The bugs are fairly minor though. I’ve played through the whole game and seen a couple times where a character spawned out of bounds or in the ground or wall, and NPCs do some weird stuff sometimes like getting stuck in corners and such, but it’s nothing serious. It’s not like when I played F.E.A.R. and made the game unbeatable by checking an in-game laptop too early D:<
1.- I don’t mind the gameplay being simplistic. But I want them to fix the bugs.
2.- I’m not rich, so I’ll wait for a while until the prize decreases. Better even if I wait for an offer to buy it with a discount.
3.- Better off to play the game in either summer or winter vacations so I wouldn’t feel too pressured.

It’s actual gameplay has gotten some bad press and I do agree it’s fairly flawed, but the game is seriously worth playing all the same. Like, I was COMPLETELY absorbed into each character’s story, and I usually don’t get that into movies let alone stories in video games :D
This game asks the question: What value does society place on sadness?
It’s an interesting question that I have no idea how to approach. But if there’s one thing I have noticed also about
the game it’s that it also asks: What do you do when confronted with a problem?
Do you lock it away and run from it hoping it won’t ever come back? Only for it to bust open at the worst possible moment and ruin everything. Or do you deal with it no matter how bad it is?
think about it, the first thing that happens in the opening act is Arthur being reminded about his brother. At which point you can choose to run from the problem by taking Joy or try to confront it. In that regard I think it asks a question that quite relevant in our modern day world with depression being as high as it is.

Oh, don’t be silly! JOY is your Joy, of course! Now remember, if you plan on catching rain water to drink keep in mind it doesn’t contain Joy like the tap water so be sure to adjust your dosage accordingly and, if you’re not sure, talk to a doctor and he’ll fix you right up. And have a lovely day :]
@Nittany Discord
If you’re worried about the weather just take your Joy and the sky will be lovely before you know it. You can never take too much Joy, you know :]

Do you know the difference between a Downer and the plague? One’s an infectious lethal pox on society… and the other’s a bacterium! :]
It’s another fabulous day in Wellington Neights. The weather is only slighty slighty rainy with streaks of lovely sunshine. Everyone in Wellington Well is doing what exactly he or she ought to. Smiling and laughing and taking their joy.
:)
What. About. You!
>:)
That’s right. I’m talking to you. Are you doing what you should? Hehehe. Of course you are. After all, you’re not a downer are you? We know what we do to downers don’t we?
|:)
Now some people have asked me, what to do about the happy, excited, throngs running through the street. What you should do is…

The points 2 and 3 still stand thought.

I’d rather wait until.

True. I agree with your interpretation.

Ohh, interesting story :O
This’ll more or less sum it up :D
We require smiles daily
Helps to hide your side that’s crazy
Happiness is not a choice
Now open wide and take your Joy

Lucky for you all, I love destructive weather. That’s my Joy.
My friends are right, there’s nothing to worry about. Now don’t be such a downer and take your joy, I guarantee you wouldn’t regret it.
If you’re worried about the weather just take your Joy and the sky will be lovely before you know it. You can never take too much Joy, you know :]
They won’t call for a windstorm, silly downer; Uncle Jack says it’s just a light breeze! We’ll be fine, now take your Joy.
What if the meteorologists call for a windstorm? You can’t control the weather with pills.
