Review version: Pilot Episode
Definitely an interesting game with decent writing. For those who care only about this detail, there's no sex yet in this pilot episode (awwww?! ) but still some nudity (yay! ).
The pilot emphasizes the cultural differences between the protagonist and the refugees. The differences may be obvious, but the writer doesn't rush to solve them by soothing dialogue, but seems to allow the player to first discover the more intricate implications. What helps, is that the main character seems to have his own past with internal conflicts as well, making him reluctant (for now) to rush into anything other than helping those in need.
Definitely a story to keep an eye on, and I do hope the developer plans for many episodes. The angle of the story may not be completely unique (though still rare in my opinion), but it's interesting enough to make something that goes on for a year or two without need to constantly introduce new "features" and "unlocks". Apart from the antagonist, I don't think there will be a further need for introducing characters or abilities from "the other world". Maybe in a next season if HighbornTiger finishes this story sometime. But the current setup is already as good as it needs to be for the current storyline.
