Well this was a huge dissapointment. There were many things i strongly disliked about the game.
First of all, the voice acting which is just terrible, and one of the first thing you’ll have to learn to live with if you’re truly willing to finish this game. Surprisingly, i feel like the children’s voice acting are actually the best of the whole cast.
Second and probably most important: Many chapters feel like i’m just suddenly playing a whole different game. The excuse of schizophrenia/fractionary subjectivity (depending on your psichological theory of choice) feels at this point as a poor excuse for tying up different unfinished projects of games, and in a completely messed up way. And if they were going for a surprise effect, it doesn’t really work in a good way either.
Third, mechanics are kinda lame. It’s not really that bad of a flaw, i would have probably ignored it, if it wasn’t for the other ones. When you’re rating negatively, every flaw counts, sadly.
Fourth, and SPOILER ALERT: the ending, guys, all of this for a lazy variation of the “it was all a dream” trope? Dissapointed is not enough by this point.
It’s kinda sad because it’s pretty obvious how ambitious this project was. And actually the first two chapters are pretty ok, the game is still promising by the end of the second chapter, but after that, with a few exceptions (some moments of chapter 4) it’s all downhill to me.
