Frequency Dissonance Reviews

Part of the bundle or on sale, this is a good purchase. Otherwise, the game is a tad too short to be worth $4.00. Everything else about it is great, though.

I do appreciate the message behind the various endings as well as the feeling of trying to break the rules to subvert a destructive cycle, but I think this game is just too fleeting compared to something like [i]Please, Don't Touch Anything[/i] or [i]The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe[/i] (I'm echoing another reviewer here). There is a bit of thought and experimentation involved in unlocking the endings, but I apparently got them all in 23 minutes, which doesn't even fall within the stated range of the CosmOS 9 bundle (30 - 90 minutes per game). Perhaps I'm just an outlier in this case. In fairness, I do like how the game cleverly but subtly steers you toward the final ending via small details picked up in the other endings, but I still don't think that's quite enough to give a general recommendation. Also, this is nitpicky, but I noticed some typos such as missing apostrophes or small words. You do spend a fair portion of your time reading ending text, and it's not a large script to proofread compared to a visual novel.

Is 'aight. Short, but fairly pleasant. It doesn't overstay its welcome, although a bit more depth might be nice. If you're looking to kill 20 or 30 minutes I'd say it's worth it. Pretty easy if you just poke at things and experiment.

[h1] Bad frequency [/h1] Imagine that you played one of those many different endings game (like reventure or stanlye parable) but there were only 8 ending and each of them took no more than 2 minutes to complete. And worst of all - ever one of them was kinda boring and predictable, provided that you played a few games of this type in your lifetime. Only worth playing if you are getting CosmOS9 (which you should buy) but as a standalone buy I would not recommend

got this as part of a bundle. not really worth it on its own but as part of the pack it's alright. each ending takes like a minute and theres about ten of them. I like the true ending.

While not a full scale game (barely a mini-game probably, more like a comic strip of a game), it left a very nice and warm feeling on completion. Despite being extra short, all the ingredients or a great experience is there. - Fun, though kinda dark, plot. (Interactive scifi) - Lovely pixel graphics - A bit of humor - Achievement hunting - For me, it had a strong "Papers pease" vibe to it. Probably not worth the full price (as everything gamee has to offer can be done with in about 20 minutes), but as a part of the Space 9 bundle - quite a nice installment in the bunch.

it's a good short puzzle game with a unique mood. My only complaint is that some of the sounds are too loud, so watch out for that.

Not much to say about this one. A short "find all endings" game with a very small playable space and only a few endings. Can be finished in 10-15 minutes. As part of the CosmOS9 bundle, it is okay, but I would be miffed if I paid 4 dollars for it. A very slight thumbs up because the game has a goal and it reaches it, but there really isn't much to do here.

Frequency Dissonance was a pleasant surprise for me. While the puzzle elements here are less prominent, it's the narrative and how comical it can be that really caries it. This game is structured with many endings depending on your actions, and yet every single "story" will only take you a bit of time to complete after you figure everything out. I found myself chuckling at a bunch of moments, but it's also pretty interesting and somewhat thought provoking in some aspects. It's a worthile experience for those who were already intrigued by the rest of the bundle, and a lot of fun standalone, albeit perhaps a bit too short.

One of those "find all the endings" games in the vein of the stanley parable or please, don't touch anything, but with such a small possibility space that it's hard not to suss out every ending in a half hour or so. And there's, y'know... "a statement" in it but not one that hits particularly hard with loops that take all of like 2 minutes to complete at most. Wouldn't say it's unpleasant but it's... not much of anything and even at $4 I'd struggle to say it's worth your money. More meh than anything though. As for the bundle as a whole... it really feels like a game jam that they're making you pay to play. Half the games are either tech demos or just feel... unpolished, and they're all a bit too far on the short side to be particularly engaging. And there's no real cohesion between the graphical design or the controls meaning the whole "console" gimmick doesn't really hold up. The whole set is definitely a bit overpriced and even at the 50% off price point I can't say it felt worth the time I spent with them all. If you do have to get any games in this pack, Triga is probably worth full price, Linelith and IFO are pretty cool albeit a bit underdeveloped and probably worth it on sale, and maaaaybe Tendy and Frequency Dissonance are worth it on sale but those are hard to recommend otherwise, and the other four are either too tedious or too underdeveloped to be even worth your time, so I'd give the bundle as a whole a pass.
