It has been awhile since I was obsessed, impressed and invested on a storyline from a game. The opening music is beautiful and it expresses so well the journey you will follow through the game. It was a great experience. I loved the MC, she had quite some depth and I loved that quite early on the story you can grasp that she isn't what she seems, which is more shown than told which I loved. Her dynamics with all of the love interests are so well written and tragic that you can't help but ship her with them all (even tho my heart has been stolen from my baby boi Noah not gonna go in details). I usually don't enjoy the time travel stuff in stories, cause often they aren't written well or it becomes the main point of the story rather than that being the characters in the story, so I loved that this game focused more on developing the characters first before the whole time traveling became a mechanic in the game. The mental health issues themes in this game were tackled well in the game, in my opinion, the struggles of dealing with them while going through strenous situations. I loved the mystery elements in the story, I was able to figure out some of the plot twists along the way, but even when I figured out later on after replaying a few playthroughs some of details I had missed or didn't know the context beforehand, it made me take notes and theorise what can be revealed on act 3( very excited for the release next year). I was happy to see how much you can fall in love for these characters and how much you root for them, I didn't cry in any parts but my GOD WAS MY HEART BROKEN INYO PIECES AND PAIN. I usually don't theorize for stories in general cause I'm lazy and awful and love to see what people that actually love to research found out, but since there were barely any theories out there, I decided to take initiative myself!! SO PLEASE GUYS!!! PLAY THIS GAME IT IS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE!! I NEED MORE THEORIST INVESTED FRIENDS PLZ AND THANK YOU!! And one last thing, the art of course was cheff's kiss!! Loved the mini cg art and I loved how expressive were the facial expression of the sprites especially on act 2, cause my god I really became infatuated and addicted staring at Edmund while he flaps his baby blue eyes towards me lmao
ALSO LONG HAIR HENDRIX WAS A HIT I NEVER KNEW MY TINY HEART NEEDED!! I will definitely draw him and my god his route in act 2, it exhausted this heart so much, it really felt like I was fighting for him as mc GOSH!! As you can tell from my comments I LOVED ACT 2, it was such a rollercoaster! And the few last chapters of ACT 1 were also my fav!! Now gonna wait excitedly for act 3 to see where the origin of this story is and you have got a long time fan for your future games! :)
