I thought saving the village elder was the obvious good choice. But then, because he lived, he made a treaty that led to a war I never saw coming in Side Effects. Now I'm trying to figure out if I can undo that, or if I just have to live with the consequences.
When we designed Side Effects, our goal was to make players feel the weight of their decisions. We wanted to move beyond simple branching paths and create a system where the narrative truly felt alive and unpredictable. The Echo System is at the heart of this, allowing for a feedback loop that keeps players engaged and questioning their every move.
The adaptive companions in Side Effects are a testament to our commitment to immersive storytelling. They aren't just characters; they are reflections of the player's journey, growing and changing alongside them. This creates a much deeper connection and makes the world of Side Effects feel truly reactive.
Side Effects isn't just about playing a game; it's about exploring the very nature of consequence. Will you strive for a perfect outcome, or embrace the beautiful chaos that arises from imperfection? The ultimate strategy in Side Effects is to understand that sometimes, the most impactful stories arise from the unexpected. Aim for high scores by achieving narrative coherence and witnessing a multitude of unique endings.
