    Gnosia’s both an impostor game and a visual novel, and the mix results in something else entirely new. Whether you enjoy new forms of storytelling or just want the friendly deception without the social anxiety, it’s well worth experiencing.

    Gnosia doesn’t quite replicate the experience of playing with real people, but it’s not really trying to. Instead, the game uses the framework of social titles like Among Us as a frame for its sci-fi horror story. After about 20 loops, I was hooked and pushing forward through the same routine like a detective in search of any clue I could find. And if I fail? Well, there are plenty of more chances to try again.

    I admittedly had fun but it does kinda overstay it's welcome once you do enough runs. After a while I feel it's repetitive nature and lack of control. Seeing the same dialog over and over again gets a bit old too.

    It sorta comes down to a build up if stats and trying to zoom through runs to get Exp. Doesn't have a very satisfying loop though to make this enjoyable.

    Still glad I tried this out. Probably wouldn't realistically recommend this to a friend though because of how niche it is and the feeling that it's simplicity sorta shows through after a few hours.    … Full Review »
