Editor's Rating
Story - The narrative of *Finding Cloud 9* starts off with a premise that could be thrilling but quickly spirals into a quagmire of clichés and questionable decision-making. Our main character, thrust into a world of drugs and crime due to his stepdad's ill-fated decisions, seems to trip over every bad choice imaginable, making him less of a hero and more of a reluctant pawn. - 40%
Visual - On the visual front, *Finding Cloud 9* delivers some decent renders that capture the essence of its characters well enough, although there’s a clear lack of diversity that stunts its appeal. The aesthetics might maintain a certain appeal, especially during intimate scenes, but characters often feel like they were assembled from a template. - 63%
Engagement - Engagement suffers considerably, largely due to the restrictive nature of the narrative choices. While the game boasts a sandbox environment, it largely feels like a painted backdrop where players have the illusion of choice, but the reality is more of a linear narrative experience. The dialogue can be hit or miss, leading to moments where immersion is broken due to awkward phrasing. - 50%
Core Loop - In terms of gameplay mechanics, the core loop in *Finding Cloud 9* lacks the dynamic thrill often found in better-constructed adult titles. While the idea of delivering drugs and interacting with a variety of characters seems ripe for opportunities, the execution leaves much to be desired. The reliance on stat checks that limit dialogue options can feel like a chore - 45%

Game has potential but the writing is awful. All the characters talk the same as the MC and the MC is a complete bitch. This is game breaking for me, no matter how good the renders may look.
Android download is broken.
Probably be good if it were not a sandbox video game. If I have to click a map to go somewhere I’m out.
Oh. You’re out, are you?
Hold on a minute and let me jot all this shit down and take some notes.
This way I can reference it later when I’m attempting to give a fuck.
You gave enough of a fuck to comment, Rancor… just thought I’d point that out.
Him saying he’s out is expressing an opinion. A personal perspective, that generally does not require input from anyone else. Your comment however, implies your investment, regardless of whether you’ve have us believe otherwise. If you truly didn’t give a fuck there was no reason to waste the time to leave the comment. Was there?
That’s totally what someone who doesn’t care looks like.
No wait I was mistaken. That’s what a retard sucking exhaust fumes looks like. Nice one, retard.
