I haven't finished this up yet, close to the end of Day 5, but I must say... that phone call scene in the living room with Steve and Jane, I really wish we coulda had to option to shut that shit down, that shit was dumb. (IMO)
I wouldn't have minded it if it wasn't during a serious scene (yes I know it was meant to be some comedic relief, but for me it didn't work), and if it woulda been something we agreed on, not something just sprung on us out of nowhere. I was just hoping the whole time that there would be an option to hang the call up, but it never came and then they leave the room... I skipped through most of it, that's the first time during the game so far that I had felt the need to skip through anything. (well besides some of the internal monologues the MC has, some of those are also awfully annoying)
That brings me to my only other problem with the game so far, which is a more prominent part of the game, and that's the MC himself, his internal monologues have to be my least favorite part of the game. The MC comes off unconfident and like a loser during these, always putting himself down, and sometimes rambling on for way too long instead of just getting shit done. (Yes it's his character flaws, but god sometimes it's too much) I really hope he starts to man up later on in the story, cause sometimes the MC is bearable, but often times I just find myself not being able to relate in anyway to the MC.
As far as everything else though, it's been great, I don't have many complaints. The positive definitely outweighs the negative for me so far. I like the narrative so far, and the characters other than the MC I have also thoroughly enjoyed. I also appreciate that the girls (on the dual love path for reference) didn't just both instantly jump all over the MC, and that when Cassie found out, she didn't just accept it but instead it caused a lot of drama that they had to take the time to resolve.
I'm not going to leave a formal review for now, but I would definitely give this a 4 out of 5 stars, I would give it at least a 4.5 if the MC didn't annoy me so much.
