So, I just downloaded again and played to finish. I was surprised to see from my old saves that the last time I played was March... last year!
And I still remembered everything. Story, setting, characters, events. That's a big deal. Between life, movies and TV, work, and other games here, it's easy to play a game, get super drawn in, and come time for an update, go to play it only to realize you don't recall events or plot, or what is happening or why, or who many characters are.
At least, that's an issue I struggle with. So, coming back to this game, after 13 months, and having everything as fresh in my mind as a favorite book or movie from years past, is a HUGE compliment to the writing of the game.
The girls are all so unique and beautiful. Their personalities shine through a lot too.
I like how you start as sort of a loser, not a bad guy but a complete putz, and by the end of the game you are a more developed person. Growth like that makes a story a lot more believable.
And while I'm not sure what it will entail, the idea of a New Game+ mode to get people to replay the game and try different paths is very unique, in this genre, and has amazing potential!
My personal hopes?
Spoilers for people who either don't care, or don't want to see... well, spoilers.
