the canon phantom liberty ending is such a good way to build on the V-johnny dynamic ... if they excised all the arasaka fluff from the main plot this would be just about as perfect as it can get. lots to say and i dont wanna say any of it for free on this platform ;—) i am however very excited to announce judy and i will be getting married and yes invitations ARE in the mail

impressed by the stark, self-consciously OMINOUS presentation here, and the writing is solid, genre-literate, & overheated in the right places. there are WAY worse noir stories out there tbqh. loretta herself is compelling and layered but everybody else is v v flat, which only rly works with margaret.
outside the narrative design (which is great, to be clear — especially love the moments where u can choose to do something irreversibly unhinged) this is kinda shitty as a videogame; like why can't i click to move around and why are the chapters broken up with halfhearted captcha minigames? for a game about a housewife there is basically no attempt made to simulate the mundane detail of loretta's existence. but these are relatively minor problems; the result of insecurity abt making a visual novel more than anything else
