The platforming mechanics made me feel like an idiot and a genius, great game

An emotional game about art and history. I'm glad to have played it.

Pizza Tower should have won the indie game awards

The intro had me interested: I thought this game would be more puzzle-like, using your skills to fulfil client needs while balancing time, cost and legality to avoid losing your salary, or being fired. In the end, none of it really mattered. You don't have many character motives apart from "charitable" or "business" and your hard work neither tires you or earns anything of worth to your character. The NPCs and ROs range from unremarkable to straight up annoying. Whatever path you end up following feels rather the same and the rather short epilogue only further makes the whole story feel bland and unearned.

I often enjoy Choice's Game, have bought many of the games and appreciate that different authors and stories will vary in style and gameplay. I look forward to every new story and rarely mind paying the price for them. For me to feel like this game isn't even worth the time or money spent is a great disappointment.

Great writing, good amount of choices for character building and I'd need multiple playthroughs to see what different decisions I could've made, actually makes you feel like you're struggling against the threats presented. Could not stop reading, start to finish. Very excited for Part 3.

For what it is, this game has a very interesting story and concept. The problem is, is that it takes a long while to unravel it. Within an hour, I discovered all 5 (plus Failed) Homunculi, got them to level 10 in 2 weeks... and killed them without thought. This is the case about the third or fourth sacrifice. Each one having the exact same mannerisms and dialogue as the last one every time (such as angry Mud homunculi, etc) didn't really show them as individuals, although they had emotions. Not to mention the most interactivity you had with them is plicate them with toys and snacks while before they toil to get gold for you and complain about their unwanted existance. Naming each one was a nice touch however.

I don't mind the monotomous gameplay, although the auto-selecting jobs does help a lot, and the monotony helps to add the feeling of the father mercilessly sacrificing the homunculi. It just feels... like the story is being dragged along to the amount of story compared to the gameplay and grinding.

Overall, this game is pretty bare in terms of gameplay and impact. I found it hard to believe this was a full game, considering the lack of content. But for its thought-provoking story and cheap price, I can't complain. I only recomend this game to those who don't mind repetitive gameplay or those who get emotionally attached easily.

This style which worked for Subsurface Circular does not work for this game. Not only does the switching characters is jarring when playing, having the answers you worked for to be put aside as others readily put in more useful information as you do so is unappealing. It feels like I'm watching a movie, rather than playing a text adventure game. I cannot recommend this game. Reading a brief summary would give you as much impact and involvement as this game does.

Played the game twice, saw everything it had to offer in half an hour. Not worth the money.

I got this game yesterday, this being my first card-based game I ever played. Can't stop playing and I bet I won't stop playing for a long while. Tell my family I love them.
