I tried hard to give this a fair chance, but this game has way too many flaws to ignore. It is written so, so poorly.
The plot feels like it is on the back burner more than half the time and is outright ignored for furthering the relationship between the two characters, who absolutely do not act as if they are in a serious, life or death situation at any point. It feels as if they are out of place within their own story, not even they seem to grasp what is going on at any moment, or have any awareness of the danger that seems to be just around the corner. There is no suspense, and there is not what I would call "a heartfelt moment" until the very end of chapter 2.
The art style is somewhat interesting, but is also sort of really awkward and bothered me at times; there is a quality to it that I just can not place that always feels vaguely off and is somewhat uncomfortable as a result.
The "ermm she's right behind me, isn't she?" humor mixed with the "dank memes lmao" feels like it's dated itself for a time it isn't even from, especially since the plot seems to take place within the last five years.
I think the concept of this game could be interesting, but none of the interesting aspects are explored further. If the writer could step away from the dismissive, overly lighthearted tone to actually write this game's plot and dialogue, it would greatly benefit. I do not need an full length novel, I want... anything to chew on. Everything is handed to you so straight, it is hard for me to not feel bored whilst playing through this game.
I wanted to like this game and push through it, I've completed everything there is to do currently and plan to play it to completion to further develop my views, but I was just not a fan and it is hard to see myself ever enjoying this game. I will try to return to this with an open mind, but as of now, this is just a mess.
