#32Brilliant - no notes.
Makes me wish for more unconventional film-game adaptations.

#33Great game. Playing it for five minutes saved me from watching the movie.

#34Based on a recent "black comedy" movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11813216/ Which is one of the weirdest and heaviest hitting films I've seen recently, and while there is some comedy, it is not a funny movie.
It was hilarious. My theater laughed out loud multiple times. Did you watch it on streaming?
Re: Banshees of Inisherin: The Game
#35"Banshees" was an interesting but puzzling film. I enjoyed it but I didn't think it was quite as approachable as McDonaghs other films. I suppose it's supposed to be an allegory to the futility of the Irish Civil War? If we the audience can't make a connection to something like that it feels a bit too abstract. I didn't make it far into the game, but it is a neat project.
I’ve seen a lot of people connecting it to the Irish Civil War, but I think there’s a lot in there about the inherent selfishness/social-push-pull of creation (of art, specifically).
I don't think there's any allegory at all. The Civil War is a bleak backdrop, a reminder of brotherhood turned to hatred and the impending threat of death and so forth, but it's not much more than that. It's connected to the story by aesthetics and by mood rather than by plot or by meaning.

It was funny.

#37I found it incredibly hard to turn when I wanted to. Not sure if it is key detection or if I needed to have more precise timing.
Have to second this - a fantastic idea unfortunately marred by very poor control responsiveness.
Sibling comments are correct, on review, that it seems you can work around it by holding down in advance.
Unfortunately by the time I verified that I had run out of time since I spent most of what I had trying to make it work on my own before returning to the thread to offer this feedback.
Personally, I think the idea is good enough that I will try to return on desktop later when I have time… but for the devs - if you read this - you could really enable a lot more people to get a lot further in this presumably great creative experience if you made the controls respond better on mobile.

Agreed. Seems to really depend on the person. It came highly recommended to me by a family member, describing it as good and funny.
I found it absolutely not funny, very strange, and didn't like any of it one bit. Shame, because I really like most of what both leads do.

Haven't seen it, but I absolutely love colin farrell in everything. In Bruges, 7 Psychopaths, The Other Guys (?)
He has that hangdog, depressed and confused thing going on that's so charming.

#40All in all, a pretty good digital adaptation. The movie was shear joy to watch.
