Oh boy. Okay, I finished this reboot, and I gonna be completely honest here.
You can tell Afterchoices put effort on the characters and made them more realistic. However, I would be lying if I said I loved some of the 'changes' made to them. Gonna miss some old the old characters A LOT, including the way the looked and the dynamics they had with our cute protag. I also liked some of the old characters' introductions in comparison to this new version.
Can't understand why we can get to choose who Sukkhon is. I feel like in the old version the fact that she was a established trans woman gave her strength and depth. Now that was taken away from her, and also it will take some extra time to render both choices for her.
I have to congratulate Afterchoices because the grammar improved drastically, and now it's easier to follow the dialogue and text in general. Now, characters sound more natural when having a convo.
And the way the story started? I liked the dream sequence, but after that, I'm afraid to be brutally honest, but I prefer the pace, the humor and the story of the old version.
While the reboot obviously has its good points, I personally would have wanted to follow the story of the original version, I was waiting eagerly to new updates. Just realized minutes ago that this was a reboot but I wanted to give it a try, so I downloaded, played it, and I must admit I still prefer, in many ways, the old version.
Someone in the thread mentioned Where it all began. Played both versions, and to be honest, that story did need an urgent rework, cause the story was starting to get dull and a little bit too fantastic. Never felt like free pass needed that, cause I always found it so engaging.
At the end of the day, Afterchoices can of course change whatever he likes and do what he wants with his story, but as my final advice (which I know he didn't as for), I'll say "Don't fix what it's not broken".
Best of luck for his project.
The game on the OP is the former Free Pass, right? Is the reboot already available?
