What a friggin' time capsule, cause yeah, I was NOT prepared to hear about Team Edward and Team Jacob in 2026 xD
So Mid It's Almost Charming Pffff... this one is a mixed bag. There really isn't anything truly memorable about this game. I enjoyed some of the jokes, the main female character was quite interesting, and I also liked the scientist girl's monologue. Other than that, though, this was mostly just a meh experience. The video production is very amateurish, but it's still watchable. The story is extremely generic ...
Press X to Not Die is intentionally ridiculous, and being utterly terrible is clearly part of the joke. If you enjoy cheesy FMV games that don't take themselves seriously, there's some entertainment to be had. That said, the game is extremely short. Even with multiple endings and different choices, it can easily be completed in under 30 minutes, and I'd estimate there's only around two hours of content at most if...
