While I was only able to test this in a couple of situations, it felt kind of like the game was more like a movie than something that I actually had input in. As I progressed, though, the answers to my choices seemed general enough to fit all instances. Some answers would, in normal situations, incite anger in the opposite party, which I avoided in the event of a falling out later on. However, all decisions eventually lead to the same conclusion. This game is an interactive biopic, so you would think your choices would make a difference. How are they feeling right now? Are they alone? What happens next in their story? We Are OFK features a great method of storytelling that made me grow attached to the characters quicker than I ever imagined. The cliffhangers at the end of each story and music video in a chapter leave you hungry for more and impacted me in such a way that I thought about the characters even after I’ve finished playing. While I was able to access all chapters at once for the purpose of this review, I believe that the episodic nature of the game is the best way to consume it. They dive into the hearts of characters who are going through something or faced with a difficult decision, teleporting the player to their mind’s eye. The combination of the visuals, powerful music, and lyrics serves to both help the player empathize with the characters and to showcase an epic finale to each chapter.

These music videos are interactive, with the player being able to disrupt the background occasionally or move characters around to complete objectives. It’s not a grand adventure by any measure, but as a fan of fantasy myself, I often find comfort in realistic dilemmas that affect the everyday person.Įach episode in We Are OFK is around 50–80 minutes, ending in a song from Team OFK’s EP as a music video. Similar to reading a book when you meet a character who you just want to scream at because you want them to be better, the main cast in We Are OFK shines best in the way they grow together across each episode. While some decisions made by the characters may seem obvious, brash, or immature, it’s their imperfect reactions that made them feel more real. Finding motivation at a job with co-workers you dislike, wanting to be an artist but being afraid of the instability, and re-evaluating what it means to be your authentic self are a few themes present in the story that many of us players have grappled with over our own lives. We Are OFK is just about regular people with regular problems, and that’s what makes it so relatable. While many video games feature scenarios where people’s lives are in danger, there are clear protagonists and antagonists, and there are consequences for people’s actions, other games are more mellow, focusing on simple tasks or just the struggles of everyday life.
