тупая игра ничо не понял, но крута

only we would remember the lie we told that day
it is an absolutely beautifully composed small yet impactful game. the art style is distinct and pleasing, the audio is fitting, and the intrigue I initially failed to process in my first playthrough being a hazy drunkard I am, and on the second route the Noise ending, it all came together and it left me sitting upright in chair in a dark cold room reflecting.
I wish tomorrow wouldn't come for me
不明白
I`m in love with it!! Обожнюю вас, авторко! Ви робите найкращі візуальні новелли, кожна з яких займає найвищі місцях у топах за улюбленний сюжет та у топах ігор загалом.
game keeps crashing after going thru the three circle/triangle doors. I saw some people have had the same issue on the forum since years ago as well. I've tried everything I could find in the internet as potential fixes but it still crashes.
-Ran the game in admin
-Ran the game without steam
-Ran the game in compatibility mode
-Ran in window mode
-Locked the game to 60fps
-High performance mode(force to use gpu)
I also played this since months ago but encountered this bug and gave up.
Now I redownloaded the game to try to finish it, hoping it maybe got fixed but still same thing.
It's a shame cus I really liked the game before being met with this bug.
이해하기 어렵긴한데 해석 보면서 하면 재밌어요.
典完了的反乌托邦叙事，换一套通俗的符号锚点其实就不难理解作品中像说梦话一样零碎又晦涩的线索描述的就是当代真实社会生态，两个主角所各自代表怎样的立场也很明确。再者关于姐姐的去向究竟是救赎还是自我毁灭，我觉得都能有一个浪漫的解读
基本没啥剧情，没有hc系列那么扭曲狂气，和文本对不上电波的观众可能就懵逼地看了两个小时讲谜语
体量很小，所以哪怕看不懂在说什么也没啥。单享受eth老师作品的美学风格营造的氛围，当个意识流小寓言看看也挺不错的
算上情怀分从拉到夯给到人上人
[spoiler]真结局死活打不出来偷懒去看了实况啊嗯 [/spoiler]
peak, quem fez review falando que esse jogo é só "nosense slop" provavelmente é iletrado e não sabe interpretar narrativa
I really like the style, the ideas and the general aesthetic etherane's games have to offer and this game is no different. My problem with this game is mostly its shortness and its not a question about the pricing in that regard. Its more about the fact that there are a lot of ideas and concepts injected in this game that really appeal to me like mr rainers solve it service did. The biggest problem though is, again, the shortness of the game, its just not enough time to explore, explain and get into the mechanics and general vibe of the story. The game is roughly around an hour long, and the game tries to cram lots of concepts, worldbuilding and story into it, which it doesnt do that badly regarding the timeframe, mind you, but it just lacks general comprehension for a more laid back player and once you get into it and start to care about the story-its already over. It also sometimes just feels like it is a bit more angsty just to be angsty and to be more incomprehensble so the player themselves must do the work of piecing the story together but not THROUGH or WITHIN the game but outside of it. I can see this game being a gold-mine for a video-essayist or a story-teller, but not for a more casual player that wants to experience a compelling indie story after a whole day of work and doesnt have much time to pierce the whole story together the next following days and weeks due to time. Thing is though, I am usually a person that likes to do these things, but because of the immense shortness and lack of more interesting places/gameplay, more fleshed out characters (though the game does a very good job telling a story in a minimal time frame) i just dont feel the desire to do so and it kind of made me sad because the world just seems so mystic and interestin! Lastly the gameplay is nothing to write home about, but that is to be expected of a game from this genre so im not putting that against it. I see the appeal of the game and im sure there will be people thatll enjoy it tons, its just not fleshed out enough for me.
tomorrow wont come for those without labubus
прошла на обе концовки за чуть меньше, чем два часа. не жалею о потраченных деньгах, да и стоит она копейки. история интересная, головоломки не сложные, а потраченное время стоит того
tomorrow won't come for those without ██████, developed and published by etherane, is a compact but deeply layered narrative experience that blends visual novel storytelling with light puzzle mechanics and heavy thematic symbolism. True to etherane’s signature style, the game embraces ambiguity, surrealism, and philosophical undertones, offering players a short yet thought-provoking journey through a world shaped by fractured belief systems and quiet existential dread. Though modest in scope and runtime, it leaves a lasting impression through its writing, atmosphere, and deliberate refusal to explain itself outright.
The story places players in the role of Ori, a somewhat forgetful chorister staying at an unusual hotel in a world where organized religion has seemingly dissolved or transformed into something more abstract and institutionalized. There, Ori interacts primarily with Rem, a reserved and skeptical companion whose personality contrasts sharply with Ori’s quiet introspection. Much of the narrative unfolds through dialogue exchanges that oscillate between mundane observations and cryptic philosophical reflections. Conversations often feel layered, with surface-level banter masking deeper anxieties about faith, memory, and the structures that govern society.
Gameplay is minimalist by design. Players navigate small 2D environments, interact with objects, and progress through “lessons” that function as puzzle sequences. These puzzles are rarely mechanical in the traditional sense; instead, they revolve around paying close attention to dialogue, environmental hints, and thematic cues. There are no combat systems, no expansive inventories, and no complex branching trees in the conventional RPG sense. Instead, progression is tied to understanding the world’s logic and responding thoughtfully to its abstract prompts. The simplicity of the mechanics ensures that the narrative remains central, but it also demands patience and careful reading.
Visually, the game employs stylized pixel art with subdued palettes and sparse detailing. The environments are compact yet evocative, often feeling slightly off-kilter in their symmetry or composition. The hotel setting, in particular, functions as a metaphorical space rather than just a location, representing isolation and quiet observation. Lighting and color shifts subtly reflect mood changes, and certain surreal elements punctuate otherwise grounded scenes, reinforcing the psychological tone. Rather than striving for visual spectacle, the game leans into atmosphere and implication.
Sound design complements the restrained aesthetic. Ambient tones and minimalistic background music create a contemplative environment that supports the dialogue-heavy structure. Silence is used intentionally, allowing moments of reflection to linger. Because there is little voice acting, players must rely on textual nuance and pacing to absorb character emotion, which strengthens immersion for those willing to engage deeply with the writing.
Thematically, tomorrow won’t come for those without ██████ explores faith, identity, and societal conformity through allegory. The censored word in the title itself becomes a conceptual anchor—an absence that invites interpretation. Throughout the experience, players are encouraged to question what is missing, what is believed, and what is constructed. The narrative resists providing concrete answers, instead offering multiple endings that hinge on subtle choices and puzzle solutions. Achieving the alternate ending often requires careful re-examination of earlier segments, reinforcing the game’s emphasis on reflection and reinterpretation.
Its brevity is both a strength and a limitation. The entire experience can be completed in under an hour, making it feel closer to an interactive short story than a traditional game. For some players, this conciseness enhances its impact, ensuring that every scene feels purposeful. For others, the abstract pacing and limited interactivity may feel restrictive. Replay value primarily stems from uncovering alternate outcomes and reinterpreting earlier events in light of newly understood symbolism.
Ultimately, tomorrow won’t come for those without ██████ stands as a quietly ambitious indie project that prioritizes thematic depth over mechanical complexity. It rewards attentive players who appreciate metaphor, layered writing, and emotional subtlety. While it may not appeal to those seeking action-driven gameplay or explicit storytelling, it offers a memorable and introspective experience that lingers beyond its short runtime. In its compact form, it demonstrates how minimal mechanics and strong narrative vision can combine to create a haunting and contemplative interactive work.
Rating: 9/10
It's so...♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...PEEEAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!
This game, although it may not seem so at first, has one of the most mindblowing stories I've played in an RPGMaker game in recent memory. Not exactly mindblowing in the fact that it will make you question everything you knew and change your beliefs, but it's a story that makes you think about it to understand it, it makes you care about and get invested in the characters it presents, and most of all it leaves you wanting to learn more. And when you do eventually learn more, when the puzzle pieces all come together, it's amazing. It's emotional. It's a story I don't think I'll ever forget. Play this game now, I'm trying so hard not to spoil anything.
Also, the art is amazing.
