You, a 20-something year old man, share a bedroom with your sister of a similar age.Īnd, for whatever reason, your mother thought it best to install a lock on the door you share that is controlled by a key.Įven so, narrative events, including the encouter with Steph, are not restricted to the time of day but mere progress through the extremely linear narrative. The argument unfolds rapidly, in a flurry of jumbled lines that are riddled with typographical errors, before the mother addresses you:ĥ) no mention of any other sibling.yet, after this baffling interaction, a few scenes later "MAIN QUEST" you'll stride inside your bedroom to discover that "Steph" is topless. In order to exit your bedroom, however, you must first don some clothes (accomplished by clicking your wardrobe) then locate the key to unlock your bedroom door (click the top drawer of your desk) the less said about an interior door that operates with a key-lock mechanism on the inside, the better, as things will only become progressively more bizarre. The trope-heavy, yet ridiculously contrived story begins with our protagonist exiting their room and stumbling into an argument between what is, ostensibly, their mother and elder sister. Intrinsically, Puzzled Life fails on every front of the game development sector from the audio-visual presentation and narrative, to the foundational mechanics that frivol away your time. Few games exemplify the pitfalls of Poser-based visual novels like Puzzled Life, a fever dream of haphazardly cobbled assets and a writer with ambitions grotesquely in excess of their reach.
