I think that these developers are great, I personally like their games an extreme amount. I loved this game as well, it even made me jump a few times. While it did have little scares, it also made me think, and made me laugh. It was a great experience and it will be my baseline when it comes to games within the same genre!

This game has really fascinated me. The advice given to me at the end based on my results happened to be just what I was debating in my head the day before. Its really accurate, both in the first game and in this one. I'm excited to try the next game and to see what all of these questions and answers boils down to. I definitely recommend this game to anyone, as seeing something about yourself without the fog of your own thoughts and mind in the way can be really helpful.

FAILBOAT JUMPSCARE

To say i could be doing more with my time is a hefty understatement. I graduated from high school about a year and a half ago with a vested interest in theater and competitive gaming. Two incredibly difficult things to live off of but things that would make me incredibly happy. We tried to get me into college but for some reason my shot records that I need to submit to the school just... don't exist on the databases my clinic has access to, so I can't even do that. Aside from taking care of my niece, most days I have nothing but time but no plan on how to spend it. I enjoy the time that I spend with friends, family, and gaming - but I'm not actively working towards anything I actually want to do right now and it's been eating away at me, I'm not sure if this game reminding me of that will help me act on that truth or not, but I do appreciate the bittersweet reminder that I could be doing more with my life.

Secret word: Survivor

I think I'll shift this to the neutral/hitting recommend because no is a bit harsh. The Test felt generic, whereas this feels a little more nuanced, despite the repetition of like 6-7 questions from the first one (which had me ready to hit the Not Recommended button TBH). On to the third one and we'll see if I've reached an authentic recommend by that stage.

I picked these games up after watching Markiplier play through the first two because I was curious where they were going. This one, the second in the series, was a lot of fun even though it was scary for a non-horror game and absolute honesty began to get difficult by the end. I am very invested in seeing what the final installment reveals.

I came in expecting a horror game but the truth is that it's so much more. I needed the positivity, the love, even if it's from a skull-masked anime dude who's bizarrely obsessed with incest and punching nuns. My word was Accomplish.

I have to say I don't necessarily agree with what was said at the end of this one. I believe that balancing what you SHOULD do with what you WILL do is a life-balance act that I am doing pretty ok with! It is always better to take a day of self care than take the chance of burning out.

I'm glad I did though because the results in the end were stuff I needed to hear. Thank you Randumb Studios for making this series. You guys are amazing.

I can't say I know what the purpose of the game is but I do appreciate the games advice after. With how many question it asks it is kinda neat with what it follows up with. I also enjoy discussing my answers with friends who watch me answer the questions honestly because it helps to understand each other better so it's quite nice to be able to be so in-depth about things.

Also, it is very important to punch a Nun, I am kinda curious what the nun has done to them to deserve such animosity.

Surprisingly, this sequel did not evoke as strong of a feeling as I was expecting. The first game in the series made me think a lot harder about the questions. However, this game was still enticing and I very much enjoyed playing it; the very ending in particular (where you say thank you) did push the emotions out a bit. As simple as something as such that I even know isn't directed specifically towards me made me feel the way I felt... it was nice to hear those words, even for a brief moment. I'm still excited to see this project and I hope I can be a part of it. And thank you guys for making these games.

as of now, I've played every one in the trilogy, all of them have sparked the truth in me and have made me cower at it. only to make me realize that I'm more human than i want to be and its ok to be human, and i should start listening to my motivation side rather than the side that feeds my depression, it shows how much more i still need to grow and become better, maybe one day the anger management classes will come in handy lol. anyways, if your looking for three cool games that spark something deep within you or make you see something you know but haven't R E A L L Y looked at then i 100000% recommend even if your just playing to play its still a good experience, my three secret words are: Justice, Self care, Revelation. i feel like I'm a huge mix of all of these secret words, justice boosted my confidence, self care told me to quit being so hard on myself and to take a break, while revelation told me straight up that even when i say i don't care, i care way to much and i should loosen up around my friends and trusted family.

[Full Breakdown]

I tried not only this game, but all of their subsequent games that are linked in this series. I was more shocked than I was disappointed, in the realization that these games are really low tier copy/paste personality test questionnaire's, paired with some really lame attempts at humor and horror.

After reading the reviews, I was hoping these would be an interesting set of games that might give a glimpse into some personality/mental traits or quirks. As I am a person who is always looking to re-evaluate myself and my mindset and look for fresh perspectives. However these games, questions, and their results (as well as the people who positively reviewed these games) are shallow. Intellectually deficient, and immature.

**These are GREAT games, for low IQ individuals, base normies, and people who really are easily amused and understand little about the world and themselves. Or for apathetic and bored individuals who just want a laugh**

"Woah bro, why so harsh? Its just a RPG maker game. What do you know?" Shh, I'll show you.

These games have a series of questionnaires that have repeating questions in each game, questions that have literally no determination on the outcome of your 'assessment', and some random and cringy attempts at humor, horror, and shock value questions that are meant to make smart people feel uncomfortable and stupid people feel like its intriguing.

So lets give some examples. We have such gems as;

"Would you rather f*** your parents in your partners body, or a partner in your parents body?"
"Are you kinky? Have you Jerked off into a fish bowl?"
"Are you aware i'm standing behind you?" "Whats that shadow across the room?" "Is your mouth dry right now? Was that you that farted?"
"Are you aware that the first letter of the last 10 questions spells P e r i o d B l o o d ??!" Even though that's 11 letters and every question starts with 'Are', 'Do', 'Have'. Spooky...

These are not psychological evaluation questions, they aren't funny. (Unless you are mentally underdeveloped) These questions have no determining factor on your results at the end.

Speaking of your end results. Each game gives you a 'final word' that is suppose to represent you and your answers, and then gives you a small tidbit of what it thinks your inadequacies are.

My words were; Understanding, Gifted, Order.

The end of each game they mention that these words will be important later on and that you will need them once you have finished playing the final game. As well as giving you a warning if you try to play them out of order and referencing you to play the prior games.(Obviously wanting to you purchase all 3, because money yall.)
Spoiler, you don't need them. There is no area to plug all 3 in and somehow find some deeper meaning. Its just to give you 3 vague words that you can generalize and believe what you will.

The words mean nothing and are basically triggers for important questions you had answered in the test. Say 8-12 questions are 'trigger questions' and based on how you answer, it will determine your word. The rest are just to take up time and literally don't matter.

All in all, the games took 30-45min each of my life and offered no real insight other than RPG maker devs really don't have as much talent as they should considering they should make up for talent where they lack in budget. But what do I know? The games have thousands of positive reviews from normies (mostly due to youtubers like Markiplier featuring it). But then again, these are the same type of people who would post "Re-post this message 10x in 7 days, or your dog will get type 2 diabetes" or reject being friends with someone based on horoscopes or some sh**.

Anyways, I would rate this a 1/10 and would not recommend anyone play it. Thanks o/

what a great sequel. I love the new varieties of questions provided, and all are just as if not more thought-provoking than the previous game. Fate's design is also very cool, in a creepy-yet-pleasant way. The ending to this one once again made me emotional because i feel seen by what Fate says and I both hate and love how true it is. I don't regret buying the bundle and playing through the trilogy straight up, lol.

treydence mysliwiec
treydence mysliwiec

another great test my secret word for the first was love now it is talented i like that it had segments so we get new questions
i think there are more questions that can be asked like do you think your insane or a sociopath or psychopath if tho help or not tho but other one could help to may not be all to helpful as i think it is tho but the test is still great with great people in them one think could also help if it is possible to link the games somehow so that the questions ask before are also already answered in the next game that would leave more space for new questions but if asking the same question again get a new answer then things could change so then you could have it remember what answer was said before but ask the same thing to see if there is a change ether way great test now on to the last one then the testing chamber

Al Shabib
Al Shabib

feels similar in practice to a Tarot reading (the idea being to use symbolism or analogy to engage the subconscious). to the uninitiated it may seem like just a questionnaire with the goal being to produce a set of branching end points based on output but the actual goal is to get the concious mind of the participant to interact with their subconcious by presenting hypotheticals they would not ordinarily consider in standard waking life and then self examine on those by having to answer a question. the end result is somewhat irrelevant, its the questions themselves that are the end not the means.

This game just sends you on a journey of self-discovery, even if in the end the results don't match you it makes you question "Where did I lie to myself?". Some questions are fucking hard to answer and that's good.

But in all honesty, I won't punch a nun unless she wants to punch me...or if she is into it?...

I hate (in a good way) that this game flings me across so many emotions that make me laugh, cry, get spooked, or just plain disgusted lol. What a very odd, very unique experience this is, and I still can't get over that this was done using what I think is the RPG Maker platform. I've let that thing collect dust for years but now I kinda want to try and do something with it thanks to your inspiration! Thank you for these very interesting games, experiences, and advice.

Very nice game, I recommend this sincerely, made me realize that instead of thinking about what to do all the time and wasting that you should just act, and begin.

The developers of this game and all the other games made by Randumb Studios found themselves a winning formula.
Not only that they managed to give players the feel of self importance all throughout their games by asking them random questions about the way they would do things in various theoretical situations (essentially asking players how they would run the world), but the developers also managed to make a positive review generator by encouraging the players to write in the store page their "secret word", which isn't unique to every single player but is unique enough to make most players feel special.
Some players won't post their secret word but those who do, those who "want to make their voice heard" (probably because the developers promised that the "secret word" would mean something later on) would obviously not give the game thumbs down while doing so.
Since the game is so cheap and the developers seem to care about their customers most people won't refund it either.
Now all the developers need to do is to just take this very successful formula and use it in another project, while changing things up a little bit to call it a 'new game' and make more money (WHICH THEY DID).

Honestly I didn't learn anything new about myself while playing this game, but I learned the developers are incredibly smart, and they deserve their earnings and their positive reviews. Good job!

I just had to play this after playing the first one. It made me laugh several times, but also had a lot of positive things to say and gave me things to think about. I will definitely be playing the third game!

Absolutely loved this, as soon as I finished the first installment og this series I purchased this one and the third. Currently preparing myself for the third one, though i had to express my gratitude towards this game as its very funny with the horror gags but outside of its horror persona it really holds some true and wise statements. Im not sure if every response is different based on your choices but I still encourage those to buy this for the experience even if its the same (which I higly doubt) the experience of the game is fun and worth it nonetheless

The first game in the trilogy was more emotional to me. This one had a bit more comedic relief.
Some of the questions are weird and uncomfortable but will not affect you in the long run (hopefully).

The questions were much more unsettling this time around and the game felt longer. My ending didn't really hit me hard like the previous game but it's still kind of true and I enjoyed it either way.

Finally got to play this one after some time after playing the first installment of the series and like the first, I truly enjoyed it! The spooky atmosphere, wacky humor, all tied up neatly with words I feel we all need to hear at the end of it all is really a unique concept and one I would recommend for others to experience.

Little bummed out I got the same results twice. The description for my ending was almost identical to the first, with more emphasis on time. I suppose it goes to show how accurate my results were?
It was still interesting to play though. I do appreciate the humorous lines that were thrown in from time to time. They gave me a good chuckle. I know some reviews are complaining that these secret words is a way for the developers to get free positive reviews and comments but I don't think it's that big of a deal, especially for a game this cheap. Either way, it's a creative method that the creators thought of and decided to utilize for their own game.

Like many who found this series, I was notified of it's existence by Markiplier's playthough of it back in March. When I took it then, I was still trying to fool myself into thinking there was nothing wrong with me nor my life, so even though I knew that lying to this test would be lying to only myself (which the game was sure to notify me of), I couldn't prevent myself from doing so. Since then, I've had a massive shift in how I view both my own and other's actions. I've stopped lying to myself and (for the most part) others, but only because I've developed an unhealthy obsession for finding the truth of every matter, of decoding every puzzle, discovering every motive. It's not crippling, nor does it seem to be building a mass of ignored problems waiting to collapse and crush me, but it can be exhausting. This game has finally alerted me to the fact that this obsession really can be a problem, and the only true way I can find happiness is by finding a balance between inquisitiveness and relaxation.
I would like the developers, if they still read these comments, to know that their appreciation for their players is reciprocated in full. Thank you.

Right so... this one was just as introspective as the last one. I was asked a lot of difficult questions. And the final results were just... hurtful. Gave me the answers to things I have been feeling for a long time. I can only hope to find some meaning in the final game. Wish me luck.

Secret Word: Deserving

It's a personality test with a more long-winded fortune cookie at the end. They actually added some sound and visual effects to punctuate certain questions, but it didn't help make the experience any more immersive or creepy. The life lesson at the end was kinda-sorta relevant to me in that vague way all fortunes are, but hardly a revelation. It boiled down to "spend more time with people who care about you and who you care about". No kidding? Thanks?

I wasn't a fan of the change in font. Made the text harder to read. Some of the questions were perverse for the sake of perversion. All attempts at humor failed. I assume with the spelling of words like "colour" that the devs are from the UK. Maybe the creepiness/humor just doesn't translate across the pond? Eh. Another "that's it?" to go along with The Test. Here's hoping the final installment has some sort of pay-off. Maybe a flashed image of someone punching a nun.

If I hadn't bought the series in a bundle, I wouldn't bother playing further, at this point. Despite more questions, and more complicated scenarios/answer options, this took only 15 min or so to complete. If, as this installment says, time is the most valuable thing one possesses, I guess it's good it didn't waste more of mine.

Assuming the point is actually to answer truthfully, there's zero replay value in this "game".

Talented. People have always called me that, but this was the first time it felt... meaningful. I wanted to know that I had value, that I wasn't just known for my talent, but for my virtue. I didn't realize that talent was a virtue. I really appreciate this game. Thank you.

The second game of the Test trilogy series was quite fun. It was slightly longer than the first but with the same price point. The questions were a bit more interesting this time around in my opinion. Looking forward to playing the third game. Would recommend this one if you like these types of things.

The sequel to The Test, this game builds on what was done in the previous game and asks a rather long series of questions to break down who you are as a person. There's a dialogue image for the NPC now, so you no longer have to wander what it looks like up close. I noticed some questions from The Test are repeated in The Test: Hypothesis Rising, but I attribute that to the game figuring out if the player is consistent in their answers from game to game.

My only issues with the game:
- wow, you managed to make the opening screen look worse than the previous game.
- there really needs to be a save feature in case of freezing or sudden shutdowns. Although I was able to play this game without issue, the same can't be said of others that have to deal with it.
