I disagree with ur attitude but it is true that the game didnt start well and is getting worse (imo)
the background arts looks good because they are grabbed from the internet. However the hand drawn pictures would always look terrible compared to the background. The dev did try hard to improve the pictures but it would always be awkward when dev's characters are placed on the backgrounds. I'd rather the dev make their own backgrounds but I understand it would be too time consuming. I just think differenecs in art style in a game is more annoying than poor graphics.
There are also problems how the backgrounds are used, say when MC went to college:
"i wear a bright smile on my face and went out" background of MC's house, ok;
"walk toward the subway, took the train" background of the platform,
"reached my college" background of the college, (could have skipped last scene and say sth like "I took the subway to my college")
then theres MC's thought, background remains the same
"May I come in teacher"
"Come in Ashton" why does the background still stays the same here? (college's entrance)
"I sat in my seat, I look around for Damien but he is nowhere to be see" why say sat in my seat? is the seat special? is it close to someone or is it close to the window? You won't normally mention the seat unless you want to elaborate on it right? nowhere to be "seen" but im not bothered by that.
The above took 7 clicks/scene and was not even eventful. Nothing special happened. Why do you need a background for the subway if nothing happens there? Why does the background remains the same when MC talks to the teacher?
There are also alot of description about unimportant stuff like "took my returning train and reached the nearest Station from my house" just who fucking write like that? Why is it important to mention it is the nearest station? It would be good to mention if you get off one stop early and walk home from there. You don't just describe something for nothing. There are also lots of opening doors, closing doors, just all these unimportant stuff taking up the word count for NOTHING.
why are games boring sometimes? this is one of the reason: the dev waste all their previous words describing things no one cares about.
The alley scene is removed from the game but the next scenes still refer to that scene. New players would be so confused. This is where I think the game is getting worse. Also without that scene, without the mental break down, I don't see why MC and blake can progress so quickly.
The writing and graphics weren't good to begin with, now even the story is getting inconsistent, I don't know if theres anything good left in the game.
