quick warning! when you meet bugslav, give him the med kit! otherwise the game breaks! i lost like 3 hours of my life!!!

vibes are immaculate. love the vhs feel and the music and the character designs. the slowly unfurling backstory is so good. if you watched the trailer and thought "wow this looks sick," and ESPECIALLY if you're a fan of the fixed camera angles and puzzle solving aspcects of resident evil 1, then i think you'll have a great time with this.

super excited to see what happens in part 2!!!

only a few episodes are out so far, but here are my early thoughts:

"oh wow, you slept through that whole exciting event last night? you missed so much! you gotta hear about all this drama [GIVE US MONEY]"

it's the same shit. this game's means of making a profit are in direct opposition with its attempt at making an engaging story. it can't even get "show don't tell" right because the company needs another opportunity to get you to give them a couple more bucks. i wish they would just charge a flat amount to buy the game and be done with it so their writers could write something interesting. but then, i'm sure they're making much more off of FOMO so why would they ever do that, right?

i've seen what this team can do. season 2 is such a genuinely great visual novel. seasons 1, 3 and 4 were fun too. and it's so sad to see this company fall deeper and deeper into greed with every new season

also do we really need another cartoon villain in our silly dating game... fuck jin
