I was very surprised by this game, After being fairly mid on the first two games I found myself really liking this game. Its focus more on the resource element and not the dating mechanic made me enjoy it way more. The game being less obtuse on what you need to get to the various endings also made it very enjoyable. I also found the writing to be the best of the three, while not always good it had the most enjoyable writing. I do wish it had more locations and the hitchhikers were a little less random ( I regret getting the player character as hitchhikers dlc pack since they are all I get now) but honestly not a huge issue. That is where I would end the review and give this game a 4 out of 5 but then I got to the End of the Road update stuff. I do not want to spoil anything that happens in it so I will just say while I saw the media do what it did better the way it happens and the way it took me totally off guard made it an amazing experience. The fact that these are characters by now you have grown close too makes the emotional stakes actually hurt a little. Of all games I did not expect the monster prom series to make me feel so sad and depressed, and for that I have to applaud the game and the people that created it. I am very curious on how MP4 is going to be now that this was such a turn in direction (in a positive way)
