Finished the first three chapters that were available. I like the eerie atmosphere of this game. I'm only vaguely familiar with the Lovecraftian literature and I know I missed out some references but it didn't affect too much.
It's refreshing to play with female MC without the usual clichés. To me, Alice is relatable character and having to deal with harassment from key plot figures felt like difficult balancing between the quest progress and personal boundaries. I paused the game several times to think between two choices. The groping and sexual jokes are uncomfortable to deal with (but often lead to some sort of progress) and that's where the dev has done good job, in my opinion. It keeps you on your toes and you constantly question the motives of people (I would've slapped Leon already).
MC feels like real person with believable qualities and flaws, and this I like a lot. She's headstrong, smart, but also playful and prone to make mistakes like any other person. Other characters feel authentic too, and everyone is a different person. I especially mention Carlos, who feels like interesting character.
Story and characters are both great and I applaud this game for not once making me feel like I had a moment that was totally unconvincing or poorly written. Story is a slow burn and pacing is great except sometimes I feel like jumping between two locations is bit too hasty. Some renders are excellent but overall the render quality is average. Music fits the mood and sound effects were used in appropriate spots. There were hardly any grammar or spelling errors, which I always highly value. If the dev can increase the render quality a bit and fill the often too empty scenes with more objects/characters, I'd give this 5 stars in the future. Definitely worth checking out.
