it's kinda entertaining, but i wouldn't say it was novel or even worth being a videogame, since all the choice system is really used for is like, intentionally and comedically forced cameo segments? lol.
something about it feels stripped back to be a viable product. like, from a director who loves these goofy old fmv adv games, you'd expect it to emulate them a little more in modern day, but static visual novels like 428 live up to that concept much more, despite being almost nothing alike those old games. and no, i'm not saying "kodaka plz direct 428 tier gaming," that game was lightning in a bottle. i'm just saying it's unfortunate what ideas might have been lost in development on this one, cause 2020 fmvgame sounds much more incredible than it is in this case.
