ambcrs rated As We Know It

ambcrs rated a game 5 years ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

First off - the art for this is wonderful, the characters are interesting, and the worldbuilding itself drew me in. Unfortunately though, as others have pointed out, the bulk of the story is determined by two choices you make early on. Perhaps more importantly, you make those choices without all the information, and once you've chosen, you're locked in - even once you learn more. By the end of the story, it left me feeling like I had very little control over my own character. I don't need to feel like I'm a super special MC in the grand scheme of the world, but it felt like I was just watching my own character instead of playing her.

Also, given that I got this through the racial justice bundle, I was a little disheartened to see that this game seems to paint protesters as "just as bad" (if not worse?) than the authority figures they protest against. I understand that this is not our world, but even still. That definitely turned me off this game as well, which is too bad, because I really really loved Jude. Overall, this was a 2/5 for me.
