Myosotis (4 out of 5 Happy J-Pops!)

So, I played this game called Myosotis Chapter 1. I almost didn't play this game because of the weird looking title and that fact that it was cut in chapters which meant it was short as hell.

It's actually a really freaking awesome game. The characters and settings are in black and white and basically just shapes representing ideas. You play as this detective guy. Apparently this chick, that treated him like sh*t, needs his help, and because he loves her so much he must help. She's in this hotel and that is where the game actually takes play. You only have to use a mouse. Ok, good times.

This is basically a side-scrolling game/puzzle web game, but it's awesome because side-scrolling/puzzle web game isn't a sub-genre! They molded equally 'meh' games into one awesome 'meh +' game! The puzzles are just hard enough. Which is basically hard enough that you still feel a sense of pride when you beat it, but not hard enough that you brag about it. The side-scrolling feature basically lets you know in which direction you need to go to propel the story forward. That's nice and convenient. The story-line is semi-brilliant and it does make me want to continue on to Chapter 2, so it gets points there.

I liked it. It doesn't get full five stars because it is just too dang short! Just as I am hooked into the story line and I am well adjusted to the game play mechanics it deus ex machina's the f*ck outta there. I had a sad. :(

Anyway, give it a go and let me know what you think. :D (Oh, look! I has a happy!)
