I've really wanted to download and play this game for a very long time; but the download location wouldn't let me for quite a while -file was unavailable or some such.
So when I finally succeeded in downloading and started playing, I was anxious to explore the story and the decisions I might make along the way.
I wanted to like this game, I really did. But ultimately, I just couldn't.
And in short, this is why:
MC is far too apologetic for my kind of roleplaying / immersion; and the path with Emily seems fixed somehow -whenever I'd like my MC to tell her off or some such, I'm funneled back onto the loveydovey path for Emily. For a character with anger management issues he keeps apologising for every little infraction -even the ones he did not cause.
I would have liked the option to tell some NPC's under certain conditions to simply feck off. Aside from a possibly bad first impression you might have with Emily, I haven't come across a single vertebrae for any kind of backbone for the MC. Even if my initial choice was to be rude to Emily, the guy decided to apologise to her the very same evening. And after that it just devolved into one big mea culpa.
I tried to keep on playing, to find some redeeming quality, but after Episode 4 was concluded I simply quit to desktop. My suspension of disbelief has been seriously crippled and the illusion that choices matter quickly dissolved -especially when my choices are reduced to simply clicking the only single response on my screen.
The art is very nice as is the original premise and setting -and I really like Samantha as an NPC. Music is also a great asset. But it just doesn't work for me; the shallowness of the MC (horney and misogynistic on one hand, and the distinct lack of a spine combined with an overabundance of apologies on the other) disrupts any type of immersion and personal investment.
When I would've liked the MC to back off or tone down his horney conduct, there usuallly was no choice to be made whatsoever -or only one single option to proceed with the story, when I'd considered he'd simply taken things a bit too far.
Notwithstanding, I still applaud your hard work, dedication and skills to create this game and share it with a community of players,
I guess, that in the end, it's just not my cup of tea.
