstood perceptions. I was frantically trying to read them all, but as I tried to read them others would disapear and others would appear before I could fully grasp them. I don't know if this was intentionally trying to create that sense of mental bombardment we can sometimes go through, but I found it pretty effective. Overall it's a short experience that costs less than a dollar. It has no replayability but leaves you thinking about it afterwords. I enjoy this "short story" type gaming and I hope to see more of it. If you're looking for a short and semi-interesting experience that's worth every one of your 84 cents (but not much more), this is your game.. 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.
