A buried gem!
(Be sure to get familiar with "Life is Strange" before you play Strange Nights.)
The game with the greatest potential on this site!
That may have sounded a bit over the top, especially considering that I'm obviously not familiar with all games here.
But I can't imagine what needs to be done better to outperform potential(!) of this masterpiece.
Is it the best game out there? No, of course not.
If the author had finished it to a logical end - perhaps it could have moved from "one of the best" to the "THE BEST" category.
Unfortunately there is just not enough content right now and there will probably be no further updates....
Nevertheless, this game is fantastic and surely goes to the "one of the best" games to accompany a few other games.
Other than the small amount of content, I can't really say anything negative about this game.
It doesn't even feel like a parody, it feels like a part of LiS world, one of the alternative timelines. Moreover, this game in some way gently polishes and corrects many flaws of the original characters, in my opinion they all became better. Perhaps due to the fact that here we look at the world through the prism of a much more "adult" character.
Humor - I loved it, there were at least a few moments where I laughed a lot.
Visual - as close to the original, as possible!
Story - One of those games that you can play just for the story, I guess. Too little content to say for sure, but even so the story is very good.
Sex Scenes - They're well done!
Like I said incredible potential:
Victoria - an excellent opportunity for two main branches where either she dominates Mark or he dominate her. And the whole scene with Vic in the classroom is probably the only one in this game to get into or atleast get close to "one of the best sex scenes".
Well, everyone has their own tastes of course, one of the things that I like is "domination", both male and female. If you are not into that stuff, perhaps it will do nothing for you, but still there are not all that many scenes that I remember from different games, this one with Victoria is one of them. There was a huge potential for a choice like "submit to her" and then this branch would go into femdom with Victoria and maybe her two "girlfriends" or on the other side "dominate Victoria" with about the same development as we saw in the game, where as a result we would have the opportunity to make her our obedient plaything.
Kate - once again, great potential. The scene with her is good, not perfect, but good. Cutesy and innocent. Let's corrupt shy, religious cutie! Would have given the Kate scene more credit, but unfortunately the best scene I've seen in this genre set the bar too high. And I don't really like innocent/shy girls. Anyway compared to the best scene I've seen, the Kate scene is only about a 5/10 or maybe 6/10, but again a very high standard, objectively more like 8/10 with future potential.
Rachel - a bit of a disappointment
No, her scenes are high quality and well-done, but the character doesn't really resonate with me, she wasn't alive(!) in the original game, so unlike the others, she's just some +- sexy girl.
Don't get me wrong, objectively the scenes with her are quite good, on par with the best games on this site. But her scenes are a bit "boring" in terms of the fact that it's basically "ordinary" sex, and in addition Rachel does not cause any emotional response from me, but this is mostly the fault of the lack of Rachel as a separate individual in the original game.
Overall the game is amazing, I would say that in many aspects it beats the original, the author was able to make the game more mature (and I'm not only talking about 18+), dark and at the same time sarcastic and fun.
