In Search of a Cure! A "But You Seem Fine" Game Review

Hey there, folks! Back again with me, the sole writer of this blog. As of today, I'm going to bring yet another game review, in my quest of improving my writing ability. So let's get started!

But you seem fine is a visual novel game that was released back in March 2019. It was developed and published by a group of university students named  KJAM Games, so you can consider it as an indie game. The game doesn't weight much as it only weighs less then 50 MB, so yeah I think it can be played with most phones nowadays. Now let's get right into the game!

The Story

The story revolves around a girl named Rae Kim. At first glance, she may look like any common students at her age, who's days are filled with studying and hanging out with her peers, but they all will change. One day, she wakes up feeling unwell, brushing it off as a mere tiredness, she goes on with her day. Later on, this condition will get worse as time progress, she starts feeling more exhausted to a point where she can't get herself out of the bed. Her life turns upside down, as she spends more and more of her day confined on the bed, away from school and her friends. Her mother, will later give her supports and assist here to search for the cure of her disease. Going to doctor after doctors, her journey begins to find a cure for her condition. 

The Gameplay

Like most visual novel games, this game offers us the mechanisms we tend to see, as in choosing choices and clicking through countless textbox, but minus the multiple endings(as you don't really get to choose a meaningful/impactful choices). The visual of this game is simplistic in style which I find fitting to it. The game doesn't take up much time to finish as if you're going to play it all the way to the end, it will only take less then 2 hours. The theme that plays throughout the game sure sounds nice, especially as it blends with certain scenes that I believe are meant to stand out. 

Overall Thought

After two days of playing the game, I can say that it was a nice experience playing it. The story, to me, is the main foundation of my liking to it, as I was intrigued by its premise not to mention how the storytelling is later on carried out along with its simple visual and theme. The lack of multiple endings are fine considering that branching out the story may ruin the overall plot by allowing other ends to the story. So all in all, it's an enjoyable game! I would give this game a score of 7/10. Kudos to KJAM Games for developing it and I'm looking forward to see and play more games from you!
