Reviews for The Evening of the Son

This is the type of game I like where you have to make a plan on how to use your supplies properly and move on until you get to the finish.

I ended the game with 126 (!!!) water supplies, the only issue about this is, apparently, the guy doesn't know how to "search for water", instead, he can search for everything except for the valuable liquid, you should add an option to search for water, even if it takes a little success % to get.

You can practically live off medikits and food, I wonder why the guy hasn't died of dehydration halfway through the game...

For some reason, the "crazy guy" encounter doesn't award you the supplies for the first time, afterwards, the next "crazy guy" encounters will award you the items, you should check the coding in this area.

Medals are not registering, so far, I've gotten the doctor, the steak and workout party thing, the badass group, the lone guy, the safehouse, and many others... Even when finishing the game there's a highscore error, meaning that, or you didn't correctly linked newgrounds highscores with your game, or something is interrupting the connection. You should try checking that area too and contact Newgrounds about the matter.

Overall, the game is really good, but it's a bit unbalanced and requires some testing on it, so far, the only guy who has the medals are the author, that might mean he only played the game instead of letting other play it as a beta.

I'll give this game a 3/5 for the reasons above.

Thanks for reading.

i have played a few of these now but I am disappointed that the medals do not work but not really worried about them. I found that it had a degree of difficulty involved in the obtaining of water and armour but that added to the realism. the art work was alright but it would have been better if there was slightly more o add to the theme. also I grew a moustache during the game?
pro tip* I found I gathered more water when I travelled. armour is lost easily so ramp up the attack and use medkits if it ever comes to that.

The game is nice and cool, except by the fact that water is too hard to find and too easy to lose.

I went through the last 50 miles with no water. Luckily I had a tonne of medkits, so I just kept resting for 4 energy and -5 health and then healing when I needed to. Very slow going. I also didn't find a single weapon through the whole game, and never got my armour above 3.

I like the game but there is no button to find water lol. I am always low on water.
