Unfolded : Camellia Tales Reviews

Where is the free DLC???

So tragic and sad. I want to know in next part the why did the old Herman dissapear and where did he go. I have played unfolded massacre one, this version is 10 times better. I want people to play this more and upload in youtube walkthough i finished this game by this https://www.adventurespel.nl/games/walk/ufold.html site. Though it is written in ducth i have to auto translate by extension. Nice story..

This game is so beautifully illustrated and manages to handle such difficult topics with grace. The development team should be commended for their courage to talk about Jeju Island's painful history and their work is so important to spread awareness of the genocide that occurred there under the U.S. military government's watch. As a U.S. citizen, I feel strongly that our leaders need to formally apologize and accept responsibility for the government's role in what happened, as well as offer reparations in whatever form the victims of the genocide deem most beneficial. No apology or reparations could possibly bring justice to those who already lost their lives and suffered great trauma, but it would go a long way to foster healing and cross-cultural understanding. In terms of game-play, some of the puzzles are pretty difficult to the point of frustration, so it would be great to have some additional hints for players if you get stuck for more than a certain amount of time. I also found I had to click many times to navigate across different scenes, which can become tedious. This could also be improved with more guidance on where the clickable areas are on the ground, such as with a glowing overlay (ideally a single click could take you across the scene quickly). I've really enjoyed the music and the color schemes so far- those really support the story themes and help prevent it from feeling too overwhelming. Telling the story through the eyes of a child is such a great way to build empathy, and the dialogue of the main character with adults is such an effective way to teach about difficult history. Adults naturally gloss over issues that would be too upsetting for kids, so that allows the narrative to feel a bit easier to process emotionally even for adults. So far, the English translation seems to be great and I haven't seen any issues or confusing text. I really appreciate the journal entries that teach about the history of Jeju as you progress in the game- it's so much more fun than reading history textbooks! In the Southeast US public schools, there was no mention of the Jeju Island massacre or other genocides resulting from the Red Scare (for example in Indonesia), so this is a very valuable educational game for students who want to learn more. I will update this review when I finish playing as well, as I haven't yet reached the most difficult parts of the story.

A good point-and-click game set during a dark chapter of Korean history. We follow a boy from 1948, trying to live his life as best as he can while a bloody civil war is being waged on his island. I didn't know anything about this incident before playing this game but it seems that a lot of care was put into depicting it. Even for people with no interest in history, there is still a good story to be found, about surviving with your family through trying times. It's not all doom and gloom though, there are also many lighthearted moments. It's all pretty well written although the English translation feels quite weird at times. The accompanying music is quite good too, and so is its distinct hand-drawn art style. It all plays a part in drawing the player into Herman's story. Anyway, it was difficult to put the game down as I really got invested into the characters and wanted to see the conclusion of the story. FYI, while the story reaches a satisfying conclusion, there's apparently more to come in a free DLC planned in May. On the gameplay side, it's a standard point-and-click with not-so-difficult puzzles. You can even get hints by using your journal on items (this is also how you can write poems about them). I found almost all sketches and poems but was missing quite a lot of entries in the in-game encyclopedia. I'm not sure what's up with that... On the negative side, the game is slightly buggy but there's nothing game-breaking. It's mostly a few dialogues that appeared out of place and a few missing lines. Still, that's a shame. In the end, it offers gripping story and characters and even though it's a bit rough around the edges, it's definitely worth a play in my opinion! If you're still on the fence, there's a free prologue that you can play. It shows roughly the first third of the game.
