Miu's World

Wtf is going on. It's an empty game with an empty map and empty mechanics. All you do is spawn in a bigass room with nothing but free asset flipped toy models scattered on one side of the room and the other a two minute walk away. The scale of the map is so off, you're like an inch tall and the map is a mile long. There's nothing engaging for you to do, other than get eaten by a cat girl. And even then, there isn't much stimulating for the eyes or the other parts. The settings are a mess, in the current version of writing you deadass can't even mute the music in the game or change sensitivity. TL;DR ​ Death stranding but as stimulating as half a rock.

There are some pretty pertinent details I cannot state here due to ToS, so I'll keep it trimmed. After over a year in funded development, this is still barely even passable as a tech demo. Proof of concept fits this best. There's an absurd scarcity of content, constant bugs, and only a veneer of paint that looks like QoL. This has no substance. For starts, this game runs poorly. It's not intensive on your rig, it simply has its FPS capped at what looks to be 45-55. If it's 60, it's certainly not smooth. On the upside, it's only drawing 35% of my 4090's power, so...yay? The settings menu is very sparse, having all the trimmings of a proper one, but none of the actual settings you'd want. You can't see any of the keybinds, meaning you must look at the poorly organized posts that sometimes mention them for the debug keys. This is important, as you are strictly a micro in the primary mode, and you have an entire house to traverse. F1 speeds you up, and that is a mandatory thing here. Back to the menu, the "GamePlay" options are quite literally exclusively about your flashlight. I have never seen this many flashlight options in a game. But those kinks you can supposedly toggle on and off? TBD :> Graphics have Fullscreen, Resolution, and Game Quality. The end. Audio has "Not available in this build." Amazing. And after only a year! Bugs! When you go into the menu, it locks your mouse out of the game itself. It's not gamebreaking, as you simply click once and it fixes it. But I've never seen this bug in a unity game, and I've played quite a few, so it's breaking new ground. If you press P while inside the the titular Miu's belly, you enter a spectator mode intended for you to observe your character in her gut along with Miu herself. However, if you do this, you'll find that Miu is just Tposing. Incredible that they got that down after a mere year! Oh, and the world she's supposed to be walking around dynamically in ceases to exist. Everything becomes a black void. Want to know what's supremely weird about this? In the trailer put onto youtube 1 full year ago, the spectator mode showed Miu's environment, not a black void. Weird. Content! There's not a lot! Miu can find you, pick you up, and then tease you for a few seconds before swallowing you. After that, you will land in her belly, which is full of candy, and then sit there. For a very. Very. Long time. As it slowly fills up with stomach acids that just as slowly tick down your health. It is kind of neat that it simulates her walking around, but as previously mentioned...she's not actually doing that, so it's not impressive at all. The acids slosh around, but there isn't any sound for it. The belly sounds have a very harsh loop that was not tested well, or at all. I've been writing this review while the game slowly "digested" me. My health is only now at half. Realizing this was just not viable, I pressed "o", which damages you. When you die, there's no scene or sound, you just fall down and get a popup saying "You died :c" You can then go to spectator mode or the main menu. In spectator, you do not digest, but simply remain ragdolled on the ground as Miu t-poses in the void. Epic. There is nothing further beyond this. You cannot leave spectator mode. This is the entirety of the "Main Mode". I've reset the scene 4 times, and Miu never does anything differently. There are 3 other modes, being Feeding Mode, Sleeping Mode, and Stomach Mode. In feeding mode, you have an allotment of candy to feed to Miu as she gapes her jowls. Alternatively, you can feed her your body. You then see the same content with her belly. In sleeping mode, Miu is sleeping. You have to manually run to her bedroom and perform a VERY scuffed climb up to her bed. During this mode, you realize that the game is entirely silent without her walking around. There is no ambience. You make zero sound. It's very uncomfortable. I have no idea what you're meant to do in this mode. Using spectator mode, I can see that she actually has modeled insides...kind of. There is enough room in both of her holes to enter, but they're not thorough. I also learned that 90% of her body doesn't have collission, so if you get enough air from a jump, you don't need spectator mode to see those internals. I tried climbing up her feet, but fell through. I then jumped onto her ass...and fell through. I tried jumping into her mouth and couldn't. This mode seems entirely pointless right now. But that's fine, it's only been a year. In stomach mode, you just start in the still t-posing Miu's mouth. You can walk down into her belly. And that's it. That's literally all the content in the game that I could find. She never once speaks, never does anything other than walk and eat you when in the main mode, or perform static behavior in the alternative modes. This is nothing. There's nothing here. Well, except the ability to change her outfits. I like that. Very nice. Amazing work. This is, in all honesty, one of the worst games I have ever played due to its impeccable set of circumstances. I'm so glad I finally got to play it.
