Summary
This review is based on author's perspective and actual experience may differ on individual's own preferences.
Good
  • Story - The narrative in Welcome Aboard falls disappointingly flat. It presents a cruise filled with an eclectic mix of personalities, focusing particularly on the interactions involving redheads. Unfortunately, the lack of choices for the player diminishes the opportunity to shape the story. The absence of compelling dialogue and generic writing further contribute to the overall lackluster storytelling. - 32%
  • Visual - While the renders in Welcome Aboard are serviceable, they fail to truly impress. The visuals are passable, but they lack the finesse and attention to detail found in higher-caliber games. Additionally, the exaggerated facial expressions are jarring and do little to add depth to the characters or scenes. - 68%
  • Engagement - Despite its flaws, Welcome Aboard manages to capture a niche audience's attention with its controversial themes and straightforward approach. For those seeking instant gratification and a disregard for narrative depth, this game may provide some enjoyment. However, the repetitive nature of encounters and lack of player agency may leave some players feeling unfulfilled and disengaged over extended sessions. - 75%
  • Core Loop - The core gameplay loop in Welcome Aboard predominantly relies on progressing through pre-determined scenes, limiting the player's interaction with the story. While it is understandable that some kinetic novels follow this formula, the absence of branching paths or meaningful choices detracts from the sense of agency that players often seek. - 60%
