Hey Uncle Eugene how is the game going so far? I didn't hop on for quite a while now, life have been keeping me busy busy lately, and I saw that there's like 4-5 pages of posts, so yeah, that's alot of things happening lol
New art style, and while I don't think it looks bad at all, the character redesigns have way less charm than the originals. The "card" game is necessary for progression, I don't think I have to ellaborate on that. There's 3 different ways to corrupt the new girl, but only one is available without the patreon code. And that one was so underwhelming I didn't even bother to relaunch the game after the code dropped. I imagine it's going to be similar to how Rapunzel was in chapter one, but I'm just guessing. There's one animated scene, with one... position? for each corruption method. These corruptions are linked to a stat system, and I don't think we know how to increase those yet other then the one time we have a chance in the story.
I don't think Salty knows what we, or at least I want. The spin-off was a flop because the main gameplay loop, the card game, is ass. And it doesn't have any character's I care about. I know it's a bit silly to say, but the reason I kept coming back is because I grew attached to the characters. Paradoxically I'd say one of the biggest problem of chapter 2 was that we spent way too much time with the crew. Then we threw away all that time spent for the spin-off's nobodies, and now in chapter 3 Tinker somehow talks a lot without saying anything, and Meli just introduces us to the chapter's gimmick, and that is it. Why should I care about somebody new? Well of course you can say to have a wank, but what's after that? The new girl is kinda funny, but is that really supposed to keep me moving forward? When the art is arguably worse, every goddamn action is interrupted by the card game, the girl isn't even worth it, and I can't interract with the characters I want to... And there's that inevitable feeling with the different paths that oh yeah, I'll have to do it two more times (if it works how i think it does with the stat stuff), so I shouldn't get invested anyways... So why bother?
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Anyways, sup goloro, hope you doing fine.
