BASED! Max, an Autistic Journey - review: this game helped me have even less sympathy for autistics

[Jaimas]

I'm curious if this is a nod to the ribbon for autism where it's composed of multi-colored puzzle pieces as a metaphor for how "the pieces don't always fit". Which represents the difficulty of fitting in for autistic people.

Actually, according to what I read, it's an Autism Speaks reference.

Apparently in addition to speaking, it now makes games.

I have no problem with this. I go have enjoyed games which explore my behavoural problems for example total war helped me with my naked hunger for power. Dungeon keeper helped me discover my passion for tormenting people. Edutainment is awsome!

This piece of dialogue genius from the game is too good not to post here.

We need a mod where the player character is replaced by CWC.

So... did anyone suggest DSP to try and play it?

Why do people think MS Paint is an acceptable level of quality to be put on steam? And why are the portraits and human sprites completely different than the background and monsters? Was the designer autistic?

tbh one of my favorite parts of the game is the meter in the upper right corner that shows how triggered Max is.

Someone needs to make an SJW game with a trigger meter in it.

I really hope the goal is to get that meter to the max to go into Tard Tantrum mode where all your attacks do 2x damage and have a chance to cause confusion.

Probably for the same reason people thought games about Diabetes and Asthma would do well:

I jest. These weren't made for market. They were made to help really little kids who were just diagnosed and only available via a mail service.

Having asthma sucks, not going to lie. I know from personal experience. But what does asthma have to do with dinosaurs?

Because :autism:

Because it was made in RPGMaker VX Ace and is little better than an asset flip.

Because puns

Skimmed through Harmful Opinion's videos of this.

Honestly, the guy who made this has his heart in the right place, but between the crappy presentation, the horrible pacing, the cringey attempts at humor, and the art style, I don't think he's doing many autistic kids any favors.

Also the kid seems more schizophrenic than autistic.

Is that really the symbol for autism, puzzle pieces that don't fit? If you have puzzle pieces that don't fit your puzzle you're supposed to get rid of them.

Yep, it is.

I cannot wait for this game to turn into one of those shitty joke games you gift to your friends on steam as a joke.
