This seems like a pretty split game; most people are either in the camp that it's fantastic and an example of some of the most emotionally investing writing in the medium, some think it's really boring and un-noteworthy. Me, I think it's just ok. It nails the aesthetic that it's going for, even if the UI looks like the steam re-releases of Final Fantasy games, and the score is really good. Other than that, ehhhh, A for effort I guess.

The first act draaaags; the gameplay is really tedious, which is fine inherently, but it's before the story picks up enough to justify it. The second act starts getting better, and tbh I wish there was more time spent outside of John's memories. The third act starts getting crazy, and I kinda love it. The whole zombie part makes no sense at all, but I'm here for it, and it was a missed opportunity for the game to play more with Eva and Neil's abilities to mess with each other through John's memories.

I think what ultimately makes me not care about this game is that it starts presenting interesting decisions about what to do with John's fate once they reach the beginning of his memory, but doesn't do enough with it. Which is a shame, Eva and Neil's personalities are both so bold and diametrically opposed that the little we do get is super interesting, but it's short lived and kinda throws it all away for a happy ending that I just couldn't stay invested in.
