There are some very big issues with this game on a technical standpoint. I love the story and a few of the characters have become favorites of mine, but the "open world" aspect has some major issues. For example, I went to spend a day with Fraype but he started talking as if I was with them the night before, when I was with Tsitsi. I love the idea of the game being open world, but you don't seem to get many options. Most nights I would only have the choice of spending a day with 1 or 2 people/groups. Not only is the whole selling point flawed, but the game itself is very buggy and feels unfinished. I have yet to try out the Novel Mode but the idea of bad endings being removed there is annoying. It no longer feels like there are stakes. I'm very critical on the issues because I believe the story is fantastic and that its being hindered by the major issues the game has. The characters are all appealing and fleshed out from what I've played, and I've commonly ignored a lot of the bugs because I wanted to keep reading. It might just be from focusing on like 3 different characters at once, but my playthrough has some major plot holes. I'd recommend playing this game, but probably do it in Novel Mode and give the normal game a shot after.
