About This Game Within a galaxy of terraformed planets, a secret war rages between two intergalactic agencies. One of them—ARCHON—is developing the technology to invade people’s minds. They have already tyrannized a planet called Teballai, and hope to use their mind-reading technology to spread their power across the galaxy. A second organization—FOE (Freedom Organization of Elites)—wants to destroy ARCHON’s technology in the name of freedom. When a young FOE soldier (you choose the gender) named Blaire obtains the ability to read minds from an ARCHON experiment, she finds her loyalty torn between both sides. Whether Blaire helps the enemy or defeats them depends upon your use of her power. One of the hallmarks of the traditional visual novel is a branching story line. This is typically accomplished via choices forced on the player. In some of the most complex visual novels, there are dozens of these choices and multiple endings. I call Quantum Conscience "experimental" because it seeks to do away with these choices. Outside of the very first few minutes of the game, in which the player chooses to be a male or female protagonist and answers some questions about their background, there are no forced choices. Rather, the player character--a soldier in the far-flung future--is given the power to, at any time, read the minds of the other characters. How often Blaire, your protagonist, uses this power is entirely up to the player. Starting from the middle of chapter one, it is almost always available, and the only way the player interacts with the story. The consequences of the knowledge Blaire gains (or doesn't) changes how Blaire acts and how other characters react to Blaire. 7aa9394dea Title: Quantum ConscienceGenre: AdventureDeveloper:Woodsy StudioPublisher:Woodsy StudioRelease Date: 26 Aug, 2014 Quantum Conscience Download Windows 8.1 quantum consciousness news. quantum of conscience matt. quantum superposition consciousness. quantum channels consciousness. quantum consciousness reincarnation. quantum consciousness decal. quantum consciousness wolinsky. quantum consciousness facilitator. quantum consciousness reality. quantum holographic consciousness. quantum consciousness formula. quantum world consciousness. quantum consciousness nde. quantum consciousness orchestrated objective reduction. quantum consciousness for dummies. quantum consciousness stephen wolinsky pdf. quantum consciousness podcast. quantum cognition consciousness. quantum consciousness lithium. quantum metaphysics consciousness. quantum consciousness 2018. quantum consciousness decoherence. quantum consciousness ted. penrose quantum conscience. quantum conscience download. quantum consciousness models. consciousness quantum wave collapse This is a pretty interesting VN- I put it off for a long time because the art style was really unappealing, but decided to give it another look.The hook of the game is that your character gains the ability to read minds. And depending on whether you use this power, and how you use it, your perspective will change and the story will branch in different directions. It starts off as a pretty simple story of an organization fighting for freedom in the galaxy, but there are satisfying shades of gray to everything that transpires. It could have been a little longer, but you need to run through it repeatedly to see all of the endings and most of the scenes. It's a little annoying that you have to constantly stop and click the mind reading button onscreen after every little bit of dialogue, to make sure you don't miss anything- but interface problems aside, it really shakes thigns up from the typical route system these games use. The story isn't super long, so some of the characters feel a little underdeveloped, but it's not too bad. There are a variety of simple romance scenes with most of the characters, and you can also play as a male or female- this actually ties into the story in a small, but clever manner. While the artwork never really grew on me, I did find the game surprisingly good and I'd recommend it.. Quantum Conscience is a visual novel with a unique "mind-reading" mechanic that alters the flow of the game instead of the traditional choice system. As Blaire, you can choose to read the minds of teammates close to you, which will affect Blaire's decisions later on. It's a unique system, because you gamble on your character's actions in exchange for information that may hurt or help you, but you never know until it's too late.The story is compelling, and the characters are not completely black and white. Some are easier to understand than others, and one particularly is an enigma. The only character I am dissatisfied with is Korah, who started out as a pretty strong character, but her influence on other characters was so minor, despite having claim to a strong personality. Granted, I have only played through this game once, blind. Nonetheless, the writing for this game is quite solid.The art leaves me slightly wanting, but it does a decent job (and I really like female Blaire!). I think the story comes first though, and I was so engaged that I didn't mind the art at all. I also loved that while mind-reading, the character art would change according to their thoughts. It was a thoughtful detail, and also made me smirk when I saw Verasmus smile mentally when he was reunited with Blaire.The romance department is lacking (but again, I only played once, romancing Mierol honestly by accident), but it's not a department that I care about much anyways.The music was very good, and enhanced the experience.The only complaint I had was that it was difficult to gauge exactly when to read minds. There was no indicator to alert you that characters' internal thoughts had changed, and I found myself anxiously clicking to "enter the void" every two lines in order to see if Blaire's actions or words had any impact. Maybe putting a notification of a change would have distracted from the natural uncertainty of mind-reading, but it would have saved me a bit of time.Quantum Conscience is an immersive visual novel with a unique mechanic, and at its price, it's quite a steal. One route took about 2 hours. It's worth supporting quality indie writing.. Kitty robots, queer characters, people of color, and mind-machine interfacing -- what's not to like?Kudos for being able to choose the gender of the protagonist; although, it would've been even better if there was a non-binary option. I really liked the mind-reading stuff through "the Void" because, as unethical as it may be, reading minds is a superpower I wish I had. I think most people wish they had that power at some point in their lives, if not several times in their lives. It's neat the way using that power can affect outcomes so easily. There were romance options, men and women. However, they seemed rather secondary to the story, which is fine. Sometimes romance isn't a person's cup of a tea. So, a person who isn't looking for romance in their story could probably still enjoy this game if they like sci-fi themes. I highly recommend this VN for its unique gameplay and interesting story.. Okay, I'd like to start with saying that I absolutely LOVE Woodsy Studios. That being said, this game is really not worth the full price. If this is your first Woodsy Studios game, PLEASE DON'T JUDGE THEM BASED OFF OF THIS. This was their first game, and that fact is made evident throughout the gameplay.I actually couldn't bring myself to finish this game because I lost interest.This review is purely my opinion, but I reccommend buying it at a reduced price if you choose to buy it for yourself.PROS:.Nice soundtrack.Variety of characters.Good overall plan to differentiate it from similar games.Choose whether MC is male or femaleCONS:.Atrocious illustrations (but you can adjust to them as you play).Unrelatable characters\/character ambitions not explained or given motive, just emotionlessly change opinions.Differences in dialogue dependent on when you choose to look into people's minds - as good as this feature could've been, the MC sometimes acts rude or erratic depending on what they've read in people's minds, and give away what they've learnt through mind reading; but all the other characters remain aloof, even though there's no way the MC should know half of what they do..Only character I actually liked was not in it much and ended up amounting to nothing (yes i'm salty).Poorly executed idea, with characters who change frequently and without an obvious reason to.Boring dialogue (I ended up clicking through a lot of it, which is something I usually try to avoid because I love visual novels).Very detailed - I know this is not usually a con, but I sometimes find it is when stories are written too intricately. As someone with a short attention span, despite the visuals, I still got fidgety. A lot of plot points were explained in an elongated way when there was no need.I usually replay games to earn the achievements, but this is a game that I most likely will not replay.If you want to play Woodsy Studios' more recent games, play Serafina's Crown (which is a bit slow paced at the very beginning, but you can skip through without missing much) and Echoes of the Fey (which is amazing and ongoing so get into it now so you can brag to your friends that you played it before them). An interesting VN that you can't just skip through in order to get all achievements. You actually have to read a lot of the dialogue even with a video walkthrough. You have to time when you look into somebody's mind. It feels odd, but it's a really cool system. The main complaint I have with the game is the odd censoring. It's like BattlestartGalactica when they use "frack".All in all, if you're looking for a VN with boobies and other explicit content, look elsewhere. If you're interested in a complex VN with a decent story and cool mechanics, this is for you.This isn't my type of game, but it's definitely enjoyable especially with all of the detail put into backstories and character development.
