About
NEON WHITE IS A SPEEDRUN/FPS/VISUAL NOVEL HYBRID WITH AN EMPHASIS ON BOTH THE COMPETITION ASPECT AND THE STORY ASPECT. FOLLOWS THE MAIN CHARACTER NEON WHITE AS HE COMPETES AMONG OLD FRIENDS AND NEWLY ESTABLISHED RIVALS FOR AN ESCAPE FROM HELL. A SPOT IN HEAVEN IS PROMISED TO THE WINNER, BUT THIS 'PARADISE' MAY PROVE TO BE INFINITELY MORE INFERNAL THAN THE UNDERWORLD ITSELF.
Why should I play?
OKAY. IM SUCH A BIG FANGIRLBOY FOR THIS GAME AND THERE ARE TONS UPON
TONS OF REASONS TO PLAY, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU SOME OF THE ONES THAT MADE ME
DECIDE TO PICK IT UP. FIRST AND FOREMOST, MACHINE GIRL DID THE SOUNDTRACK.
AAAMAZING BREAKCORE BAND AND THEIR STYLE ALIGNS SO WELL WITH THE GAME. ALSO LIKE
EVERY SINGLE TRACK BANGS. AS YOU'D EXPECT MACHINE GIRL TO
SECONDLY... THE GAMEPLAY/STORY HONESTLY HAVE ONE OF THE BEST BALANCES I'VE EVER
SEEN IN A VIDEO GAME. RARELY DID THE GAMEPLAY ASPECT FEEL LIKE A CHORE AND IT
FELT REWARDING TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE NEXT DIALOGUE/CUTSCENE AFTER COMPLETING
ONE OF THE MISSIONS. ALSO THE SPLIT MODEL APPEAL IS TOTALLY THERE. DON'T CARE FOR
FPS/SPEEDRUNNING? COOL, YOU ONLY HAVE TO GET A GOLD MEDAL TO PROGRESS ONWARD. DON'T
CARE FOR THE STORY? AOK, JUST SKIP THROUGH IT ALL. THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT HYBRID
GENRES.
LASTLY... THE ART IS SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. SOME OF THE CGS IN THIS GAME ARE
DRAWN SO BEAUTIFULLY, ALONG WITH THE SPRITE ART AND MODELS JUST LOOKING SUPER POLISHED
AND CLEAN, NOT TO MENTION THE OPENING CUTSCENE. (GIF ABOVE). IT'S OBVIOUS THIS GAME
HAD SO MUCH LOVE PUT INTO IT BY ANNAPURNA AND ESPOSITO AND. AT THIS P, IF YOU'RE STILL
READING, JUST GO DROP THE 20 BUCKS AND GIVE IT A PLAY. I SHOULD PROBABLY MENTION THAT
A LOT OF PEOPLE FIND THE DIALOGUE CHEESY OR OTHERWISE UNPLEASURABLE BUT... IT HONESTLY
WASN'T LIKE THAT FOR ME. THERE'S A LOT OF MORE MODERN JOKES BUT THEY DIDN'T MAKE ME
GRIT MY TEETH IN PAIN OR ANYTHING AND I THINK A LOT OF 'BOOMER' MEDIA TRYING TO MAKE HIP AND NEW QUIPS OR WHATEVER
IS THE REASON A LOT OF META JOKES ARE KINDA SOUR NOW. SOOO... TAKE THAT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.
