The story is interesting to read “Hymer 2000” clear review.

I cleared the interactive mystery game “Hymer 2000”, so I wrote my impressions without spoilers.

What kind of game?

When you start it, you will see a retro computer screen. It seems that he is on a mission to recover a computer called Hymer 2000.

Click on the action icon to open a window where you can move around the map.

When you select an object on the map, a fragment of memory called a “portrait” is retrieved.

As you collect the portrait, you will gradually understand the story.

Searching for words in portraits will dig up log data of the characters’ conversations, which will also provide hints to connect the story.

There are also situations where you enter commands into the computer. It’s like an old computer game.

By collecting portraits and finding search words, the movement area is also opened, and the flow is to get to the core of the story.

The operation is a little peculiar, but you get used to it quickly. It is a game that starts without much understanding and has a charm that will draw you in before you know it.

Let the system read

There are more and more games like this game that connect fragments of the story. “Type Help“, which was talked about a while ago, was also very unique, but if the system is interesting, you can read the story here and there (because you can’t clear it without reading it).

What was disappointing was that some search terms did not allow for misalignment, and the difficulty level increased rapidly when aiming for completion. I looked at the strategy with an idea.

If you like retro or science fiction

I was interested in the retro screen and tried to play it, but the story was interesting and fun. It can be cleared in 3-4 hours, and it is reasonably priced, so if you are interested, please go ahead.
