Instantly encapsulating, regular updates, and some of the best characters of all time. There’s gravity to the situations, consequences to your choices, and a mystery constantly waiting in the wings.
I spent a good 15-20 hours on this last year (highly recommended to have the built-in walkthrough for the best experience) and I've been agonizingly waiting for enough updates to come through to play it again- and I genuinely mean that. Another Chance is in my Top 5 video games of all time, it's that good. I haven't even explored all possible paths through the gallery, but it is jaw-dropping just how expansive and brilliant this game is.
And that's the thing. Some VN's only have good writing, some have terrible art, some cheap out on the bonking bits, and some only do the bonking well while forgetting the characters entirely. Everything Another Chance does is 12/10 and set the bar to a standard that I've held every other VN to since.
Plus, Flora- my god, I've rarely ever met a VN character I've fallen in love with more. I can rank them all right now: Flora, Ruby (Young Again), Roxy (University of Problems), and the entire cast of Tropicali. Flora is on top of them all. She's the entire reason that TimeWizardStudios became the first dev I ever Patreon'd to. Laughing, crying, and, yes, obviously the other stuff, with Flora are cherished gaming memories I'll keep forever.
TL;DR? The stakes are high and the risks are higher- you won’t want to miss out on Another Chance, because from recapturing a moment I only thought the original Life is Strange would give me, to creating one of my favourite characters ever, it is quite possibly one of the only perfect games I've ever played.
