Introduction

Hello, I will be reviewing this article for adherence to GA criteria, as this article seems to have been the video game article that has been pending. Let's hope it passes and your patience has been awarded. Lazman321 (talk) 17:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

1 - Well written

a - Clear and concise prose

The article is definitely readable and understandable. It does explain the main aspect of the gameplay pretty well, especially since I have never played this game before. There are some prose errors in the article

Here is what they are and what I recommend changing them to:

• ...wherin the player advances through scenes... to ...wherein the player advances through scenes...

• Done

• The science fiction chapters of the story follow the explorer as she journeys towards Planet X, to The science fiction chapters of the story follows the explorer, Doctor Cassiopeia, as she journeys towards Planet X,

• [chapters...follow], not follows, and we named the explorer only the paragraph before; I'll replace "the explorer" with "Doctor Cassiopeia" instead

• ...returning to her home town in Achill Island... to ...returning to her hometown in Achill Island...

• Fixed both instances of "home town"

• ...her older brother Fergal and mother Brid, to ...her older brother Fergal and her mother Brid,

• Done

• After a fight with her mother over her feminine clothes... to After a fight with her mother over Kasio's feminine clothes...

• Done

• ...abandoned, decrepit house they are squatting in. to ...abandoned, decrepit house that the band is squatting in.

• Done

• ...through a hole in the abandoned house's roof; the next morning, to ...through a hole in the abandoned house's roof. The next morning,

• Done

• ...Shans informs Kasio that she agreed to run away together to Dublin as a couple. to ...Shans informs Kasio that he wants him and Kasio to run away together to Dublin as a couple.

• Not done, this changes the sentence- Shans isn't telling her that he wants them to run away together, he's telling her that Kasio already agreed to that the night before, she just doesn't remember because she was drunk. Changed to "that she had agreed" to clarify.

• ...despite Colum and Jack's upset with Kasio. to ...despite Colum and Jack being upset with Kasio.

• Done

• ...unworthiness to stay with Maggy, and rejected by Shans who tells her... to ...unworthiness to stay with Maggy, and from being rejected by Shans, who tells her...

• There's still some verb tense misuse here, but the real problem is that it's like 3 clauses jammed together. Split up into "Kasio feels distraught by her estrangement from her family and unworthy to stay with Maggy. She is rejected by Shans, who tells her he wants to be "normal", and Kasio breaks into the abandoned house again."

• ...and put it in the letter box for a woman... to ...and put it in the letterbox for a woman...

• Done

• ...by Irish developer Dreamfeel; studio director Llaura McGee was... to ...by Irish developer Dreamfeel. Studio director Llaura McGee was...

• Done

• It was published by Annapurna Interactive and released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and iOS devices on May 19, 2020, and for the Nintendo Switch on October 22, 2020.[1][3][4] should preferably be put at the end of the development section.

• Mostly moved; I'm leaving the mention of Annapurna because they're referenced a paragraph later.

• ...Initial development on the game began in 2016; McGee sent a proposed design... to ...Initial development on the game began in 2016. McGee sent a proposed design...

• Done

• ...dark hole within Kasio preventing her from having relationships, or missing altogether. to ...dark hole within Kasio preventing her from having relationships, or missing the relationships altogether.

• Done

I believe that's it. Hope you get to correcting them. Lazman321 (talk) 13:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

@Lazman321: All done, thanks for reviewing! We clearly have a difference of opinion on semicolons... --PresN 15:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

This article now does ✓ Pass the criterion of "Clear and concise prose". Lazman321 (talk) 17:47, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

b - Adherence to the Manual of Style

The GA criteria only requires that five guidelines of the manual of style be followed, those being the guidelines for the lead section, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. How does the article do?

• Lead: The lead nicely summarizes the key aspects of the article. It mentions what type of game it is and how it is played, it mentions the plot of the story and some of the development behind it. It also mentions how well-recieved the game is and the awards it has been nominated for. This one does ✓ Pass.
• Layout: The article does follow standard video game article layout. It has a lead section, a gameplay section, a plot section, a development section, a reception section, a references section, and an external links section. This one does ✓ Pass.
• Words to watch: There are no words that needed attention. All potential weasel words are backed up by citations, making the opinions clearly attributed. This one does ✓ Pass.
• Fiction: This article is not written from an in-universe perspective. All mentions of fiction are clearly marked as such. This one does ✓ Pass.
• List incorporation: With the exception of the external links and references section, there is no lists, nor does any need to be formatted as such. This one does ✓ Pass.

With analysis in mind, this article does ✓ Pass the "Adherence to the Manual of Style" criterion. Lazman321 (talk) 17:45, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

4 - Neutral

The only section that would have to worry about this criterion (the reception section) is already fine. All opinions are clearly attributed to many critics. This article does ✓ Pass the criterion of "Neutral". Lazman321 (talk) 22:59, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Higher quality image?

Is there a higher resolution PNG of the cover art for this game? The official cover art used is a small and heavily compressed JPEG file. Cadenrock1 (talk) Cadenrock1 (talk) 13:03, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

@Cadenrock1: Unfortunately, since the cover art is copyrighted, "fair use" rules on wikipedia mean that we have to keep the image low resolution. Rule of thumb (which gets enforced by a bot that runs around) is to stay under 100,000 total pixels, and 460*215 is 98900, so we're about as hi-res as we can get. --PresN 16:30, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
