딸, 보를 찾아 떠나는 진실을 향한 모험.
2시간만에 엔딩을 볼 수 있는, 플탐이 짧은 게임이다.
단순해 보이는 그래픽 뒤에, 미국식 조크들과 살짝 다크함이 가미된 스토리,
그리고 심지어는 게임 캐릭터들의 대사들이 모두 "풀더빙"이다.
(딸 보의 목소리가 너무 귀엽다.)
퍼즐들이 여러개 있지만, 공략 없이 쉽게 깰 수 있는 난이도라서 부담이 없기 때문에
짧은 킬링타임용 게임을 원한다면 적극 추천! 세일을 할 때도 있으니, 노려보는 것도 좋겠다.

Pinstripe is a beautifully designed indie game with a unique atmosphere and intriguing story. The game follows the journey of ex-minister Teddy, who is searching for his daughter in a mysterious underworld called Purgatory.
The art style of the game is stunning, with hand-drawn graphics and a dark color palette that perfectly captures the eerie and melancholic tone of the story. The music and sound design also add to the game's atmosphere, creating a haunting and immersive experience.
The gameplay is simple yet engaging, featuring puzzle-solving and platforming elements, as well as boss battles. The controls are smooth and responsive, making it easy to navigate through the various levels and challenges.
I spent four hours completing the main game.
Steam Deck Experience
The game runs smoothly without requiring any adjustments to its settings. However, to conserve battery, I lowered my screen refresh rate to 40Hz. I completed the game in a single charge, which lasted around four hours.
In terms of bugs, I only encountered one issue where it was impossible to return to the Main Menu. Selecting the option to return to the main menu would automatically redirect me to the continue option. To close the game, I used the STEAM button (on the left) and forced it to close. While this is not a major issue, it is worth noting.
Tips

Full of memorable quotes.
I thought the voice actor for Dicky must be aussie based on his accent and I was right. The voice actor is Ross O'Donovan AKA RubberNinja/RubberRoss, born in Perth. I am often pretty bad at guessing accents even aussie accents. I often think someone is English based on their accent, but they end up being an Australian putting on an English accent. There's also Pewdiepie and Jacksepticeye.
This game reminds me of Coma. I haven't played the full Coma game on Steam yet but I played a kind of short version back when I was in primary school on some Australian video game website.
I think the font for the introduction credits is really nice.

I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.
