Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition Ativador Download [portable Edition] - http://blltly.com/1mmp8s
About This Game In her mid-20's, Kelly has been forced to move back to Nebraska. Back to that flat expanse, that seemingly endless sea of rustling cornstalks peppered by rusty silos and rustier towns. A typically intense Midwestern storm is approaching while Kelly is out; she needs to get home. Three Fourths Home is a visual short story in which you assume the role of Kelly during her drive through the storm. In the 20 miles between her grandparents' crumbling barn and her parents' home, she receives a phone call from her mother. While driving through a stylized representation of rural Nebraska, you must navigate an extended conversation between Kelly and her parents and younger brother.Three Fourths Home takes a look into a specific moment of these characters' lives and their relationships with one another. The narrative touches on a variety of issues affecting Kelly and her family, including disability, adulthood, and familial obligation.GameplayAs a visual short story, dialogue choice is the primary focus of Three Fourths Home. Between the main game and the epilogue, nearly 800 unique dialogue choices shade the story differently based on how you play. In addition to dialogue choice, you must also keep driving in order to keep the conversation going. Stop, and time slows to a crawl. Kelly has to move forward in order to get home.New to the Extended EditionFor its Steam release, Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition includes an expanded edit of the initial release as well as several new elements, including a new epilogue in addition to a number of extra features. Epilogue: Idling in the RubbleSet at a bus stop in snowy Minnesota, Idling in the Rubble follows another conversation that Kelly has with her mother. The 20-30 minute experience delves into Kelly's past, examining her reasons for moving back to Nebraska and her internal struggle following the events of the main game.Extra FeaturesRadioListen to the soundtrack by Neutrino EffectStoriesFour new stories penned by Kelly's younger brother, BenPhotosTake a look through Kelly's final project for her college photography class b4d347fde0 Title: Three Fourths Home: Extended EditionGenre: Adventure, IndieDeveloper:[bracket]gamesPublisher:DigeratiRelease Date: 20 Mar, 2015 Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition Ativador Download [portable Edition] The only thing I would change would be having to hold down the D button to drive... I ended up missing a lot of the really awesome visual changes in the background because of it.. I'm so damn tired of people complaining about paying for art. You don't like it? fine, it's up for debate, but you're really going to complain that 7 measly bucks is too much? and you want multiple endings? more "gameplay"? seriously? this is a damn fine "game" but the word "game" is no longer what it once was. we've moved past it. you don't need points, or kills, or combos, or new game+ or god damn "winning". it's interactive art, if you don't like the art then fine, but stop saying it's not good because it's not "gamey" enough, it's just stupid.Oh and holding a button down the entire time to drive adds to the feeling of driving through a crazy\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665thunderstorm while having some intense conversations. sorry there's no driving mechanic that allows you to crash and lose and start at the last checkpoint, jesus.. Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition is a character study. You learn about Kelly, her family, and the trials that have led to this place and time. Kelly is trying to get in home in the middle of a summer storm in Nebraska. While driving she is talking to first her mother and then the other members of her family. The interactive comes in the form of selecting how Kelly responds during the conversation.If you are looking for a game with a lot of interactivity, this game is not for you. But I suspect anyone reading this would know that already. If the general descriptions of the game have piqued your interest, then the game is worth your time and money. With that said, make sure you play the second scenario (Kelly waiting for the bus in Minnesota) to get the full sense of the game. Also, the stories that are included as extras are worth your time as well.. It wasn't very fun, but I didn't expect it to be for a game about those awkward phonecalls to parents. I finished it in about an hour, but it was a bittersweet hour for me.Three Fourths Home (Extended Edition) comes in two parts. The main story and an epilogue, the latter not being in the initial release. Strangely, the epilogue had a harder emotional impact on me, but even if it didn't, the Extended Edition only costs an extra 2 bucks. Chump change I don't mind giving to have the whole unadulterated experience.As a story, it's best for those who are currently going through or have recently gone through their coming of age, for it thematically focuses on matters of family and the young adult's fears for the future, stuff not normally dealt with in a medium that is well-known for escapism. So as a game, it's definitely far from the norm, and whether or not that's a good thing will depend on how receptive you are to the idea of reading about the realities of relationships and growing up. Some reviewers think that more games like this are needed. Others think games should just keep being what they've always been about. I think it would be wiser to maintain an open mind when browsing the store page. Opinions are always subject to change as time goes on. The game scorned today for its complete lack of 'gameplay' might become the game desired for its contextual significance tomorrow. Food for thought.On a closing note, I have 52 games on this account at the time of writing this. This is the first one I've reviewed, because unlike the others, many of which are excellent, memorable and purchased in good faith and without regret, this one was all that and more for it struck all the right chords within me. So I recommend you buy it and play to the end just to see if it might do the same for you. And if it doesn't, the refund option will still be there, and you'll have only lost an hour. But it'll be an hour in the world of someone who you might just end up becoming one stormy morning.. It starts off good. Something different, very unique. Interesting. I didnt connect too much with the characters but thats okay. I was enjoying the ride (literally: the game is your drive home). But then I reached the halfway point. I will not spoil anything but something is injected into the conversation and it feels extremely unnatural. It broke the immersion for me.What was injected wasnt bad. It was kind of interesting. It just did not fit with the game, or what was happening on screen, and after this not so short segment was over I had a hard time figuring out the point of it.
