live a live was extremely enjoyable when i was going through the 7 chapters that are on display. the distant future chapter and the near future were by far my favorites! but when it got to the secret 8th chapter, aka the middle ages, that's when my enjoyment started to fluctuate and my frustration waned. random encounters are perfectly fine in some cases! but the way live a live implements them and the amount of backtracking it expects you to do makes it extremely menial. the ending didnt shock me much or stand out to me seeing as how i did not have the patience to get the true ending unfortunately. still enjoyed my experience, but its a shame it faltered in the end (for me personally). still recommend!
