9/20/2023 0 Comments Alternote review![]() ![]() Being that VR is tough to stay in for long periods of time, this leads to a dreadfully slow way to absorb a story. Unfortunately, this type of gameplay slows down the game’s pace tremendously which is a shame because the world and story are fairly interesting.ĭyschronia is absolutely pulling from genre tropes such as time loops and 2010s anime aesthetics but instead of steadily working away at a larger puzzle box like the brilliant game The Forgotten City, Dyschronia is more like reading a mystery novel while a child interrupts every few minutes. The player is constantly stopped by dialogue, mostly Hal speaking his thoughts out loud or talking with his adorable robotic companion, Lily. There were several instances where I was exploring a murder scene only to be shoe-horned into certain tasks, despite me already figuring out the solution. I’ve run into this in visual novels a few times and there is another game I’ll be covering soon that I have similar problems with but Dyschronia’s puzzles are incredibly rail-roaded. Gaming in virtual reality I feel is at its best when there is plenty to interact with and this is where I think Dyschronia misses the mark the most. Prior to playing on the Meta Quest, I’d spent a lot of time playing on the PSVR but much of the best the VR platform has to offer I haven’t played yet. As for visual novels, I’ve played dozens but they rarely capture me without pairing that style of storytelling with compelling gameplay or exceptionally good writing. Thankfully a colleague had a headset that he was willing to loan me so I spent a few weeks and a couple of hours at a time getting to know Dyschronia, which is primarily a VR visual novel with puzzles and layers of sci-fi world-building. I assume I landed on this list from my work at PAX events. This marks one of the first physical press kits I’ve gotten in a while and I’m exceptionally grateful but this was a tricky review because I haven’t covered VR and I didn’t own a Meta Quest. It was a typical assortment of items including a t-shirt (several sizes too large for me), bath salts featuring anime characters, stickers, a handy guide to the game’s world, and a code for the game. As a result, the NJDPB has determined the default provider for the current fiscal year (FY) covering July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023, to be Empower (formerly Prudential).About a month ago, I was randomly mailed a press kit for Dyschronia. The NJDPB has considered the concerns of members, human resource managers, and the investment providers for the ABP, and has developed procedures to periodically select an investment provider to serve as the default provider. If the member is subject to delayed vesting, and is enrolled with the default investment provider, the member is allowed to choose an alternate investment provider during the first year and transfer the contributions deposited to that alternate investment provider. Contributions will continue to be sent to the default investment provider and invested in that money market fund until the ABP member designates an investment provider, completes an application with that investment provider, and notifies the employer of this action. The default investment provider is authorized to accept employer and employee mandatory contributions and will invest the funds in a money market fund.
