I've been putting this one off for six months now, and everytime I went to play I wasn't really in the mood for an emotional rollercoaster. But today was the day, and WOW. There's not really much I can add that hasn't been said already. The story is an amazing journey of ups and downs that had me riveted from the very beginning. I literally got a bit choked up a couple of times. The characters are just perfect and I adore Vicky as a friend, her intuition and intelligence is extremely high and I'm really enjoying the relationship with her (without any sexual tension).
Hailey is a very clear favorite LI for me, her vulnerability juxtaposed with her confidence is intriguing and I can't wait to see how that develops once she's in a relationship with the MC. Lisa and Sarah are fine, but just can't compare to Hailey for me, and I'm playing this MC as a nice guy and he's not screwing around.
The difference in Emily, whether you're on others path or not is stark and it is some perfect dialogue pathing by
jPk vns. It's something a lot of devs struggle with, but he nailed it.
I was very immersed in the role of MC, as 99% of the time, his reactions and dialogue matched pretty close to what I would do, so that really increased my enjoyment when I don't have to scream at the monitor and call MC a dickhead. He's just a normal guy struggling with all the shit that life has dealt him.
Without hesitation it is straight into my favorites and I eagerly await future updates. I loved every minute of it so far.
