this game burnt the fuck out of me and i can never play it again because of that. i hate how the season pass makes you feel forced to play everyday if you have it otherwise you wasted your money (or your friends money in my case), i hate how i did candle runs for 4 months straight like that was ever a good idea (this was like a year BEFORE the candle update btw), i hate how the new ui ruined instruments in this game for a good while

the game is gorgeous and if you have other friends to play it with its nice but absolutely do not play this daily and do not buy the season pass everytime. miss an event. skip an entire season. i have over 300 candles in this game and i never want to play it again

i watched manlybadasshero play it bc of course i did. if i can be honest? the game's surprisingly hilarious. the two main characters are interesting. the toxic relationship is like a car crash, i can't look away. i enjoyed it alot but while watching i was always worried bc this game walks a tight fucking line into being about incest

the developer apparently said they didn't intend for it to be that way and that ashley is only possessive of andrew due to her insecurities and issues with neglect (which you can choose to believe or not because literally one of the first conversations they have is them talking about how romantic it'd be if they fell off the balcony together and died). but they also said that the continuation might include incest anyway? and i've heard they've written it before as an ending for something else?? the creator at least seems extremely... passive about incest in fiction, so i have extremely low hopes. whether or not the next episodes will include it will shape how i feel, but for now i can only rate episode 1 alone

the story/world itself is kinda interesting. its not expanded on much currently but i'm sure it will in the next episode when its out. the first episode is very much focused on the two siblings trying to escape and thats fine because their dialogue is funny as hell. i've never really seen a toxic relationship between siblings done before. i can't speak on whether the game is accurate to how siblings talk bc personally the weird incest undertones threw me the fuck off, but there were a lot of comments saying that its accurate on the lets play i watched

i was originally gonna give it 4 stars but i feel uncomfortable rating it that high tbh. im not going to recommend it purely because im a normal person who thinks incest is fucking disgusting, implied or explicit. but im not gonna pretend like i didn't enjoy this so far either

watched someone play the prologue and i have no idea how anyone decided to keep playing after that. the main character has the dumbest name imaginable and is so annoying like thank you kokohead for telling me that the train must work on its own right after the announcer said it was automated. the weird death god is annoying too and ofc theyre sexualised. i'd ask why they call the protag 'master' but i think we all know why. the dialogue genuinely makes me want to tear my hair out, its embarrassingly awful even when compared to danganronpa standards. 3d animation never worked for udg idk why they made another game in this style bc it looks so fucking ugly. the gameplay is literally just holding forward and selecting a few prompts sometimes

the prologue is so long that it just gets really boring (seriously why the fuck is it FIVE hours), aside from udg for obvious reasons i think this is already somehow my least favourite game this guy has made. from the reviews maybe the game gets good but when ur prologue is this shit i genuinely couldnt care less
