Poor character progression in comparison to previous games. Barely any horror. Choices hardly matter. Short chapters. Lackluster ending. Worst in the series. Try the other games though, they are masterpieces.. I was struggling deciding whether to give an upvote or a downvote to this game.I simply loved the previous two games to death, and I wanted to love this game too. On a pure technical level, this game is the best one out of the trilogy. But technical stuff isn't what this game series was about.Compared to The Cat Lady and the masterpiece that is Downfall this game just falls short on so many levels. I felt like this game lacks the special something, like the character development of The Cat Lady, or the descent into madness in Downfall. I guess this game was supposed the be about Lorelai overcoming her fear, but at no time in this story have I felt, that Lorelai was actually held back by fear, or have faced fear myself.The previous games discussed very serious topics like depression, bulimia and suicide. This game actually has a serious topic, domestic violence but only for the first couple minutes. After the beginning, this theme is completely dropped and plays absolutely no role in the rest of the game.This game might be considered decent on it's own terms, but as the end of a trilogy, I have to compare it to The Cat Lady and Downfall. Compared to these it's simply not as good. Which is a real shame, because I was really looking forward to another experience like them.To make it short: Where The Cat Lady and Downfall made me feel uncomfortable and had me thinking about their topics for days to come, this game just leaves me saying "that's it?". I'm a huge fan of Rem Mischalski's previous two games, The Cat Lady and Downfall. TCL Is one of my all time favorite horror games, with such incredibly strong writing and a superb mix of true, gritty horror, supernatural elements, and genuinely strong emotion. Downfall is just straight out balls to the wall horror and while I don't enjoy it as much as TCL, it's still a truly disturbing and great game in its own right. So yes, I was hyped for Lorelai. Speaking honestly, it was most likely my most anticipated game of 2019. As a stand alone title, as a supernatural dark drama, it works extremely well.As a conclusion to the Devil Came Through Here trilogy, it's a mixed bag.Let's talk about the former first.Lorelai is a young woman whose home life is less than ideal. Her mom is unemployed and her step father is a drunk, and horribly abusive, verbally, physically, and it's implied sexually toward Lorelai's mother. She loves her mother but hates her at the same time. But she cares deeply for her half sister Bethany who is just an infant. Lorelai yearns to move out with her half sister, and maybe her neighbor Zach. And she takes that first step when she gets a job at a nursing home. But one night she comes home and when John arrives shortly after, things get bad. And worse. And worse. And soon Lorelai finds herself in another realm where a being known as the Queen of Maggots offers to help her get rid of John. The main plot of this is very strong, with well developed characters you become attached to. As it goes on, there are plenty of great moments and absolutely gorgeous visuals. Much like the other two games, Rem Mischalski has shown that he has a real eye for crafting visually arresting scenes that really stick with you. I will say there are certain elements that I wanted more development from, mainly how long John has been in Lorelai's life and how chummy her and Zach have been. While we get some exposition through dialogue about both of these things, I think some full flashbacks could have gone a long way towards further developing these central aspects. Still, what's here is very well done and there are some truly touching and hideous moments throughout.Now let's talk about this game in relation to the rest of the series. There's quite a bit in this game tying back to series lore, mainly with the Queen of Maggots, an omnipresent figure throughout the series. While the mythology has always been somewhat vague, here we see even more of the Queen and her motivations, and we also learn that her as we know her is not her true form. Whether or not the true form we see is literal or not is left up the player, because the specific details we see feel intimately related to Lorelai as a character rather than the series as a whole, and how Lorelai connects with Susan Ashworth and Joe Davis and why the Queen singles her out is somewhat frustratingly vague (speaking of, there are in fact some lovely cameos, one more prominent than the other- but that's all they are, which to me feels like a missed opportunity to really tie the trilogy together). And while Lorelai's personal journey is very satisfying, this doesn't necessarily feel like the end to the greater story at play, which is the Queen of Maggots interfering with mortal lives. Like I said, the way the conflict with her gets resolved feels rather vague and ambiguous. I don't know how well it works on that level, I'm sad to say, and I think that comes from the fact that it feels largely separate from the other two games. Cat Lady established the world and the mythology. Downfall was a parallel story that ended with an opportunity to explore the fate of Susan and Joe even further in this game by using Lorelai's tale to relate back to them. But that's not what we have. Like was stated earlier, this could theoretically work entirely well for someone who hasn't played the other two games simply because the events are so disconnected from everything that's come before. I really wanted to see the connection between these three scarred characters come to a head in this game.Here's the thing: even though it isn't necessarily satisfying ending to the overall series story, you should still play it if you liked the first two games or if you like storytelling in your video games. Because at the end of the day, Rem Mischalski is an exceptional storyteller with a strong understanding of human emotion and our species ability to overcome hardship. And that's as present as ever here. Even though it won't scare you like the first two games(it really is more of a drama with a few horrific moments of violence sprinkled throughout as opposed to the full on horror of the first two) and may not truly feel like the ending to a trilogy, it is still a wonderful character piece, and an exemplary showcase of how strong video game storytelling can be.Plus, you get a wonderful scene where an indie game developer talks about games he's made. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard when playing a game.. Like the previous games in this trilogy, The Cat Lady and Downfall, Lorelai has interesting and beautiful worlds to explore. The gameplay was fun, and I enjoyed the dreamlike logic of solving puzzles. Where the previous games had issues with audio quality, Lorelai sounds great. I wasn't a fan of all the effects of Unity used, or the constant close-up zooms of low resolution graphics, but mostly Lorelai manages to look great.However, the writing is severely lacking. While the supporting cast and the slice-of-life sections were lovely, the major plot feels almost offensively bad. As someone who waited for the game and really wanted to love it I'm very sad to say the story itself is good enough reason not to play this game. Even if you liked the previous games, like I did, you will not find anything remotely emotional at the end of this story.. R. Michalski\u2019s Lorelai is an emotional horror that tells a coming of age story of a young girl trying to escape her toxic family. In Lorelai, we play a heroine who has everything she loves stripped away from her in the most brutal manner. However, she does not intend to give up trying to reclaim what she lost. Instead, Lorelai goes to the afterlife and beyond to save those she loves.In Lorelai, our heroine must overcome a cycle of violence. John is her stepfather. He is an expat who, ever since the factory he worked at was shut down, became an abusive and perverted alcoholic. He punches Lorelai\u2019s mother, wrangles their small child, and sexually harasses Lorelai. These depictions are extremely graphic, often including a lot of gore. The handmade, two-dimensional graphics are hyper realistic and grotesque, which makes this high level of brutality seem more personal.Poverty, war, and drug abuse are the main cause for the graphic domestic abuse, depression, and suicide present in Lorelai. John is an unemployed, alcoholic veteran. Al, an alcoholic chef, struggles to make ends. As a ghost, Lorelai has the option to save or condemn Al to a life of misery. If we choose to aid Al, he\u2019ll go to AA. There, he\u2019ll share that he started drinking because of how bad \u2018chef\u2019s wages\u2019 were, and that his drinking spiraled until he hit his wife, causing her to have a miscarriage.We observe the action in Lorelai from a side camera perspective. Even though the game is a 2D scroller, the art itself remains astounding. It achieves this by mixes together hand-drawn sprites with some 3D backdrops. Scenes can contain multiple textures and saturated colors. [1][2] In contrast, they can also feature a gory expos\u00e9 juxtaposed with striking matte blacks and whites. [3] The camera also serves to carry a heavy symbol. There is interplay between certain camera angles and Lorelai\u2019s emotional state.Travel through various locations, solving riddles, avoiding enemies, and talk to friendly NPCs as the plot of Lorelai unfolds in a non-linear fashion. The choices we make determine our Karma and which one of three different endings we will achieve. However, regardless of the ending, in Lorelai\u2019s own words \u201cThis time the princess is the one who saves the hero.\u201d-----------------------------------[1] Who am I?[2] Rock, Saturation, and Water [3] Beheaded. I've played it twice over so far. Once by myself, another with a friend beside me.Ignore the negative reviews. This isn't Fortnite. This is an atmospheric, story driven psychological horror. Play The Cat Lady, then Downfall, and then top it off with this beautiful finale.-Soundtrack is absolutely amazing.-Voice acting is quite great.-Pacing feels perfect. There's never a drag or a dull moment.-There's so much attention to detail in the background and foreground. i.e. subtle symbolism.-Choices do matter and will change certain things.-Clearly a work of passion.-VERY reasonably priced for what it delivers compared to most AAA trash that costs $60 + day 1 DLC. This game, for all its faults, is also a buggy nightmare. I've experienced 2 misspellings in the subtitles that somewhat broke immersion, but at the end of the day, were forgivable. But then there were the bugs, and I can understand that this game is crazy early in its release and the devs are updating it almost daily, but some of them completely broke the immersion it tried so hard to build. One example was Lorelai walking backwards Michael Jackson moonwalk style through a god damn bench.Another one straight up crashed the game at a very cinematic and suspenseful moment. I don't need to harp on the story, when the game breaks and stops telling the story.Overall, I've experienced about 7 truly immersion breaking bugs in this game.So let's talk about the story...[SPOILERS AHEAD] The video game references were just off the mark. The first was cute, the second, a slight giggle. The third, an eye-roll. And the fourth, please stop. It became immersion ruining after a time and made me want to play Skyrim instead.The chapter transitions really hurt the game as well. I wanted to believe that death, as a main storytelling device, would mean more than just eating stew and coming back to life. Death started to feel inconsequential especially because at the end of the game, you literally die, walk down a staircase, eat the stew, and come back to life 2 minutes later. There was no punishment, there was no moral choice that was truly moral. Also, none of the choices mean ANYTHING except for the latter portion of them. I attempted a "renegade run" where I just stayed a complete \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 of a Lorelai the entire game and it awards the... "Regular"... Ending. I didn't lose karma by sassing everyone in every interaction and tried to be on the Queen of Maggot's side the ENTIRE game. It doesn't matter, you still kill her because Jimmy the Sleepwalker told me to. Lorelai does not have a sense of self, and makes no decisions except for the last two.The antagonist in this game was inconsistent and overall, weak. John (the Stepfather) had all the cards in hand to be a compelling antagonist. He starts off by realizing how much he \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ed up in killing you. But then, he goes on to kill four people and a \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing baby. He doesn't regret anything, and he's not afraid of you after coming back from the dead. Also how could his alcoholic, garbled speech, piece of garbage self, pull off the SERIAL HOMICIDE of 5 people and cover it up as well. HOW THE \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 DID HE GET 6 BODIES OUT OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX AND NOBODY NOTICED?? He was drunk as \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665!Anyway, I loved The Cat Lady, and I'll keep up with these devs, but honestly, you could not play this game and miss nothing in the trilogy.. In short: The voice acting was good, music was decent and the gritty 2D graphics looked just in tune with the previous titles and the mood it tried to establish, but the rest felt below average.Personally, my biggest issues was the lackluster story and uninspiring puzzle designs which felt too simple to solve due to the overall lack of interactions within the world. One would hardly care about the characters and their development (if there was any). The strange mix of using 3D with the main 2D world (which we all loved about the previous titles) threw me out of immersion, felt out of place and did not flatter the game in most places and looked very cheap. The camera would rotate or zoom in\/out of objects during cut-scenes in the most unflattering way. Pulsating lights for seemingly no reason. Some icons representing the actions you have to press on your keyboard\/mouse\/controller (e.g. during "fight scenes") looked like placeholders and rather out of place.You can feel that the developer(s) have put their heart into this title once again, but unfortunately it did not hold up to what it could have been. I would have loved to love this game just as much as I fell in love with The Cat Lady, but overall it felt too rough around the edges.. compared to cat lady or even downfall it's quite a bad game. not worth the money or time spent. though beginning was actually cool and promising. and damn that awfully bad songs that you just can't skip.
