AG: Whilst having a distinctive look and well-crafted backstory, the lack of gameplay depth leaves Girl with a Heart of feeling as unfinished as its title.
If you know anything about Reddit, you know that they’re a pretty big authority on games. Well now, they’ve decided to throw their hat in the ring.
It’s not often you see an indie bundle accepting Bitcoins as a viable payment option, but this is the brainchild of Reddit, after all. Introducing the GameDev Bundle. So, what we have here is your usual, run-of-the-mill indie bundle. Not much different from all the others: Six different developers, six games, a bonus title if you pay over $6 and a percentage of the final takings squirrelled away in a magic box for the charity-fairies to cart away afterwards. While none of these titles are available on Steam, you do get DRM-free downloads and a handy Desura activation code for the whole set. If you’ve been keeping up with the Indie Royales to date, you should have quite a collection there already.
IGM writes: "You know when people tell you that life is a journey and not a destination? Well, Girl With A Heart Of took that as gospel. Rather than force-feeding us a transparent set of arbitrarily strung together gameplay set-pieces, developer Bent Spoon Games has opted to serve up story-driven narrative adventure, placing a firm emphasis on moral choice and player decision in a way that goes a significant way towards blurring the lines between literature and interactive gaming.
The results? A little patchy."
