    Simply put, this game is just bad. The art is pretty, but that's about all it has going for it. The gameplay is awkward at best. It feels thrown together and like they let their donors down... curse you kickstarter and your no refunds!

    I really like story-driven games, even more when they let you choose the story. For that, I really wanted to like this game.

    The art is pretty, yes. The soundtrack is not awful but at some point the way the characters talk just gets annoying. You can, however, turn that off so it's not a big deal.

    The problem with this game is that I didn't like the characters, I tried, but they would just complain about anything. At the end I was just skipping dialogues because I couldn't care less about some weird couple's marriage or all the games some dude played. Even though the 'desert island' theme has been used several times I felt they could have made a much better story. On the bright side, they did keep the story credible, but maybe too much. Maybe an unexpected twist or some characters with a deeper background would have made this more enjoyable.

    They did what they promised and your choices DO matter. But at the end they are choices about 'who gets the water' or 'who gets to eat'. In the first case, whoever you picked would get hurt (and usually this will ONLY mean they're going to keep the wound visible through the game and the will complain about it. As I said before, they just complain about everything). In the second case, you'll decide who dies.

    I have read many positive reviews about this game, so I guess it just wasn't my cup of tea.    … Expand

    I cannot believe this "game" has any positive review. I was bored in seconds. My friends kid took slightly longer to be completely bored....but it was under a minute. There is nothing "quirky", fun, funny, interesting, or cool about this non-game, game. Feel angry and ripped off. $25 hard-earned dollars going to losers probably kicked out of school for wasting their teachers time.

    Dyscourse looks great on screenshots and seems like a complex gamebook, but in reality is not that beautiful and gameplay is very repetitive if you play over to see different outcomes. [06/2015, p.73]

    Exploration, dialogue and puzzle solving: that's what this game offers, and if you're into that, here you'll find an interesting experience.

    Dyscourse is a short and approachable game, offering a replayable experience featuring a branching narrative and a ton of meaningful choices to make, putting you in charge of a group of survivors stranded on a desert island.
