Version played : Ch.4
Game says choices matter - but there was no player agency in the "first real" choice and it was done so poorly.
Spoilers for the first ~10 minutes incoming.
You are given 2 POVs at the start ; MC and some random bad guy named James. The MC isn't present but James' vile plot of provoking our MC to punch him is showed to us, the player, and our MC doesn't know about it. Fast forward, James provokes our MC, and instead of actually being able to choose how to respond, is, essentially forced to punch him - and that's where I stopped playing.
I was promised impact but I got railroaded into a sequence of events. Being given that other POV makes it even worse.
It would've been much better if:
1) We didn't see the other POV
2) Weren't given false choices or the situation was presented better
3) Author actually wrote and planned for a way to progress the plot if I CHOSE differently (and there was no choice).
So I can't comment on the entirety of the current release, but based on what I played it's not good at all, the renders looked good tho, music was generic.
