Restless Soul is a like a book of jokes, but you have to walk between each one, interact, and wait slowly while it unfolds on the screen. It gets so old so quickly, but at least the game recognizes that and allows you to fast-forward dialogue. In a game primarily about dialogue. That's how self-aware it is of how bad its jokes are.

The problem is - if you're buying this game for the jokes, it gets old too quickly. But if you're buying it for anything other than the jokes, there's barely one hour of gameplay here, which varies between really poor twin stick shooting and menial puzzles that change from town to town, like mini-Sokoban puzzles, jumping puzzles, or top-down obstacle dodging. The visual style, while charming at first, becomes monotonous around the halfway mark.

I feel I still had a decent hour and a half of game left if I kept playing the way the devs intended - reading every line of dialogue. But I was so tired of the meta-contextual jokes, of the 1st grade humor, and of EVERY LITTLE INTERACTION trying to be funny that I simply held the Run button, skipped all optional dialogue and fast-forwarded all obligatory dialogue, and finished the remainder of the game in 10-15 minutes. And surprisingly, skipping the dialogue made it more bearable.

I can't find any reason why someone would pay to play this. This is like Turnip Boy, but bad.

really chill and relaxing game - has enough elements to keep you entertained.
Also at a great discount.
