Cahors Sunset is an interactive story board with a choice of three decisions each month of a sixty odd year old man; each desision you make affects various arrtibutes such as happiness weight, anxiety, social life etc. The aim of the game is to keep your man alive as long as possible by keeping these attributs well balanced. I reckon the game a life of several play throughs before it becomes a little boring. I've played for about 2.7 hours so far and have enjoyed it somewhat, but can't see me playing it much except maybe for the odd five minures as a filler between other games. It was only \u00a31.35, so for the time I enjoyed it was worth the money. If you want something different I will recommend it, but if you don't like text based adventures don't bother. :)The game could have had much more replayability if there had been more than one character to play through. Maybe the developer will add more in the future.If you are into online score tables you may enjoy trying to beat the top ten players. The age at which your character dies is recorded there. My best score so far is 69 years 9 months old. The top 10 scores are between 74 years 3 months and 76 years. you die when one of your attributes be it health, weight, social, anxiety, money, etc goes to zero. Whenever it's your birthday from around the age of 67 onwards you lose several points from each attribute at each birthday, so mae sure you make the right choices to survive and beat the top scores. :). It's a very sad tale about an old man remembering his life while trying to stay alive as long as possible. It's short, but it's good.. It's times like this that I wish my curiosity had not gotten the better of me.Cahors Sunset is served to you as a series of questions after a dialogue of what has most recently happened to effect his life. The game allows you to control the decisions of an old French man. Every action you take has an effect on your character and not all choices are good; many contain unwanted side effects, mainly dropping his mood(when it came to choices I would pick). The idea is to balance the positive and negative effects of each action you take and the impacts they have on the old man's health... However, unlike quite a few other visual novels, or choice driven story games, I find this flat and really not compelling enough to want to sit there for a solid 3 to 5 hours just clicking various text boxes.Though this novel had the chance to be something great, I feel as though it fails to reach the level it could. I can admire what they were trying to achieve by making this a fully choice driven story, where your decisions directly effect how long this man lives, but it takes the most stereotypical view of elderly people and just flops in trying to convey anything really deep and meaningful.It just feels like an empty and random number generator. So long as you keep attributes at a stable level you'll live longer, so long as some random thing doesn't happen to make your anxiety or mood drop to a near nothing.. Like a song you don't like playing on the radio.. At the end of it all, the payoff feels really unrewarding. On the positive notes, it has a really nice soundtrack, a lot of solid effort to convey what is going on within your characters life, full texts and decent length.Does not balance out well between pros and cons, as it's more or less something you'll pick up for about 5-10 minutes and then go along your merry way.. Seems like a tribute tale to those who have left this earth, it's a story about a older man in France trying to live out his last days as long as possible. Simple game play mechanics that seem to have an optimal strategy, the reason you would want to look at this game is more for the emotional side more then anything else. It's got a story that feels like one of an old distant relative, and is the main reason why I'm recommending the game. Otherwise, it's proably not the game for you.Some gameplay footage and info also included here: http:\/\/youtu.be\/BYk8s19IurU. I have a review for this game, but I'm going to type a wall of text here in hopes that you can't see my review. Because I think there's a major point to this game that you can't ever have someone tell you about. I think you have to experience it.. I think you have to feel it. If you can come to that point on your own, it's a beautiful and amazingly well designed game for a very low price. The problem is, in my review I'm going to spoil what I believe the "secret" point of this game is. I know some of you will click it anyways and miss out. But I'm challenging you. Is $2 really so much to pay to believe in another human being? Just please. Trust me. Don't read the rest of this review until after you've at least played through the game once on your own. For those of you that insist on seeing it now, or for those of you who have played through once and are back now to read this, here is my review: This game is magnificent. It's not amazing as far as gameplay, sound, graphics.. No. It's clearly not meant to be that type of game, but is any visual novel really about the visuals? They're just an accentuation for the story you're being immersed in. The point of the game is the reason why I love it. I played the game for about 45 minutes. Just one play through. The first ten to fifteen minutes, I was treating it like another silly game I didn't care about.. Halfway through I started really getting interested in the story. It hooks you in and goes from using third person references to saying "You did this. You remember this. You were sad because." ... without you noticing, the game goes from telling you a story about someone else to engaging you in a story about yourself. At some point, I think year seven or so. The stories stop. The family history goes no further. You learn about your parents, how they met. You learn about yourself. You learn about your brothers, and how you struggled. You learn about your first love and how she was your pillar when times got hard. When times became harder she was only there for you more. And then suddenly the history stops. The GAMEPLAY stops. And you're asked.. there really a reason to balance your life? To prolong your suffering and loneliness? To keep thinking about things. To keep hoping for another love as deep and fulfilling as the one you lived. And at that point I realized. This game lies to you. The game tells you the point is to keep yourself alive as long as possible. And yes, you can do that for the leaderboards if you like. You can be a robot and experience life in the most optimal way for survival. Or you can do what you feel is right as you come to terms with death. In my own final days, I visited many loved relatives and friends. Put aside money for my children, even when I didn't have any. Went out to theatre and surrounded myself with people I cared for. People stole from me and silly things would bother me.. And one day the money ran out and I died. I cried a little bit but.. I died living to the fullest. And that. That is what I think this game is truly about. It's not a grind to live as long as you can. It's only a grind for as long as it takes for you to realize that grinding your life away is NOT the life you should want to live. At that point the game teaches you something deep about yourself and allows you to come to terms with human mortality. For that reason I believe this game is magnificent. But who knows. I might be seeing magic where there is nothing. Perhaps it wasn't their intention. Regardless, I'm very glad for what I got out of this game.. I'm kind of sad I would have missed it if it wasn't so cheap. 10 out of 10 . Thank you to the people who worked on this gem.
