So the renders are obviously amazing. True S+ tier. That goes without saying but I feel the need to include it somewhere.
As for the game itself...the first chapter is excellent. The choices, the intensity of the emotions, the depth. Really hits on something dark, and alarming, and deeply sexy. And then....
The game just loses all that depth. If anything the game becomes even better looking, but the complexity of choices and scenarios dries up. The plot also becomes rather mindnumbing with characters retreading the exact same ground over and over with a predictable trajectory. It is a shame that such phenomenal 3D artistry is paired with 4/10 writing.
The whole feels like less than the sum of its parts. It teases you by sometimes resembling one of the best games on the site. But then it falters.
Worth playing for the renders. Worth forgetting for the writing and characters.
(Also that weird Halloween sequence in the car is probably the best thing in the game and it never comes back. Even the dev knows it since the girl from that scene is plastered all over the game's page and the homescreen. More missed potential.)
