Early review based on V 0.1.2.
Review will be updated as game progresses.
Excellent, promising start.
Though my personal favorite so far, easily top 3 of games/stories using this phone/text concept that I've come across, and I've played more than a few of these "phone" stories.
Things that could be improved:
- The status/gallery doesn't "save" or stay unlocked when starting a new game. Subsequent playthroughs are hard resets. Not a big deal early on, but 100% photos, videos are based on choices, and if full 100% unlock ability diverges onto different paths, the hard status/gallery reset and lack of being able to unlock 100% is going to drive people, like myself, with completionism OCD absolutely crazy...lol I'm currently at 96% photos and it's driving me crazy that I can't find the 1 or 2 I'm missing...
- It's been noted that English is not the dev/writer's primary language. This is obvious in phrasing, wording in the text/story. Wording, phrasing improvements after translations would make this one even better going forward. The lack of quality conversion to conversation English is ok short term, but the lack of quality consistency over a longer period could diminish this product's excellent start and concept.
