I was watching a reviewer on YouTube a while ago , i think it was about new star wars game and he was talking about how underwhelming the characters were and what makes game characters great is how memorable they are. After a week, i still remember the names of most of the characters from this game with their stories and personalities and in my opinion that is the main thing which makes this game great.
When i decided to try it after all those good reviews i was also playing rdr 2. And guess what, i didn't play any rdr for 3 days while i was busy with DIK. Good story, nostalgic setting, amazing characters, interesting gameplay, great soundtrack and use of it, good visuals, hilarious moments and so on... It is really easy getting into this world thanks to authors skills.
My only complain would be about the artistic choices related to design of the female characters. Most of them having huge breasts, faces with defined cheekbones and heavy make up kinda takes away that realistic feeling which i believe developer wants to create. But i guess this is quite subjective. p.s i really don't like Maya's hair, i think it doesn't suit her at all.
This is definitely a great game and not your particular VN you can encounter around this website. Wish it was sold as a finished product and we wouldn't have to wait. Another thing worths mentioning is, I hope the author won't push for any unnecessary drama just for the sake of it, for incoming episodes and instead things will develop naturally. You don't have to break our hearts just because you told it before we start the game Dr CuntMuncher.
Anyway... 5/5
