Users express concern that the "free to play" model offers only a limited glimpse of the story, which may be misleading. They suggest that providing the first episode for free when new episodes are released could enhance the experience and better showcase the game's narrative.
“Some people might find it misleading to see 'free to play' and only get a very small taste of the story and the game in general before playing it. It would be great to address this by adding Episode 1 for free when more episodes are released.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters or care about the outcome.”
“I was disappointed by the predictable plot twists and underdeveloped characters, which made the overall experience feel flat.”
