Another excellent slice of Purgatory, as usual leaving us with more questions than answers which draws us once again deeper into the mystery and lore of the greater story unfolding. Can't wait to see where it goes next!

A stunning sequel to Pitstop in Purgatory with a whole new story that could stand on its own, though I recommend playing the first game if you enjoy this one as it adds a lot more to the story and characters! I love the new features, and it's easy to see that this is really just the tip of the iceberg with so much more to follow as more content gets added later. Despite this only being the first act, there's a lot to enjoy and plenty of content already, with some exciting twists and turns in the plot.
Fans of Pitstop in Purgatory are likely to enjoy this fabulous new entry to the series, with all the attention to detail and little in-jokes that you've come to know and love from the creator. Newcomers to the franchise have an excellent introduction to the universe and story, too.
To say a bit more about the actual content, though:
POiP is a blend of point and click exploration and puzzle solving gameplay combined beautifully with choice based visual novel storytelling, where your decisions impact the story and characters as you go along. You're able to flavour the protagonist's personality, which changes some of her responses and how other characters speak to her in turn. There is only one romance route so far, but with more on the horizon it looks like we will have an excellent selection to choose from, and we are also able to pursue relationships and connections with multiple characters in a single playthrough, too, so we won't have to choose only one route per run through the game. The art is beautiful and unique in style, with strong personality in each of the characters. The music is also pleasant to listen to and adds a lot to the mood and atmosphere of the game, it's well written and fits the game beautifully. The writing is compelling, with a great balance between a serious and compelling story and the moments of humour throughout.
This review is getting a bit long now so I'll leave it with this - I look forward to seeing what comes next in the story as the game updates.
Spooktober 3rd Annual Visual Novel Jam by DevTalk community · Replied to Nai @ MakeVisualNovels in Questions & Answers
Hi,
Is there a minimum required length for submissions or minimum number of assets? Is a choice based storyline required or would a linear submission be acceptable? Would it potentially be acceptable for the game to contain a few mini stories rather than a single narrative? I have a vague idea of what I'd like to do but would like to plan a tiny bit ahead to organise if I need a team and what I might need to sort out before the start. Thanks!
Think you can survive a classic slasher scenario? This is a fun little game, a love letter to the horror genre, and well worth the short time it takes to play. Impressive to be made to such a swift deadline (pun intended) and within the other rules of the game jam.
Good luck to the Dev Team, I look forward to seeing our future projects!
