Bermuda

I love visual novels quite a bit. So when an visual novels come to Steam, I usually purchase them to support said games. It doesn't help that I this game was made by the same people who did "Unhack," a game which I adore immensely. However, the problem lies in multiple aspects, making it confused as to what the true culprit is which makes this game not pass. Let's break down the elements on the game, starting with the music. This section will be short because, to be frank, the music is pretty forgettable. Normally, with another game, I wouldn't focus to heavily on this but, with a visual novel, there is a lot more riding on the music, It conveys what the game can't so the music needs to convey every emotion just as well as the character's dialogue and voice cast, if there is one. With "Bermuda," the music felt static. It never felt like it was anything special and, once the scene was over, the music vanished both from the game and my memory. Next, let's look at the sto...

Bermuda is a game for 3$ lasts about hour and half. It's really nicely put together game that's fully voiced with somewhat stealth sections in middle of each dialogue. The stealth part can be random at times but really easy. I really enjoy my time with the game and would reccomend it to anyone

The good: -great visual style, very different from the anime theme that 99% of visual novels have -fully voice acted -animations look very polished -each chapter has optional conversations. While these don't drive the story forward, they are of the same quality as the rest of the game and really give you a better feeling of what each character is like. -the stealth sections are actually fun and not too punishing if you mess up. The bad: -voice acting is at points bad when actors don't use the proper emotion or emphasis -during most dialogue scenes, character graphics are static even when events occur they are reacting to with voice -I didn't care much for the story. It was trying to be overly religious without actually doing much with the religious theme. It also seems to skip a few steps. Overall my experience with this is a positive one. Give it a try if you like visual novels.

This game could be much more, I love sci-fi VN, there isn't exactly a lot of them out there, but... It is too short, the "sneaky-beaky" parts are repetetive and, frankly, boring, and the VN part... Well, there isn't any VN. It is basically a simplistic stealth game with in-between cutscenes. You have NO options to alter the plot whatsoever, even failing the stealth puzzles doesn't do anything but restart the puzzle. Even the straightest of VNs that I played offered at least two plot choice moments. And the plot itself... Well, as I said before, this game is incredibly short, thus plot is very rushed and cramped together and, well, filled with cliches. More near the end characters feels more and more acting in certain ways not because they would do so, but because the plot demands it from them. The entire finale make me think of only one thing, "What the hell, what are you doing, this isn't making ANY sense!" If Devs read this, I'm sorry for being so honest) This still have potentia...

Bermuda does something that either enhances visual novels or dooms them: it offers some actual game play. Done right it can add to an already great game but done poorly and it can sink it. The game is broken up in that you get told the story through a kinetic novel format and after that the story has made it necessary for you to navigate the ship without getting caught. This part is a side scrolling stealth game akin to Gunpoint minus the ability to knock people out. You can turn off lights; sound alarms; disable shields; hide in the bathroom; etc. The idea is to try to herd the guards where you want them to get to where you need to go. To add variety some levels have a different goal such as turn off all the lights or lure all of the guards to the first floor. The mechanics are not bad. They can be annoying or frustrating at times but the game gives you all the tools you need it just requires more patience then I sometimes have. The guards on the other hand will never see you, even i...

A very quick VN type game that doesn't overstay it's story's welcome.

Cute and short game. Good story with an heartwrenching ending. The minigames (stealth mini-missions) included in every scene are not bad. Great athmosphere, very good art. The aliens are interesting. There are too many mentions of God/Christ/Church for my own taste (this is several times per scene, and scenes are short; I don't believe in God, but they obviously do, good for them). Considering the small price and the short time it takes to complete the story (about 2 hours?), I'd definitely advise you to play it: If that intrigues you, just see for yourself, I expect you'll like it. This is a good visual novel in my book (or rather a good "visual short story" in that case).

Strangely religious. Mentions God in every one of its acts. It was a fun bit of distraction though. :)

A solidly "meh" experience. Good artwork, decent premise, flat writing, and poorly thought out characters, hampered by a clunky minigame.

A very short VN, but worth paying the full price in my honest opinion. I love InvertMouse games, and Bermuda is no exception. I found the story rather interesting, the art style is good (the only thing that bothered me was the lack of different facial expressions, but that’s a pet peeve of mine)… BGM was really good, it fits the story nicely. I also enjoyed the mini games. But here’s the only flaw on this game: the VA. I’m sorry, but it was awful. Sounded like everyone was just reading the script and that’s it… 5/10. A good quick experience overall! I also think it would be awesome to have a DLC of the soundtrack. =)
