the game is incredible, at all times doubt everyone, I did not know who to believe so I got very paranoid and ended up shooting or letting everyone who crossed my path die haha I really enjoyed it, but there is only one thing that I did not like the ending I got was a bad one in which my clone killed me and everyone else, because I was bad, at least thatās how I understood it, I understand the reasoning behind this and that it is one of several endings. The problem is that now I know that if I am good I will live and if I do not die, I feel that the game is forcing my hand to follow the path of good, and forcing my hand is the opposite of what I want to feel in a game that let me make decisions, Thatās why at least for me, itās going to be a one-time game but hey, it was fun to play, I hope the author make another one in the future
Iām pretty sure the author isnāt a native English speaker. In many languages (e.g., much of eastern Europe and the Romanophone world), a quotation dash is the standard way to introduce dialogue, so it may have been not so much a stylistic choice as simply the way heās used to writing.
Bought the game but it gets really confusing after Act I, this is the first time Iāve seen a game like this and it feels rather railroaded than giving me any choice.
There are a few times that I feel the author has used the wrong words, but those are just minor things. (Manikin = Mannequin)
Thereās a part of the game, sort of like an interlude where you are told that your fate is in your own hands which coincidentally feels ironic given that I feel trapped to this path.
And to answer an earlier question made by @Sel_Lee, yes the dialogue remains the same. Meaning (-Hello.) over (āHello.ā) Iāve never seen this particular format of dialogue before so itās left me particularly bedazzled, but I can say that itās something that allās detracts my appetite to play/read this story, as some characters will lead into an enormous play of exposition. Text not spaced out and the like.
Iām not a professional, but this story isnāt quite for me.
Bruh even if you are good you die
For example going with the honour route
you are given the option to fight and even if you say you donāt wanna fight your clone will not hesitate to kill you so maybe this game is all about you have to break the rules to make the rules that kind of thing or in this case go against everything your character was trying to be
