I love the concept of this story, there are way too many "MC returned home after so many years blah, blah, blah". Had to think on this one since playing through again day latest update dropped.
If only the MC could be made a little bit more of an Alpha (Action Hero) like the MC's in "Deliverance" or "Alison Fall of the Apple" instead of the Beta he comes across as at the moment, I mean come on the guy has had the determination to find out the truth about his father since he was a kid and has done everything to make that happen. Could be done mostly through dialogue. Don't get me wrong. Boss move pushing his ex-partner out of the way and kept walking, loved it. But finding out what we have so far in the story I am thinking anyone would be a lot more "Fox Mulder" not knowing who to trust (the new girl friend), places could be bugged (his & family home), etc, etc. And after initially using ability not taking crap (given ultimatum to join agency. Choice words could have been spoken about threat of family, Liam Neeson/Taken comes to mind).
This has the true potential to be in the top 10 re-playable stories of all time not having the same generic storyline, if it were just a true choose your own adventure it has the potential to be. The story could be split off in different/several directions giving different outcomes and more diversity (I find choosing which question to ask first in a conversation when you will ask them all anyway just stupid giving people an allusion of choice).
MC slept with Amber, but after Run in with Haruka & Samantha maybe the option of inviting her into family home is optional (can she be trusted, convenient timing/was mugging staged) taking her part of story in two or three possible directions of trusting her or trying to uncover her true motives/use powers on her without loosing her if she is innocent). I think the option to join either side or take the family and work independently with mother could make an excellent option greatly expanding the story and making multiple play through's to uncover all scenes like the "Acting Lessons" story. As it stands I also can't understand why the MC wasn't given the option to keep his conversation with Haruka to himself or approach his mother telling her to cut the crap and spill the beans letting her know what's gone down (could of had the whole turn on the shower to have conversation in case the place is bugged/Do we tell the sisters, etc, etc).
So if developers read this, please take it as purely constructive criticism on my part. I do really love the idea of the story, it comes across as an action movie in the making (with lots of sex
). But after playing through hundreds of titles, most creators have not grown making it very easy for their work to be forgotten and only those few to be remembered, recommended to friends and family and played again and again.
Good luck! Can't wait to see more!
