VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Emi - The Long Road Home [v1.0] [CellStudios]

An astonishing downgrade. While Emi - New Beginning could be defined as a cliché game, but made with great skill, Long Road is a filler without any creativity.

The total lack of choices is alarming. Don't be fooled. Apparently there are many narrative forks in the game, but if you look closely, they are reduced to just one miserable moment to ask the player if he wants to see or skip the upcoming scene, instead of adding character nuances or making the characters change course. Objectively, the most important decision of the game will be the choice of pajamas for Emi.

The only positive points that make me give 2 stars instead of 1 are the good choice of music, which is strangely never annoying or intrusive, and the animations.

I hope that this Long Road will remain an isolated misstep and that the following episodes will continue the good things of the first iteration.

V1.0 complete

having played the previous offering i was excited for more.
the art is good, maybe even better than before, but it's the rest where it falls somewhat flat.

the choice to make this a separate entity rather than adding it to the starting VN makes this forgettable for me. the beginning started with the MC and his sister getting together. the future will be the MC and sister getting something going that is also just as interesting (best i could come up with at this time of day without spoiling ) making this just the middle bit between that has nice enough imagery and all, but is not really any good as a standalone.

here is a couple in a relationship going on a trip. some minor sex scenes happen. the only hook is the continuity from the first game, otherwise it is really quite forgettable.
this is nothing but a teaser or space filler for the next episode, which is the one the dev should have made to my mind
once the next part is made i suspect this will be obvious to most and i bet many will play part 1 and then skip to part 3.....and why not?
nothing really here to miss

Just like the prequel, it's a short game with quite a few hot scenes. The girls look fine, there are few spelling mistakes and the story is short (perfect for the purpose).

I'm curious to see the continuation of Emi's story in The Cabin.
