A little bit disappointed with this game I excepted it to be way different when it was launched. The hype was overwhelming and I feel like the game didn't reach the standards that people say it did. You are basically in a school for the most part of the game meeting weird kids (main character is weird too) and questionable adults. The whole adventure isn't all that great even if it's meant to be like that.

The main protagonist is not that cool neither is her friend Chloe. A lot of drama inducing plot with no real meaning to it. Very predictable storyline you can technically guess almost immediately who's the corrupted and the bad person. You have to have extreme amount patience while playing because the gameplay is so slow it will almost feel like a drag and has the generic point and click type of playing like the company Telltale is known for with not that good of a choice system.

Little bit overrated and tedious but if you have patience to complete it you might feel satisfied with some of the aspects of the title. Some of the conversations can be interesting even though it's just like average teenage high school and "friendship" story that isn't necessarily told so well. If you are into these type of walking games however I definitely recommend TWD if you enjoyed this. I just wish it was a little bit more creative.

When you make role playing games it's vital to have something to keep you invested but here it doesn't even exists other than just go from point A to point B to point C and then to point D rinse and repeat for the entire journey. The writing feels extremely feminists and misandrists for the most part and I can already tell that the other titles are very likely that way too with how much female propaganda is portrayed in this. Chemistry between the main characters is not very compelling or captivating it's forgettable in my opinion.

Fine even a great game with lots of potential but if you haven't played it you are not missing out on much. Play rather The Dark Anthology Pictures series, Mass Effect, Witcher, Deus Ex, Dragon Age, Fallout, Skyrim and David Cage games all way better and deeper RPG's with a lot more exciting gameplay, combat and better dialogue. But for an indie studio with a limited and a tight budget it was a good shot and a fair attempt. Nice enough.

7/10.
