Well, I was planning on having a grand return to my Obscure Games Recommendation List with this game here but... well.
Firstly I want to thank STRM for recommending me the game, and I also want to apologize because I didn't really feel like putting a lot of time into this one.
For the record, I'm not giving a rating simply because I haven't finished or played enough of the game to feel like I deserve to, but I'll sum up my thoughts like this.
While I think the premise of the game has merit, I think the way it goes about it is just not very interesting. Usually with games with time travel mechanics or plots you wind up visiting multiple different eras or different parts of time to uncover the grand mystery but I find that this game's more Groundhog Day style just didn't appeal to me.
I'll be completely upfront though, I have been struggling with an ongoing depressive episode since I finished Tsukihime and started taking new medication and I am 100% certain that that has impacted my ability to fully take in this game.
The voice acting is fine, though some characters sound boring at time, the dialogue trees remind me too much of the more mediocre Bethesda titles (this game isn't by Bethesda for the record, but the dialogue seems similar at points), and honestly the setting itself just wasn't interesting to me after the first timeloop.
I don't even like the timeloop mechanic because you have to actively run there every single time you end a specific timeline and it just feels like padding to me.
I'm sure this game has an audience, and I want to be in that audience but in my current headspace I don't think I can honestly bother to finish this so I'm shelving it for the time being.
Give it a shot yourself I'd say, you'll probably see something I do not.
