I hate to give this game a bad review because I do see how much work has been put into it, and I also see what they were going for. But with that in mind there are multiple issues that make this game very undesirable to play. I am sure that throughout development many of them can be solved but until that happens I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who isn't as patient as a saint.
1. The transition time between scenes is too long. I have a very fast computer and I would say the transition between areas is around 2-5 seconds, which might not seem like a lot but when you are talking about going between hundreds of scenes it adds up quickly.
2. I see what they were going for with their 3 modeling and I think it is a unique and valid method to create a game like this but the issue that I have is that the quality of the assets have suffered as a result. I got a massive "uncanny valley" vibe from this game where the character just looked like very strange representations of humans. The shading and textures of things like faces and bodies was all wrong and just didn't give me a great feeling and was not attractive.
3. Its kind of strange how literally everyone hates the main character from the start, you can't talk to your mom, your sister, your teacher, or even your supposed friends, just plays out as if no one has any time for your character, I see why they might want to make that choice as it gives them something to build up too, but this experience felt a bit excessive.
4. The town doesn't look very good, just like many of the other environments it seemed kind of lifeless and sterile, and the reference points weren't particularly attractive. I think that there should be more non essential assets in the game to give it some life, if you are going to develop a 3d environment for interactive scenes in every place you go then you should make it seem more alive and fill it with more assets. What is the point of being able to pan around your bedroom if the only things of importance are a computer and a bed, and aside from those 2 things the room is barren.
To be fair I did not spend a lot of time playing this game, it immediately had multiple glaring flaws that made it unplayable for me, that is not to say that others wont find enjoyment in it, I just did not. I think with an update to the art style of the main characters, a better looking town, perhaps with labels that are always visible, and a smoother transition between scenes this game could be a gem, but in its current state I am going to have to pass.
This is a review of version 0.42 Beta 1
