There's a lot of Max Payne references in this VN so far:
-Similar theme song
-There's another track later on that sounds VERY similar to one in Max Payne 3 when the MC is drinking whiskey whilst shirtless (which is a common occurrence in the third game)

-MC's default name is Max
-Has nightmares
-Has a drinking problem like in the third game
-MC's appearance is similar to Max's in the third game
-"Pulling the Trigger is a binary choice" is a quote from the 2nd game.
Renders are very high quality, but the writing is a bit drawn out and bland. There's a lot of dialog about characters the player hasn't even met so it's hard to really care. I also can't help but feel there's a lot of discussion about things that would've been more interesting to witness rather than just hear about. The MC references having sex about 4 or 5 times during his time away, and let's be honest, there's a reason we're playing these sorts of games. Doesn't help that the game references one of the best-written video games series ever with all the nods to Max Payne.
Still, I wish the developer luck. With renders this good and some sharper writing, they've got themselves a good VN.
