So... I gave it a try despite having it on ignore list for whatever reason. That is actually pretty good game, there are couple things I didn't like but it's more of a personal preference I guess.
Story build up (especially at the beginning) was kinda weird. I get that is was intended to be mystery-like but nevertheless player should be aware of things happening to MC if MC is aware of them. It took me a while to understand that MC was going to the college although it's still not clear what kind of college it was since they were 10 years in there.
Why it "took me a while"? Well... They were kinda too young for college (15yo), why did they go there by bus from in-front of the school, why bus driver knew MC... No college takes 10 years, first time we see MC in dorm and he is jacked as fuck so another "wtf" on my face since we didn't know at this point how many years passed. Actually first time I saw him ripped I was like "that's just stupid, it would take like 10 years of taking steroids, being on strict diet and workout schedule to be this ripped" and it actually took 10 years lol.
Pandemic? No internet, no TV, no phone? This Korean chick was supposed to join MC in there next year and suddenly it is 10 years later? And they have no idea what happened, no contact with parents or whatever? Tiny Tony had phone so he surely knows if things really went south in the world but he's not acting like it, neither guys at the gas station so it's all weird as fuck... Tiny Tony is making party so the ruined city we see at the end is probably kinda "joke" or something, either way I don't buy this story so far...
Other than that, writing is surprisingly good, dialogues are pleasant to read, characters are unique and normal (it's barely chapter one but after this bus trip I already started to feel attached to some of them), renders are mostly very good, a lot of male characters which is rare thing... So yeah, overall it is quite nice game so far, only main plot is confusing as fuck and we need to wait for another updates. For now story is on thin border between being interesting and bullshit one, I hope it will be the former.
edit: I've just read game's description which gives more sense now to the whole story, it should be in-game tho...
