Surprisingly good

A harebrained and very short story, an incredibly annoying main character, innuendo that feels completely out of place, the absence of explicit imagery, no interactivity, and some text issues. Sounds bad? Oh, by no means! Enki & Tiny Freddie was so delightfully hilarious. I enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart.

[h1]SOLID, BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH[/h1] An Un-epic story is a very short (~2 hours) kinetic novel about two adventurers that need on a quest to save the world. Sounds generic, right? Yep, it was generic. Of course your experience may vary - depends on what do you like. Fun characters and unusual "twists" were the best part of the game. Interactions between Enki and Freddie definitely carried the game. They weren't good enough to carry the romance part tho. It was too rushed and poorly written. Maybe another hour to build the relationship would help? Who knows. Fantasy elements were okay-ish. They helped to make the world believable, but it was too little to make it interesting. Comedy was... bad. Arrow to the knee or Metal Gear alert sound... really? I really liked art style. Really good designs (especially Freddie character), nice backgrounds, pretty CGs (SFW). There's no voice acting, but soundtrack did the job to make some scenes better. I didn't find any bugs or other major issues. [b]Do I recommend this game? Yes and no. [/b] 'An Un-epic story' is cheap so I don't regret my purchase. Did I have some fun? Yes. Will I remember this game after a week? Not really.

I saw this and it looked to be a wlw fantasy story that was kinda on the chill side and I was really hoping it would kind of be that, and in some ways it is that, but in most ways its just.... poor, well it intends to be parody, but it's not quite managing that, of fantasy especially fantasy anime. I don't know the authors of course, and I don't want to dismiss what was clearly hard work to some people, but when people talk about the stereotype of "Men writing wlw stories" this style of writing is what they're talking about. The art is really good and so are the designs, and it clearly comes from a love of fantasy anime, and the enthusiasm here gives it some charm, but it's characters, women especially, feel not in the least bit real and the jokes too focused on surface level references than really doing anything with it. Its very "They know from better stories that creators sometimes do x, but has yet to understand why." and it shows. Also just some big annoyances for me personally are the repeated SA jokes with the monsters and a character whose clearly a trans woman being outed at the end and misgendered. It's clearly meant to be a surface level reference to Felix, a man who simply prefers to dress fem but they ended up writing her as obvious a trans girl, even denoting her body disphoria and wrote her really rudely. It's art did carry me to the end, and I think the energy and effort shown here can like grow into something better, but maybe a future project. This just ain't it.

I legit just bought this today and it showed the game in both English and Russian. Even before the game loaded on stream I put the language option for English. Yet it won't translate to English, and there isn't even an option to change it in the game itself. I'm very disappointed in the outcome of the setting and language options. I thought it would be a fun game to try out.
