I LOVED playing this game so much!!! I love playing mystery visual novels in general, and this one definitely piqued my interest. I like how intense the plot is and how each cast member interacts with one another. The voice acting is so good!!! I also liked the design diversity in the cast. I'm so excited for the next chapters!!!
The plot's mystery excites me too! Why are the items so randomized? (aka, why some items are connected to who they're given to and why some items aren't connected at all.) Why does the doll we found HIGHKEY have a similar clothing pattern and color palette to Deuce? How were we kidnapped? Why was Deuce missing his item? Did someone steal it? Why was Vir conscious enough during the gas scene in chapter two to tell us everything he told us? Why is our wallet with our ID missing? Did Vir take it? And if so, why? Why was Vir given nothing? Why was there an extra token during the search scene? Why were we smacked during the last chapter? Who or what did it? WHO IS THE MYSTERY PERSON ON THE TV, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHERE IS THIS TRAIN GOING????
Oh, and by the way, to share, AKA yap, I ranked/reviewed each character and how much I would actually trust them.!!
I honestly disliked Deuce a LOT during the first chapter, but I grew fond of him during the second. He's definitely untrustworthy, though. And I feel like the doll scene in chapter two is a metaphor. Maybe I'm overthinking things? lol. From his clothing (scarf and purple color palette) to how the doll's mouth was sewn shut, I think that Deuce has some sort of split personality or some kind of drug/device/medication or condition that literally makes it impossible/very unlikely for him to speak up about any information he has. We know he has a bad memory (from the inspection scene), it isn't off the table that he's hiding something/knows something, but just can't remember or realize it.
I love Felicia's energy, but I feel like she's slowing down the group with her excessiveness (personality in general). Her actions are almost, if not all of them, dictated by her emotions. No offense, of course! Just my personal opinion. I do find it funny that her perfume is STILL staying on LOL. (Also...doomed Saphira x Felicia yuri? ( 0 //// 0 ) )
Leonel is definitely one of the, if not the funniest character/s in the game! I loved the scene where he walks past MC during the search in cabin 2 and slapped their ass, only for them to steal their cigarettes. Although he IS uncooperative...
Saphira is the BEST. As in, the most reliable and reasonable character we have in the game. I loved how she stayed rational and logical all throughout the chapters (and even how she softened a bit for Felicia during the first cabin search scene...ik who you are...). She definitely deserves to be a leader! I'm curious about her scars though...
Stefan is more on the neutral side for me, loyal, honest, and helpful. But I find it suspicious/interesting how often he resorts to physicality (he's justified, though!).
Verity is one of the kindest characters in-game. I like how she often diffuses fights and is always willing to help, and, in general, just how sweet she is! I love her design too! It's so flowy and cute!
Naomi is my daughter. I like how we bond with Naomi, how helpful, logical, and calm she is, especially for a child! I also love her relationship/dynamic with Vir. Both are calm, often isolated, and quiet. They have moments of silent understanding throughout the chapters, and it's so exciting to see what she'll do in future chapters, especially with her two trust tokens!!!
Vir is the most interesting character in the game. Not just for his ideals, but for his predicament/situation. As in, not getting a trust token, not getting an item besides that mysterious note ('Don't trust anyone/anybody. Especially yourself'), being isolated most of the time, and how he remained conscious enough in the gas scene to have an entire conversation with MC?. I do think that he's also one of the more capable people in the group, from the way he was able to figure out the doll's mechanism in chapter two and his logic in general. Although there's no doubt that he's also one of the least trustworthy characters. No need to explain.
Sorry...I yap a lot. (T //// T ) But that's only because I enjoyed the game sm!!! 10/10, I'm so excited for chapter 3 and the future continuations!!!
