Review of Domino Beach for Episode 1
The main character in Domino Beach is a good looking young man who is on a journey to discovery what he wants do in life, so this chapter gives a small glimpse of that.
Renders and Animations
The renders and animations are among the best in the industry. They surpass the already visually stunning work of the developers previous game, this is undoubtedly the strongest aspect of the game. The lighting, texture and details is all there. Minor flaw is that animation doesnt match the colors of the renders.
Music
While the music does enhance the overall experience, it isn't the best I have encountered.
Writing
The writing has improved since Become A Rockstar, particularly in terms of grammar. However, the dialogues remain somewhat lackluster and can become disengaging after a while. The text conveys the message but lacks the engaging quality that makes you want to keep reading. The humor really lacks in delivery department.
Characters
The female characters are a bit disappointing. Only Carla and the "Cave Explorer" girl stand out to me, while the rest appear rather average or trashy looking. The casting could have been better (the standards were set high from devs previous game).
Choices
So far, the choices presented in the game have been mainly affecting the MC's responses without significant impact on the storyline. I hope for more meaningful choices in future chapters.
Overall Impression
At this early stage, I would rate the game a 3.5 out of 5.
