Played the demo will change review on full release and I have to say even though I fucked with the aesthetic before I do like the cinematography and trippy nature of what they changed,

gameplay is a lot better and less annoying, its not just minigames that take forever. its more traditional turn based with a card system which I am glad indie rpg devs are not being scared of turn based.

I can't really say much for the story its pretty similar with some new stuff that may hint at things getting better,

but if you played til the end of the factory in the previous version and didn't like the dialogue there I doubt you will like it here. its still about the missing person which the original was criticized, and personally I wonder why they didn't just make a sequel or a new game with similar vibes and aesthetic.

because the game doesn't hide the fact it is still about a real life missing woman and a romanticized relationship between the protag and the same woman, maybe I.V is wanting to criticize the characters and specifically the main character and his immaturity but again ill have to see

the new music kicks ass though

and I like the bleed mechanic
