Isolationist Nightclub Simulator Reviews

very dreamy very cool love it

Terrible walking sim with crappy performance.

A dream-like space full of playful and interesting ideas. I'm absolutely loving my time in here.

Think of this less like a game and more like visiting a virtual museum you can interact with. There is not a huge amount of interactivity, but there is a surprising amount of stuff to find and play with. Easy to make music and the art gallery was a highlight and fun to explore. Would probably make more sense in VR, but still it's much cheaper than going out to a real gallery!

Performs terribly. Graphics are subpar for it's demands. Controls are a bit stiff. Collision is inconsistent. Soundboard on stage is inconsistent. I think its got a few cool gimmicks, and a neat concept, its just poorly delivered and just feels like its unfinished. Edit: To expand on this, Receiver 2, a game about shooting drones protecting cassette tapes, does a better job of having a space like this. It has "the compound" that you can go into and explore. It lets you add custom music to a PA system and is a generally nice environment to be in.

This was my first game that I bought on Steam, and although it's a small game, it holds the foundation of my entire Steam account. I might be biased, but the experiences that I had in this game were pretty good and worth the price.

Yeah for sure, I'll add this into the next update" https://steamcommunity.com/app/1523100/discussions/0/3052859736122536810/?tscn=1645152027 Unfortunately, I did not realize there is a 14 day limit on refunds in addition to the 2-hour limit, which I knew about. I was unable to refund this. So when developers promise something, and do not deliver, it takes real money out of real pockets. It may not seem like much to someone who just plays around. It is relatively easy to string people along and make them think you care. I'm not sure why I ended up at the isolationist nightclub, but still I wander.

I like it and it makes me feel lonely at the same time. Just like in reality...

It's hard to describe this one... it's a place that lets you go anywhere you want in your own abandoned club, which is sort of equal parts peaceful and lonely. It's enjoyable making your own music with the in-game synths, and I could see this being great fun to have in the background at a (real world) party. The atmosphere is really strong with some great sound and music, and if you're someone who enjoys exploring in games for the sake of exploring, there's a lot to get from this nightclub.

First off, developer Edwin Montgomery received a $4,957 AUD grant from the state of Victoria in Australia to help develop an "online interactive virtual 'nightclub' to present his music" and I think that's pretty cool. More folks who are interested in becoming game developers should be looking into whether or not their local or state/provincial government has grant money available for their projects. Second, it only cost me $5.69 CDN to buy this, and given how buggy I found the whole experience to be, I think I did get my money's worth. I enjoyed playing around with the instruments to create my own dance groove and it's likely that I might leave one of my own "creations" running in the background while I'm doing something else. That is, if the program were reliable enough to run consistently. The two times I've attempted to exit the game, the exit command wouldn't work and Windows had to force-quit the game for me. Also, a few of the drumbeats didn't work and I'm not entirely sure how to work some of the other instruments. I haven't tried the Arcade yet, but given that once I picked up an empty martini glass and couldn't put it down (that was the first time I attempted to exit, btw) I'm not sure I want to try any of the games. All in all, if you're the kind of person who has some money to spare, you like playing around with sound patches, and you feel like supporting a creative person, this is the "game" for you. If you'd prefer something a bit more polished, I'd look somewhere else. As for me, I hope that Edwin Montgomery makes enough off of this to find the time to fix the bugs and perhaps also fix up the garden. It doesn't even have any flowers!
