So, I just decided to pick this up a few days ago following a recommendation by
Sancho1969 (thanks man!) and I love it so far (to the end of Ch8). It's a bit different to some of the other games I've played, and you need that sometimes. That novelty value certainly adds a little something to it for me.
I'm a bit conflicted though, because I find Mallory drop-dead gorgeous, and Jaye doesn't quite work for me... but I find it impossible to turn Jaye down, so she will be my ride or die here. Maybe if I had turned her down from the start, it would have been easier, and not lead to a certain night where before dinner you can break a heart, or before sleep you can become the biggest dick ever...
I admit I can be an emotional guy when called for, and I like a good rom-com, but I would never have thought that games like these could pull on the heartstrings. Now, I've found a third game that has brought a genuine tear to my eye, so well-played devs.
