So, I've played all the chapters (so far, that is - through #8) - and I just kind of... jotted down little thoughts, notes, and comments as I went along. Thought I'd share them. If my "reviews" feel more like "stream of consciousness drivel", that'd be why!
I choose to be a male, masc., mid-30s, average height, messy disaster. Started off pretty mean and/or stand-offish with Flea, and then slowly moved toward being more earnest as the chapters went on. By chapter 6 or 7 I was a simp. So, not sure what I might have missed out on by not playing consistently all the way through.
Oh, and for any of you not-yet-played-but-reading-the-comments-anyway types, there are definitely spoilers in here. Look away!
Chapter 1:
LOVE the cover art. All those spiked teeth and violet eyes - awesome.
Tabby! Yay, I have a cat!! Well... kinda.
I feel bad making Ted worry about me so much. Like I wanted to start tidying up my messy house real quick just to make him feel better; pretend I've just been busy lately and that's why it's so bad.
Love the design of the fiend - white skin, red cracks that flow, spiky-thorned bald head. Sounds like a more awesome Pinhead. Plus, its little shimmer-twang dimension shifting sounds cool.
I had to laugh at how my car is a total heap with bad suspension, yet I'm like, "My upholstery!! 😨"
The Chapter 1 ending really makes me want to go right to Chapter 2 to see how this deal shakes out.
Favourite lines:
"...which might, if he's lucky, be rainwater."
and:
"yeah, sure - knowledge. Nerd."
(Guilty.)
