Actual Sunlight is a short interactive story about love, depression and the corporation.
The game puts you in the role of Evan Winter, a young professional in Toronto, as he moves through three distinct periods of his life. The story is linear, unavoidable and (hopefully) thought-provoking. You experience his perceptions, fall under the consequences of his decisions, and meet everyone who didn’t change him.
Gameplay is minimal, and serves only to move from one part of the (admittedly) text-heavy story to the next. The game fiercely attempts to be worth it.
Actual Sunlight is not appropriate for children. It features mature themes and an adult-workplace amount of profanity. And it does so immediately.

Completed on PS Vita in about 1 hour and a half.
Best enjoyed (?) if you are a 30-something with some experience in depressive thoughts/behavior.
I liked it because it tackles a subject matter not often seen in videogames. Reminds me a lot of Cart Life.

I do not think that there are words to describe how horrible this game is. It is not a video game. It is not a visual novel. It is not "art". It is complete rubbish. From the moment you see the "network connectivity may be lost during game play" message when loading, anyone who actually played this game will know …
I do not think that there are words to describe how horrible this game is. It is not a video game. It is not a visual novel. It is not "art". It is complete rubbish. From the moment you see the "network connectivity may be lost during game play" message when loading, anyone who actually played this game will know this is where the pain starts. From the annoying drilling sound of the ridiculous amount of text you have to read when it scrolls across the screen, to the menus that force your decisions for you, by the time you finish this "game" you will appreciate literal actual sunlight. Trophies are handed to you and present no challenge, which makes this game even more of a joke.
Completing this game is an act of self-torture, and I hate myself for playing it. This is absolutely the worst game I have ever played.
