App Profile: Return of Serenity

I really enjoyed this game. I downloaded it as an Apple suggestion and was thrilled within the first few minutes when I realized it was an Amirali Rajan game. I’ve been a huge fan of his storytelling since A Dark Room. This is a similar game - it paints a vivid picture with words and simple game play. It’s pretty short, but really intriguing!

I’ve played A Dark Room, The Ensign and Noble Circle. Fantastic and creative games with rich stories. All games made by Amirali Rajan. I’ve recommended those games to multiple people. I was looking forward to a new game from a great creator. I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone. It took 10 minutes to finish. The “story” was bland and shallow. I played it twice just to see if I missed something. If it was free I still wouldn’t recommend it. Amirali must be hurting for money to charge people for this. If you’re thinking of buying this you’re better off donating to a charity for indie developers, you’ll at least save on time and disappointment.

A purchase of digital goods is not an exchange. It is nonsense to judge a video game by popular rules: how well it meets certain standards, or how much time it made you waste. A real game presents you with real life. I couldn't say that Serenity is a masterpiece. It is only a game. By saying "game", I mean, it is a Game.
