Randomly saw this game in someone's signature and liked the look so decided to try it and I will be eternally grateful that I did. I've literally just got finished with everything added so far (burned through all 4 episodes at once naturally) and felt compelled for once to leave a comment just saying this is a really really good game. Like
really good. Really really really good. Maybe already my all time favourite.
I think it's the first game on here that's managed to make me seriously emotional at times, it's at the very least the best I've played in that regard even if a few others may have also managed it. The scenes with Colleen were especially touching but also plenty of other moments too. And despite covering some very serious topics and the like (all of which were handled very respectfully and well might I add) it still managed to have moments that made me literally laugh out loud. Armin is fucking hilarious. I loved all the courtroom drama and DA/Detective stuff too ofc others have made the obvious and apt comparison to thr CSI's but I think it was even better and maybe reached BCS tier for that stuff for me.
I haven't even brought up the obvious best bit yet, which is the overarching story and plot. It gripped me very early on and managed to deliver even more as I carried on through the chapters. Just an incredibly well written, intriguing story from A to Z (or maybe A to M or something since we've got plenty more chapters to come) and the way you tied the different storylines and their narratives back into each other was exceptionally done. And to wrap it all up, one final cherry on top to cement it as an all timer, the sex scenes are still genuinely great too. Often in games like this you can end up having players stop caring about those (often times I even end up just skipping through them to just get back to the plot lol) and whilst I was of course still eager to get back to the plot here they're were all very well done. Top tier renders, animations, dirty talk and all the rest, even in the dream bonuses.
I don't normally bother reviewing games even the few others I've enjoyed this much but might have to make the effort and write one up (guess I kind of just did) to leave it the 5 stars it 1000% deserves. Great job by all involved and I look forward to whatever comes next
