Finally decided to give it a real go yesterday, tried it before but I didn't really get far. But yesterday, yeah, I saw the potential of that game, damn, first, characters have believable personalities, second, the inner turmoil of the MC was something I didn't expect at all, third, I love chess so it got me, fourth, was a bit confused about the skills, but then understood...
Honestly, the story, the narrative, everything, wasn't sure where I was in the game, played for a couple hours (I take my time to read everything, listen to the music, take time to 'feel' games usually), when I finally understood I was probably in for a treat, cause I had just finished CH.1, and I thought I was further than that.
A great AVN so far, for sure.
