Softonic review

Relatable interactive game

There are times in your life when you’ll experience a slump. Whether from your work, financial, emotional, mental, physical, or in all aspects, it is an inevitable event in your lifetime. Once in a while, it is important to pause, take a break, and reflect. Here, in Respite, you can play a highly relatable role-playing game. It is an animated interactive fiction and a narrative-driven point-and-click game wherein you’ll play as an overworked white-collar employee in Hong Kong that is under immense fatigue and stress. As you feel overwhelmed with all the work, you took time off to rest, which allows you to reminisce about your past struggles and remember the importance of family, friends, and break.

Interesting plot and engaging gameplay

Respite boasts an interesting and engaging plot. The story starts with you arguing with your flatmate, which led you to shatter one of your bunkmate’s treasured plants. It continues with you waking up in and lying blanky in bed the next morning. Gradually, the confrontation comes back to you, reminding you of the reason behind it. All because they wanted you to take a day off with your overwhelming work. However, you refuse to listen. 

Feeling apologetic,  you stood up and watered his plants. Only to discover that all of your roommates wrote sweet and encouraging notes for you when they left for a trip together. You will then re-explore the apartment, with each small object telling you a bit about your relationship with each other.

Respite is a short but heartwarming, interactive clicker game that you can finish playing in a few minutes. It contains an alluring art style and music, which you’ll surely love. It also uses simple controls, such as the left mouse for selection and interaction with objects and doors and the right mouse for moving and rotation of objects. It requires no learning curve. It is a great storytelling game to try, especially if you are into playing psychological themed games.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?
