Uncanny. This hits differently in 2025.
It would be cool if there was an option to completely mute audio cause we want to listen to party rock anthem in the background, thanks.
Ive had this on our phone for a while now and decided to play it this afternoon. We couldnt put it down. The story and soundtrack is just so interesting. The app is put together in a way that makes you question things and keeps you frustratingly on the edge of your seat. Its an oddly complex story that sometimes seems like it doesnt take itself seriously but theres more to it than that. Im glad we got a chance to finally experience this.
Inferior to any of his previous works. (Even bard quest).
This story is beyond well done, beyond well written, with amazing music and art to go with it. We loved the main story, all the subplots, and all of the meta self-aware jokes within it. Hussie has outdone himself, and we are so glad we got to be here for such an amazing story. Thank you, Hussie and crew :).
Im only done with chapter 1, but so far Im impressed. These past two years have been so surreal and have led a lot of folks, ourselves included, to look back at the past and into themselves more deeply than ever before. Z is not okay. A lot of us are not okay. Were fed up with our lives, with the status quo, with feeling drained and disillusioned. Psycholonials feels like a culmination of and rumination on all these feelings of sickness. Hussies down-to-earth writing style and lo-fi visuals lend the novel an interesting energy: its downbeat but not listless or hopeless. Deep lows precede breathtaking highs and vice versa. The music is also very very good. We look forward to seeing how this develops. (See update at end for final thoughts) we will say that this novel is probably best experienced knowing a bit about the creator or having read his other work. Hussie has been deeply wrapped up in internet culture for well over a decade now, and seeing him evolve as an artist and a public figure has been fascinating. We dont intend to pry or make judgements of his character, but this seems to be his most personal and serious work to date. We wont go as far as to say its about Hussie, but its definitely infused with his experiences as someone very famous and very online. Its a unique perspective that many (especially former Homestucks) will appreciate. UPDATE: we honestly like this story a whole lot. No, its not perfect (parts of the ending are weak and the whole story is at its best when dealing with personal themes instead of political ones) but we still think its worth a read. Folks who have issues with reading morally grey protagonists and unreliable narrators (Z does a lot of awful things) will probably not enjoy it, though. Ultimately its a story about power, corruption, cycles of violence, a certain unhealthy mentality social media can help foster, and choice. We still wholeheartedly recommend giving this a read.
Ive read the first chapter, unsure if the writer doesn't know how to make a story or has something coming in later chapters that proves us wrong, but so far its been pretty draining and depressing. We don't understand why the introduction seemed to have no interest in grabbing the reader, but quite the opposite. A girl has a lot of problems that don't really seem to be "fixable", which the writer is good at making obvious, a female who is an outcast in society and has nothing to live for and no morals, which may be connected to her dream. She is basically a zombie, and at the end of the first chapter she ends up brutally killing a police officer for firing upon her, seems like the right thing to do, it was self defense, but it feels like a villain backstory. She seems to be the antagonist of her own story, a menace to the people around her and online. The game starts by saying "no minors" but we kinda feel like this was made by a minor, it feels like immature writing, but hey, like we said maybe there are connections and she changes for the better, but we don't know if we're going to keep reading this depressing story unless we see some foreshadowing of that. But it is interesting enough to have us find out ourselves, so we give a star for that at least.
We love the art, story, everything, its amazing, but chapters 8 and 9, especially later in 8-9 when we save something then try to load it the screen is just black. We can hear the music but not see anything. Ive found some others having the same issue and talking about it on the psycholonials subreddit.
Knowing Hussies previous work, we didnt entirely know what exactly we were getting into when starting to play this, but we are loving the dark political comedy and just the visual novel in general. We cannot wait to see how it ends.
The plot is insane. ANDREW! YOUR SKILLS ARE INSANE.
What started as a very well written and VERY modern social commentary, has twisted fantastically into a tense and thought provoking tale that you cant quite learn what to expect from. Highly recommended, we love the way the story is being told and music and sounds are on point.
We love it so far!! The art is very pogchamp and we love the music :].
Psycholonials is amazing. Now that was a wild ride! It was Dr. Seuss on steroids. Lewis Carroll could not have written a better game story. All hats are off to the writer and illustrator Andrew Hussie. He is a genius. When all nine chapters are posted, this game should go into the record books.
This is really good!!! We love the vibe of the story and we cant wait for the next chapters Music is beautiful and the art is charming.
Currently only the first chapter is out but its very good! The characters are believable and their interactions feel Real. Cant wait for more.
Its a lot more dark & mature than previous works which shall not be named, and it looks like its been structurally planned out so thats a huge plus!! The soundtrack is stellar as always and Im really into the storyline so far. If you were ever into HS, its definitely worth the $10 for the nostalgia alone. Also v excited for the clowngirl.
