I gave this a try and the renders didn't look too bad, but he's using some kind of smoothing tool so that he doesn't have to let the renders bake too long and it's off putting for me.
I also didn't like the story, there is a lot of missed language, where I'm assuming the dev isn't a native English speaker, the best example I can give is when the girl in the bar says, "I heard you were off the hook", when asked to serve him a drink. Now I'm assuming she meant, "I've heard you were on the wagon", meaning that he wasn't drinking anymore, which the story till then had inferred, because "off the hook" doesn't make any kind of sense.
So anyway, deleted.
