Wish it was more story and less walking around / exploring, but the his experience as a transmasc youth was surprisingly accurate (If you ignore one big thing obv, iykyk.)
Unique concept with a bland execution (like many other Puppet combo games.)
After loving this game due to only the characters, I played this game many times within the span of a month, so I think my opinion is fairly credible.
TLDR: This games heart is in the right place, but it gives you its message in a terrible way.
Road 96 is constantly either shoving its message down your throat, or hiding the message with comedic relief, with no in between (and it is even more jarring when you are playing, since the story is given to you in a random order.) Even if you ignored this, the message it is trying to give you is something most players have probably heard time and time before.
I think if Road 96 decided whether it wanted to be a quirky game with fun characters, or a serious one talking about the issues of this completely made up world, it would be perfect.
This review is really negative, I am hard on the game but I do love it a lot.
(And no, I'm not even going to mention the ending in this review. The ending literally lowered the rating by a full star. It was a mess.)
