Oops I played them out of order! Oh well!
This is by far the clear weakest of the trilogy for me. Kinda wild to me that people prefer this over Lorelai or even Cat Lady. The story was insanely weak and felt poorly written in comparison to the others in the trilogy. I think the writing does a bad job of getting you to care about any characters or anything thats happening to them... besides Agnes. Agnes is my queen, I love her sm. I also don't really understand why we're telling the story of the mental turmoil of a woman (Ivy) through the eyes of a man (John) like, idk if its just the writing but it doesn't really work for me. It feels repetitive and like they have to smack John in the head with the same information over and over, never getting anywhere. And the reason's why John needs to take the actions that he does in the game feels so contrived and a bit cliche, just everything was so odd and not always in a cute way.
Idk, it was just so hard to feel attached to anybody in this one. Not bad by far, and the gameplay was still really fun for the point and click genre. But overall this game just doesn't work for me.
I will say though, I love the upped gore factor of this one, compared to the other ones in the trilogy??? Downfall was BRUTAL. And I loved it lol.
Also it would be irresponsible of me to not mention the VA in this game.... its not great. It's not great at all, even by the standards of their other games. I'm so sorry yall it was just so comically bad, I burst into laughter FREQUENTLY bc of the weird delivery of specifically John's lines.
