This game is ragebait, I'm just at the beginning and the main character believes some sketchy looking guy on the train at face value but is warned by both the taxi driver and woman at the restaurant saying the same thing and doesn't believe them.
This game does not seem anywhere near a realistic depiction of characters and is not psychologically believable. The main character has literally zero survival instincts and we are supposed to believe that she trusts someone she literally just met to go to a seedy motel and believes Alex who looks like that.
The problem is that the creator of the game knows that it's unbelievable because of how the taxi driver and woman are written, which makes it genuinely irredeemable that she continued with it. The way the main character talks to herself really feels like she should be able to think way more critically and it just doesn't match her decision making which makes this game feel so unrealistic even though it's trying to sell itself on having believable characters
Then the main character talks to the owner of the cafe "Jeff" and tells him about what Marlene said and he tells her "it's not true" and she just immediately believes him. HUH!? Of course, the guy who wants to take advantage of you would have no reason to lie so he must be telling you the truth. The whole problem with this game is how the main character is written, She is supposed to be innocent but doesn't speak like she is. She talks like she is highly educated but has the worst decision making in the world. She's probably blind since she only trusts the ugly looking characters (is that a fetish I'm not into?)
Nevermind the fact that almost every single turn someone is trying to convince her to do the "extra" work that Marlene warned her about. But she doesn't think that's weird at all and still thinks that Marlene is trying to scare her away.
It would have been excusable if the taxi driver didn't warn her at all and Marlene either didn't exist or didn't warn her because since these characters exist you can't tell me that she is just innocent but for some reason only trusts the shady people.
It's hard to explain but if English is NOT your main language you can probably ignore the problems but understanding English makes me so confused about the decision making.
