Funnily enough, I do think this game has unironically aged very well. It becomes more clear as time passes that a lot of the things people were complaining about were very obviously intentionally provocative (Poe's Law hit this game hard, unfortunately), but I still think the writing is a bit inconsistent and arguably unfinished, and the presentation is extremely unpolished and quite often bad. AND the combat system is tedious as all hell. Judging from the recent I.V livestream, it looks like a lot of the problems I had with my initial playthrough (I've played through the original game myself and watched the Oney playthrough of 1.25v) so I'll likely give this game one more playthrough once I.V releases to see just how different a "final" version of this game looks. For as many problems as I have with it, the Allanson bros are two people I generally admire, and I hope that, if this game never really works out even with the upcoming remake update, that they get to make their masterpiece on another day. They definitely have it in them, they just need more experience.
