    There’s no knowing that you’ll go nowhere in life not knowing your no’s! Though sparse by way of gameplay and mechanics, the game’s strength lies within the commentary on social norms by over-exaggerating “yes-man” culture and self-sacrifice most of us can relate to on some level.

    While Say No! More might not be everyone’s cup of tea as it’s an experiential title that centers entirely on its story and characters, I had a great time in the two hours it took to finish it, and can’t wait to play with another character and a different language in which to say “NO” in. It’s a heartfelt game that will gift a smile to many players’ faces, while also delivering a strong message essential to our daily lives. Say yes to Say No! more.

    Say No! More does a great job in giving the player some casual and lighthearted fun. With some satirical and colorful scenarios about corporate work culture, the adventure provokes themes of self-advocacy and helping those around you. You can easily tell the game is full of heart and humor. Despite its shortcoming of being a one-time deal, Say No! More is an experience worth picking up.

    Say No! More is such a strange game it can barely be considered one: you just need to press the spacebar to get to the end (even if there’s a moment when you need to *not* press it and I almost got stuck). Despite this, it is indeed a funny game that smashes the “yes man” workaholic culture, and it does it under a beautiful SEGA-blue sky. Perfect if played after eight hours in the office.

    Say No! More is an example of what a small team with a clear message and design direction can deliver. Studio Fizbin has crafted a short but happy game that explains why uttering a certain word is necessary and makes players feel powerful while saying it. I felt like a better human being after I finished it, even if it might not actually lead to more instances of “No” in my own life. There’s a little bit too much earnestness in the writing at times, especially during the final third, but once one buys into the premise it is easy to get past it. Say No! More talks about the importance of choice and self-expression and curious players should ignore its thesis and say “Yes” to this narrative-driven experience.

    Look, it's more of an experimental comedy movie than anything else. Unless you just want to mess around and interrupt digital co-workers with laughter for however long you feel like.

    In all Say No! More is a simple but powerful message in a simple but powerful style, that play to the strengths of Studio Fizbin and despite the meaning behind everything, the game knows not to take itself too seriously despite itself, allowing for a short but very well meaning experience that isn’t about never saying yes, or always saying no, but having the courage to just Say No! More.

    Tongue-in-cheek simulation with little challenge, but a playful lesson in learning how to say “no”.

    Say No! More is a fun and humorous on-rails adventure that emphasizes its heartfelt story over intense gameplay.

    It is a story about a good hearted but doormat young intern that begin working in a big corporation ... and has to cope with modern social and workspace problems: expectations, pressure on people to always be accommodating, pay your dues, abusive bosses, exploitative coworkers, excessive p.c., and so on.
    It's story and humor can really help self-advocacy and promote helping those around you, it's deep, realistic and meaningful without being heavy or naive.
    I like it and I can relate on some aspect of his story.
    It is more like an interactive movie than a real videogame, there are few things to do, but it worth it.
    Give it a try, if you are or if you have been an intern at some point of your life.
    It made you rethink some working and social habits.    … Full Review »

The ending is kind of philosophical but still quite cliché. For the rest, the game is kind of a mixture between a rail shooter and a story with "choices" to make. It was funny the first 5 minutes but the lack of depth becomes quickly boring.… Full Review »
