Review of v0.7...
I want to begin by saying the art in this game is AMAZING!!! Easily one of the best drawn art games I have ever seen.
The characters each have their own distinct personalities. Most come across as very believable. I like most of the characters, except for Perry. He’s the kind of person who ruins it for everybody with his constant petty bitching and moaning over the smallest things.
There are a lot of little character decisions you can make. Such as having Lena get a naval piercing, or choosing topics and major decisions for Ian's book. A lot of work and love went into the creation of this game. I commend the dev.
The writing is solid. A few spelling errors here and there. Nothing major. Just stuff I imagine would have been caught with a proofread.
It does get a little tiresome though when seven chapters in Ian and Lena have dated multiple times, had sex multiple times, monologue their intense feelings for each other, but when asked if they are together, they tell people they are still getting to know each other. Both know what they are doing and what they want the relationship to be, but it’s like both of them are afraid to commit. I can understand not wanting to say it to each other, but not even admitting your feelings about the other to your friends I find a bit unbelievable.
I like the “mini-game” when you play pool. Although when you would play pool it is weird hearing the balls being called “spotted” when every time I play in real life, they are called Solids and Stripes.
This part made me remove a star. As much as I like this game, I think the dual protagonist aspect drags it down a little. Just when you’re getting into the story of Ian or Lena you slam into a brick wall of the game switching to the other character. I got used to it after a while, but it was a persistent issue. At least for me.
I highly recommend this game to everybody. If you pass this one up you will be doing yourself a serious disservice.
