Came back to this game after sort of forgetting about it after V0.3 or so. Why the fuck did the story have to become so convoluted towards the end???
I'm so confused...
From telling a story of 2 people bonding and finding passion for each other in pure isolation it just had to go full blown Ryan Johnson and "subversion of our expectations". Don't get me wrong - it was still an enjoyable experience where the consequences of certain actions (finally) mattered, combined with beautiful renders, but it just feels so rushed with the final act to the point where I can't give a shit apart from anything but "Bella", making 3/6 endings just hard to play really. Also the whole betrayal storyline just feels weird and unnecessary, like an afterthought just for drama's sake.
Seeing where HTH is going right now, xRed had something going in terms of deeper psychological issues and barriers surrounding the whole forbidden concept of f/d relationship, which would have been interesting to explore, while providing uniqueness to the game plot, but instead they have chosen a typical hollywood twist path.
What are your thoughts on the game as a whole?
