Gnosia

Gnosia might not be a new concept – there are so many video games out there that feature death games with deception at the core of them. Last year’s Quantum Suicide even set the scene in space and had a less-than-benevolent AI pulling many of the strings, just like Gnosia does. But Gnosia is something rare: it is really, truly different. The developers wanted to take this common-enough concept and craft something that was truly their own, and not only have you got here a game that you won’t forget in a hurry, it’s also going to have you actively thinking about just how smart it is for some time to come.

I’ve barely scratched the surface on every last amazing detail in Gnosia, but the truth is, this is a game best experienced and explored by the individual. I would be doing a disservice to everyone by explaining any further; if you thought Among Us needed more storyline, mechanics, and a single-player mode and you enjoy beautiful graphics with a compelling story, you absolutely must pick up Gnosia. The fate of the universe rests on your sleuthing skills, lest you become doomed to repeat history again and again and again and again and again…

Gnosia is a great Game. Releasing in the West, this title invites us to use logic to find the infiltrator in games with loops that last fifteen minutes and that end up telling a well-crafted bigger story with an incredible atmosphere.

By the time I finished Gnosia and reached the true ending, I had played 210 Loops, and I almost felt as though the game was dragging on. Still, I had fun with the numerous escapades I got into when I could play at a more leisurely pace, and the ending sequences made me feel as if the overall experience was worth it. It has been a while since I’ve played such a creative single-player visual novel, and I enjoyed my time experimenting with the various loops and getting to know an endearing cast of characters. This is a title I can easily recommend to gamers who are patient and looking for a solid, unique visual novel experience. Just be sure to start up an entirely new game save once you see the ending credits for the first time and then see what happens. …Trust me, okay? It is worth it!

From its compelling characters and unique gameplay hook to its stunning art style and engaging story, Petit Depotto has created a wholly original sci-fi thriller that's worth enduring a few late-game pacing issues to experience.

Gnosia is a science fiction graphic novel with an entertaining, magical and dangerous story. If you are a master of persuasion and can charm anyone, this game is for you.

Gnosia has a good proposal but its immersion is very shallow due to the limited responses that the characters return, making it difficult to say who lies and who speaks the truth. Maybe if they had voice acting, it could be more interesting.

The werewolf-inspired gameplay using AI combined with the beautiful story, characters and aesthetics defines Gnosia from its contemporaries in an innovative way.

Great for the loners who don't have the friends that can play these Among Us or 'Werewolf' type of games. I admittedly had fun but it does kinda overstay it's welcome once you do enough runs. After a while I feel it's repetitive nature and lack of control. Seeing the same dialog over and over again gets a bit old too. It sorta comes down to a build up if stats and trying to zoom through runs to get Exp. Doesn't have a very satisfying loop though to make this enjoyable. Still glad I tried this out. Probably wouldn't realistically recommend this to a friend though because of how niche it is and the feeling that it's simplicity sorta shows through after a few hours.

I can't say I agree with the rest of the reviewers here. While Gnosia has a pick-up-and-play appeal, the very idea of single-player Werewolf doesn't quite work. I mean it could, but it's a tremendously ambitious undertaking and Gnosia's distinct lack of subtlety and low stock of canned responses keeps it from really shining through. For most people, this game is going to be little more than a novelty that won't keep them engaged because without diving any deeper, it comes off as random. That said, for those who can tolerate its repetitive nature and are patient enough for the drip-feed of the game's narrative and abilities to open up, there is something just under the surface that can get you hooked if you're into it. The narrative and art are fascinating and the abilities make each go-round far more interesting as you begin to pick up on queues to see who is lying and who is not. While this provides a much deeper experience, especially when you start filling out the character profiles and learning what makes them tick, you're still sadly missing a lot of what makes social deduction games fun. The little mind games people play and the personal details they might use to lean on you just aren't here and that's the inherent nature of Werewolf-family games and without that, many will be asking "what's the point?" Overall, it's a fine time-waster and curious players who tug on its threads will be rewarded, but for most players, this is probably something you should pass on or wait to go on sale. It's far too repetitive and narrow in its implementation to give you the correct atmosphere of a social deduction game, but that's to be expected since this is a single-player romp against dialog boxes and pretty character art.

No papel (e também a partir dos reviews) parece interessante, mas achei muito simples, repetitivo e chato, sequer tem uma trilha sonora que ajude a reduzir a repetição do jogo, a meu ver injustificável considerando o relativamente alto preço do jogo. É basicamente um jogo de adivinhar quem está mentindo diversas vezes. O objetivo final do jogo é ir coletando informação dos demais personagens até conseguir chegar ao final da história, mas mesmo essa evolução da história vai sendo entregue muito aos poucos pelo que pesquisei. Sequer me arrisquei a terminar o "tutorial", que em vez de ser didático como se esperaria é basicamente já te jogar no meio do jogo, fazendo 16 loops que te colocam em diferentes situações que poderão acontecer ao longo do jogo.

very boring gameplay. i really dislike this game. all the content here is not good
