3.5
Summary:
An interesting game talks about a damaged mc in not so realistic world with other damaged people, going to college, and trying(or not your choice) to make his life become normal.
Extraordinary aspects of the game:
The character development in the game is unique and good a the same time, sadly it only starts to take full force only around the third chapter.
What is good:
Render - the girls look great. Character development is unique and interesting. Intro animations are amazing with only make those moments stronger with the music that is added to them. Different choices will give different branches of events with is surprisingly rarely done.
What is bad:
A lot of bad.
The world is mostly unrealistic, especially the reactions of people around to some of the events and their behavior to each other. The timeline looks crooked too, the MC gets jacked in two days and the girls blame genetics, I blame fairy magic.
In the first two chapters, there is an issue of the characters jumping to conclusions and leaving the player confused, look at what can be made better to understand.
The flying hair everywhere is weird… but I think that is nitpicking, oh and the flying USB is funny.
What can be made better:
Time issues like the MC getting fit in two days, Victoria getting out of hospital just in half a day stuff like that easily fixed and needed to be fixed, the game shouldn’t be crammed into a week.
Issue of the characters jumping to conclusions:
Examples:
The gun scene at the start of the game, it’s the fucking pouring rain, and the MC talking stupid shit about killing the girl that got into an accident to stop her misery, and immediately the driver pulls out a gun and starts to threaten the MC.
People don’t act like that, the first reaction of people to unexpected situations is doubt, the right move would be is to add a normal human reaction instead of a character jumping to conclusions like this.
MC: “A simple cut.”
MC: “Right here.”
MC: “To save her from the pain she’s going to suffer as soon as she awakes.”
Driver: “What did you say?”
The MC snaps at the driver.
MC: “I said, wouldn’t it be better to help the girl out of her misery instead of letting her suffer because of what you did!”
The driver runs back to the car and grabs the gun and the scene continues as it was.
The Sonya bus drive was another example where the MC just jumped to conclusions and I don’t know if that scene isn’t finished or something but it looks more like a scene between mind readers than a normal human conversation.
And those two are just those that I remembered there more of them in the first two chapters, funny enough this thing vanishes in the 3 and 3.5 chapters.
My opinion:
It’s a really hard nut for me, personally I didn’t like the first two chapters at all. They gave me a strong feeling of an unrealistic world, weird behavior and weird conversations between characters. I even almost dropped the game because of this and was surprised why people gave this game such high scores.
But I sat around some more and got to the third chapter, from there characters get more development they turn from one-dimensional into something more realistic. You start to understand that the MC really got some issues and isn’t just some edgy weirdo that all talks, yes at the beginning that was exactly what I thought.
Oh, right I loved that the MC and the characters around him notice the out-of-character changes you force the MC into(he was a loner but suddenly you force him to be very social), with quite interesting as many devs tend to ignore this.
In the end, the game is quite interesting but the two first chapters leave a bad aftertaste in the mouth, I can see that the devs really have devoted themselves to the game but it still has many issues and because of them, I think that the game is underperforming.
In my opinion, it’s a good game but that is that. I come back to it later to see how it develops I have some good expectations for it.
Ps: I don’t give a fuck that there are no sex scenes in this game I am more of a good story person, and the story only starts to make sense from the third chapter.
