Plot Summary: You are a seemingly normal dude, until you have an encounter with supernatural forces beyond your comprehension. Now you have to learn what to do in a world where there are dangerous beings lurking in the shadows ...
Pros:
+ Very interesting world setting, in an alternate timeline world. The human history part isn't as fleshed out, but that might change with coming updates.
+ Early art is not the best, but it enough to convey what the artist intends, especially in the horror side of things. After a certain point however, both landscapes and characters get noticeably improved.
+ The game has a wide playlist of royalty free music, which at worst provides a fitting tone for any scene that plays and at best it conveys feelings that leave you shaken (You will understand what I say once you hear Grotesque Fantasia, it's what inspired me to write a review in a way).
+ There are no railroads in what decisions you take, you are to blame for whatever decision you take in order to help you survive (and what cost you will pay). Right now there is no specific ending in sight, so enjoy not knowing what is around the corner.
+ The characters are all rather well written. You will see some aspects that are familiar in other media for some of them, but everyone is interesting in their own way, with distinct personalites and agendas compared to one another. Their interactions with the MC range from very nice to amazing, from heart wrenching to exciting.
Neutral:
* Most female characters are top heavy. It was a huge plus for me, but some people might want more focus on other places.
* The gameplay loop is essentially set (for now, a new arc has started and god knows what will happen there). Not a bad thing per se, just something that you may notice. For update 0.99, there are enough unused as of yet variables with obvious importance that leave me concerned.
Cons:
- Some characters are underutilized. The plot is great even without them, most of them are secondary at best anyway, and there aren't that many of them, but I did have to ask myself what was their purpose in the plot at some point.
PLOT RELATED STUFF IGNORE IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED
Review might be updated in the future, probably, I ain't an oracle, but this covers the most essential stuff. The game is made by a solo dev so don't expect weekly updates, but they are big enough to keep you entertained and asking for more.
