Yuppie Psycho
Yuppie Psycho
Yuppie Psycho, développé par Baroque Decay et édité par Another Indie, est sorti le 25 avril 2019 sur PC, Mac, Xbox One et Linux. Ce jeu d'aventure indépendant, réalisé avec le moteur Monogame, plonge le joueur dans la peau de Brian Pasternack pour son premier jour chez Sintracorp, l'une des plus grandes sociétés au monde. Incertain et inexpérimenté, le jeune homme doit accomplir sa première mission, qui consiste à traquer une sorcière ayant contribué au succès de l'entreprise mais semant désormais la folie parmi les employés, tout en survivant à des créatures et en dévoilant les sombres secrets de la compagnie. L'Executive Edition ajoute de nouvelles zones, de nouveaux boss et des heures de contenu supplémentaire. La bande originale est signée Michael Garoad, compositeur de VA-11 Hall-A.
L'accueil critique a été favorable, la presse saluant notamment une œuvre qui balance entre énigmes, gameplay de survival horror et une histoire satirisant la vie en entreprise, tout en évoquant un futur néo-corporatiste digne de la science-fiction cinématographique. Certains joueurs ont exprimé leur satisfaction, qualifiant l'expérience de très bonne voire de parfaite, tout en regrettant parfois l'absence de suite. Le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 81, un score OpenCritic de 82 et une note agrégée de 80,53. Le temps de parcours annoncé est d'environ huit heures et demie pour l'histoire principale et de dix-huit heures et demie pour un profil complétiste, le prix s'établissant à 16,19 euros.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Yuppie Psycho gives us a glimpse into the neo-corporate future depicted in science fiction films like Robocop and The Matrix, where normal people try to navigate the corporate dystopian workspaces they’ve found themselves in. It’s a highly polished look at what we once imagined as the reality of the corporatised future, and still could be. It’s entertaining and engaging with its poke at modern life and the flimsy social systems we cling to. It argues that you are not defined by your job – and, on occasion, that’s something everyone needs to hear. »
« Balanced firmly between satisfying puzzles, survival horror gameplay, and an amusing story that satirizes the grind of corporate life, the odd but thoroughly engaging Yuppie Psycho has all the makings of a cult classic. »
« Yuppie Psycho tells a thrilling career adventure story with a strong sense of mystery and it keeps me engaged all the time. »
« While the difficulty level may scare some away, Yuppie Psycho has so much great writing and clever gameplay that it would be a crime to overlook. Pasternack’s journey through SintraCorp is equal parts scary and hilarious, and the handful of annoying moments were more than made up for by a fundamentally humane story about people trying to connect and help one another within a system designed to grind them into a slurry of blandness. Sometimes literally. »
« A unique pixel-art horror game from the guys that made Count Lucanor, that nails it in almost every way, being fun and engaging during the whole adventure (that is not so long or replayable). »
« Yuppie Psycho is like a crossover between The Office and Twin Peaks. It is weird, but it is also really good at what it does. If you want something original, this can be a very pleasant surprise. »
« It’s not the greatest playing horror game, and some aspects feel extremely dated. However, Yuppie Psycho is undeniably worth playing for anyone that is looking for something weird and wants art to actually have something to say. »
« Yuppie Psycho is a surreal and incredibly unique experience. By drawing most of it's inspiration from television and film, the game develops a unique aesthetic and world that feels unlike anything other video games have explored. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This game unexpectedly very good, I have low expectation at first, but ending up play this game everyday and got all achievements. Luckily I bought the limited edition one because the game is become one of my favorite. This game pixel art looks kinda ugly if we looking from a review screenshot, but when you are playing the game, the pixel art is perfect for this type of game, the control also very precise. Puzzle sometime will force you to look for internet for guide, but it is very possible to figure out by ourselves if we takes our time. The "boss battle" also very challenging and the ending is very satisfying. »
« müthiş oyun tam anlamıyla perfect. Tek sıkıntısı oyunun devamı yok oyunu unutmadığım sürece tekrar başlayamam :( amabuna rağmen kırıcağım tek bir yer var ki oda save korkusu, eğer bir şeyle dövüşüyorsak ve ölürsek ki dövüşü beni benden almıyor bayıyor ölürsem geçmiş olsun save 2km uzağa atıyor yeni bir şey araştırmaya gelmiyo. »
« Great game I love pixel art style they used and I love the Setting and Story »
« From my perspective, that was a normal pixel game that's all. I mean there is no difference between classic story games and Yuppie Psycho. But that was good not going to lie. What was good? Multiple endings, characters and there's secrets behind them. At least this game is not expensive to buy it. 7/10 »

« Вот чего не ожидал от пиксельной инди так это такого. Игра сразу шедевр. Понимаешь это не на первом прохождении. НО если на первом затянуло, то нужно обязательно пройти на все концовки, даже если это противоречит вашим убеждениям и принципам. Это расширяет лор игры и очень существенно. Очень крутые сюжетные повороты. Загадки. И персонажи. Отдльное сьпасбо нашму русско локализатру за исправлние всех опчаток иошибок! Моя оценка 10/10. »
« YUPPIE PSYCHO is a stealth horror adventure game. A worthy project, since the game contains a drop of humor, emotion, and even sometimes I had an intrigue. Decent 8 points from the best critic. »
