Aug 19, 2022We Are OFK is a wonderfully queer and wonderfully representative experience, even if it’s not exactly what most people would consider “a game”. Like anything of this nature, so much of what you get out of it comes from what you put into it. It’s an experience shaped by who you are, and the life you’ve lived. It won’t be for everybody, but it certainly was for me. There’s a lot of things that could be changed or improved, but even if I had the chance to do so, I don’t think I’d change a single thing about it.

Aug 17, 2022The We Are OFK team packs a story capable of catalyzing players' empathy and making them reflect on contemporary anxieties, our permanent connection to technological devices, and the need to open our hearts and find understanding from others.

Nov 3, 2022It's almost impossible that We Are OFK will be played with indifference. You'll either love it or hate it, be it because of the style, the story, the gameplay, or the beats. This means the game is worth experiencing, and I can assure you the experience is unique and will also introduce you to a new indie band.

Aug 17, 2022Overall, We Are OFK is a well written story of people trying to turn their creative endeavors into a job that pays the bills, and all the problems that come along with that goal. Other than those relatively minor problems, I found my time with OFK to be quite enjoyable, and if you have an interest in music or just want to hang out with a bunch of creatives for a few hours, this game is very much worth your time.

Aug 17, 2022We Are OFK is an intriguing visual novel, which in its best moments knows how to suck the player into the emotional vortex of the story, while following the birth of a group that is virtual, but strangely realistic.

Aug 29, 2022Overall, We Are OFK is a terrific interactive experience that isn’t for everyone. I would have liked a little more control over the gameplay, but it provided me with a few hours of fun and the soundtrack is incredible.

Aug 19, 2022As an interactive series of episodes you can watch, I don’t regret the time I spent here, and will definitely grab the soundtrack when it releases, but We Are OFK could’ve been more. Hopefully the team does release something else based on these characters in the future.

Mar 28, 2023The dialogues and characters are fun, and the visual environment displays great quality and an art style that stands out for the best reasons. Its interactivity is nearly non-existent, though, and the few occasions where the player can make choices they amount to no consequence on the plot development whatsoever.

Aug 17, 2022We Are OFK is sort of a visual novel that presents itself like you’re watching Netflix. The story is good, the voice acting is great, the characters are excellently flawed, and the cast is effortlessly varied. However, performance issues, tacked-on gameplay elements, and the weirdly indifferent emptiness I was left with at the end made it struggle on a fundamental level.

Aug 17, 2022Because that’s the real message at the game’s conclusion. Life blows up sometimes, especially if you’re trying to make a living as a creative. Art is extremely volatile under capitalism. But through support systems that uplift us, whether that’s pushing us to do better or joining our indie pop band, we come to find out that we are o-fucking-kay.
