40 of 40 · most liked firstIn A Perfect Day, a game about childhood in mainland China, you go to an Internet Café that also rents consoles per hour - the thing I keep saying was extremely popular in the global south. AFAIK English doesn't have a word for those, it's just "arcade", so English-speakers tend to overlook them...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game and hate it at the same time. Nutshell: DO play it if you are very interested in a deep, rewarding, and creative story about life as a kid in 1999 China. DON'T play it if you get easily frustrated by a slow UI, don't like re-tracing your own steps and observing details, or aren't willing to follow a walkthrough step-by-step. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND getting the Kang Motor and the Yo-yo as fast as possible, because the game can be extremely burdensome otherwise. Even if you like…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Perfect Day presents a bittersweet story, you will revisit the 90s and play an elementary schoolboy who lacks the courage to give a card to his favorite classmate. In the endless loop of the last day of 1999, you find out the secrets of your classmates. ground to reality and in a position to create some truly heart-warming feelings. Unfortunately, many of the secondary characters are devoid of any personality while also some quality of life shortcomings, relating to the simplistic gameplay,…

I don't care if it's a child friendly rollercoaster tycoon. I love the music, the flash games, the presentation, the characters, all of it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →佛像的背面：彩蛋诚意满满，探索型玩家的王国 巴图玩家模型通过研究玩家需求，将玩家分为四种类型：Achiever (成就型玩家)、Explorer (探索型玩家)、Socialiser (社交型玩家)、Killer (杀手型玩家)，后两者不适用于视觉小说形游戏，故不做阐述。 成就型玩家意图达成游戏里的目标，也就是推进主线，通关，做成就。探索地图只是为了得到新资源或者任务需求，交互则是为了积攒经验。 探索型玩家追求发现新事物的喜悦，游戏玩法只是他们探索的工具。他们的目的不是驾驭游戏，而是体验游戏的所有内容。他们会探索游戏世界的每一个角落，尝试用不同的交互行为去理解游戏世界，尝试游戏的各种系统，研究游戏系统内部的机制。 我是一个百分之百的探索型玩家，喜欢在推进主线之前做完所有支线，看完所有剧情的那种。我觉得《完美的一天》非常适合像我这样的玩家，因为它充斥着大量的彩蛋、隐藏剧情、逐层探索和自定义交互的可能性。…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As somebody born in the new millennium, this game still reaches the deepest places of my heart even if it might be a bit far away from my life. Amazing so far (after 1 hour and 2 days), the art style is quite unique and the visual novel style really brings out the atmosphere. A bit expensive. 作为一个零零后，这个游戏讲述的故事虽然有些陌生，但还是能触及我心中最深的地方。目前来说非常好 (玩了 1 个小时和 2 天)，美术风格非常独特，而visual novel的形式也很能营造氛围。有点小贵。
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →非常有意思的设定，但是有一些重复的游戏流程的跳过希望能够更加优化一下，这无疑是一部优秀的国产游戏，要是有配音就更加完美，也很感谢官能实时关注玩家的反馈，你们辛苦了！！大不六人加油！！
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →全结局通关，非常好玩。 所以谁能告诉我1：早上学校为什么放假 2： 去哪里找到证据证明杨帆喜欢柯云？？？ 百思不得其解
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really good game and innovative gameplay, the content is fun yet quite philosophical too Only thing is that the story plot is quite specific to a generation so you need some knowledge of 90s China to enjoy the game fully, but I wouldn't say it's so important given that the game gives really good details of its background anyways Overall 10/10. Easily one of my favorites
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →玩的时候小时候的人和事在脑中走马灯，随着故事推进，自己也逐渐拼出自己童年的部分记忆碎片。同年并不美好，但很想回到那时候，和那时候的父母辈好好谈谈，说声谢谢时，也告诉他们很多事其实没必要那么较真。
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →首先如果你不是那个年代的人或者对那个年代的一些东西没兴趣比较难产生共鸣。游戏属于怀旧类型的游戏，美工很棒，剧情的话觉得一般般。还算比较耐玩。 但是这个游戏又几个地方让我感到比较糟心，首先感觉主角非常的窝囊，非常的怂，跟他爹一起吃面时聊天居然需要勇气，我小时候也没这样而且本人真的非常讨厌懦弱的人。 再来就是故事线的问题，我明白这个游戏是需要多周目来完成各个故事线的，一开始探索也的确很有意思，但是要完成各个故事线你需要从很多不相及的地点搞道具，这个流程就非常的繁琐，有些故事线用到的道具可能要需要好几天收集来的东西这个设定真的是第一次让我在一个解谜类型游戏里感觉到肝。 一般来说一款游戏的时常和玩法之间需要有比较好的平衡如果玩法很单一时长却很长的话会让游戏玩起来觉得非常无聊。这个游戏从头到尾也就少一种玩法，就是多周目收集道具过故事线，所以我觉得物品什么的太过于分散了。 再来就是无法跳过一些事件，中午吃面晚上吃饺子只能部分跳过如果可以直接跳过整个时间段的话会比较好，因为这两个事件重复率真的非常的高，而且也不是每次都能获得新的线索 其实我很纠结应该给好评还是差评，姑且先给个好评吧。

Leider bin ich vollkommen überfordert mit dem Gameplay Element der Nervosität des Hauptcharakters und diese zu regulieren . Auf jeden Fall schöner Grafik-Stil aber für mich jetzt auch nicht unbedingt die mitreißenste VN die ich gelesen habe. _____________________________________________________________________ The game shines with a great art style and some decision options.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →如果我们每一天做出的每一个决定都可以推倒重来。 第一次知道这款游戏是在某UP主的试玩视频里。90年代教科书插图式的画风，手写款的宋体字，一下子把我带回那朗朗读书声的课堂里。盼了半年多，终于等到了成品发售。与其说这是一款游戏，不如说是游戏开发者绘制的一幅写实的浮世绘。…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →很不错的国产游戏！虽然我是00后，但是游戏里的一些东西也能唤起我回忆，比如故事会、台式电脑、唐僧肉...... 总体说一下感受： 游戏剧情不错 （隐藏文字为剧透） 目前把主都打通关了，最后和老葛去看到每个人“完美的一天”感觉很欣慰、震撼，但是感觉大家“完美的一天”美好的不太真实。最后飞船爆炸在天空中绽放 ，这也和每次晚上看到的“烟花”呼应上；每条主线的剧情也不错，基本都是前一天专门拿物品，第二天打一条主线。 游戏操作可以接受 一开始几天觉得有些冗长，尤其是一重复性的对话和剧情，比如吃晚饭、晚上去公园，但是中期捋清了基本剧情+获得跳过时间的神奇溜溜球，加上开16倍速，感觉还可以。 一些可以改进的地方 1. 每次安排卡片时间的时候想看一下地图，必须要手动把拖拽上去才能看完整地图，如果点击“地图”后整个书本可以自动上移就好了。 2.在快餐厅吃饭，结束后安排新的时间时，背景画面中老白和一个陌生男人坐在一起，而不是和妈妈坐在一起，不知道这里是不是bug 3.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →画风非常喜欢，有童年的味道。 剧情不是非常喜欢，但也说不上差。以为是个情怀游戏，结果主打一个超自然。 玩法很单一，很肝。重复的剧情要过一遍又一遍。而且不看攻略的话难度很大。
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shio全成就玩家看到某熟悉的葛姓男子虎躯一震 想到哪写到哪： 人只要活着，就无可避免地要想自己所不愿想、看自己所不愿看。躲进被窝里或许能暂时得到20分钟的清净，但被窝外的一切仍在那里。变革兀自到来，强迫你去接受它。它将你信仰的一切推倒，然后沉默地看着你挣扎的丑态。 正如老葛所说，白敬西投向了虚无主义，他玩味地看着时代巨浪中挣扎的人是如何地徒劳，因为冷漠的世界并不允诺人一个真理，一个必然光明的未来。然而当大伯的歌声从离亭那里传来时，他发现人可以不用管什么沉重的“意义”而自发地感到自由快乐。正如他质问主角、质问屏幕后的玩家时，玩家给出的那句充满了“后现代主义”的回复：真的重要吗？白敬西所坚信的无意义也好，看信与不看信的时机也好，本质上都是给他自己设立了一个最终的、具有普遍权威性的认知框架，而后现代主义质疑这些框架的不可撼动性。…
