Im gonna get jumped for sure for this but the 3d episode was a little weird for me. MC, who is an agent, even poorly prepared/with lost memory, was too passive, haven't figured out the play on words, well, heck, they haven't even questioned it for a second! Aren't they supposed to be motr cautious? Not trusting everything the voice said? Where had their deduction went that they clearly had in previous chapters? Yeah for the sake of the plot maybe they couldn't have thought about it, but after? Why Stefan was the one with revelation about the "prize"? Why MC was so astonished at this, the thought never crossed their mind?
I still loved the episode but it felt more like the novel with no player character needed at all
Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about "MC must be the center of the universe", not at all, and deuteragonists ARE cool characters (Watson my guy), but in this particular episode I felt it was somewhat OOC of MC because of their role in this whole situation, and I say this as someone viewing MC as their own character, not self-insert.
There was no monologue about MC's feelings, just in passing like a quick thought, they haven't participated in the discussion much, they were too silent, and their role in this chapter was just to nod at someone else's words.
I also found it strange that there wasn't even the option to hold onto Naomi when all of them were freed as to comfort her or move her away, that's quite the logical thing to do for someone in their field (not to say an adult who took a duty of protecting the child, which was explicitly stated earlier in this chapter) — to make sure the child wouldn't look even more at the gruesome sight of death
Other than that the 3d chapter was amazing. I loved build-up to the climax of the chapter, I loved how everyone interacted with eachother, their relationships and deteriorating state of mind was immaculately written. And of course voice actors deserve their own post full of praises, really
Thank you for the feast! (the irony)
Woaah, that's a lot of thoughts! First of all, I want to say that many of the things you didn't like will only make sense once the entire game is out. As they say, it's hard to judge an unfinished story. That said, I completely understand why some moments might have felt confusing to you! ^^
The only thing I can really say is... keep following the story and pay VERY close attention if you want to understand the story.
Also, you sure this is actually out of character for the MC? How much deduction have they used in previous chapters? Have they really been taking an active role and initiating all of the discussions? I’d recommend replaying the first two chapters to refresh your memory, because things are faaaar more complicated than they seem muhehe! 😉
It's okay, I completely understand! MtG still has a long journey ahead of it, along with plenty of answers to many of the questions people have. I'd love to reveal all my cards and explain everything right here and now, but where's the fun in that? So for now, I'll stick to my terrifyingly slow-slooooooow buuuurn 😈
