THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS
First off i have to say, the starting warning scared me a bit, while I understand the story of this game being far more important than just a usual "go here, do this, fuck that" type of game.
Your warning put a slight fear in me that I wasn't going to not only no have any "content" but i was going to be bogged down with a literal novel of info like i'm playing some browser based HTML game.
Well, you got me to pay attention and holy hell was every second worth it.
I'm not sure what parts really hooked me, but something about how loving this family can be and are really got me.
So lets breakdown some of my favorite bits.
I really enjoyed a change up from the usual white family, even though it doesn't come up or magically change anything in a BIG way it's a nice break from the norm.
I usually name characters in games off of mythology pantheons, so getting to use the Hindu deities as names made above point resonate even bigger.
The oldest daughter's dream revealing her last words to her mother really bring her character fully into view, i enjoy that even early she had such an attachment to her father that made her constantly at ends with her mom.
The youngest daughter's anxiety mirrored a lot of my early years, I am curious to see where the rest of the story goes with her.
Off of this, the museum trip is one of my favorites, foreshadowing some events for our characters but also a neat little twist on the girls in the painting mirroring our own; just flipped.
Where we think the oldest is running the show it turns out the youngest in her own way is pushing the boundaries.
Big spoiler
I liked that seeing that earlier convo with Brooke, something that even with the two options ; I didn't think would really mean ANYTHING actually turned into a huge story pointer when you find out the man you fired was the cause of your wife's death.
I can't wait for more, I need to see where the story goes and branches out to!
P.S: I need more scene's with Macy(?) and what happened when we were drunk at the cabin on the final night!!
