The story has received praise for its engaging plot, character development, and the meaningful impact of player choices, making each playthrough feel unique and immersive. However, many users express frustration over the episodic format, which leaves the narrative feeling incomplete and forces players to pay for subsequent parts, leading to concerns about the overall value and pacing of the story. Despite these criticisms, the writing quality and potential for a compelling narrative are highlighted, with hopes for future installments to deliver a more satisfying conclusion.
“The plot and the development of the characters is fantastic, and the choices truly matter which makes each moment feel intense and exciting.”
“The story flows smoothly and you can pick certain things to add to your character, and they all interact with each other super well.”
“Jim Dattilo does a fantastic job of writing a story that oozes passion and emotion.”
“The story as of right now has no real conclusion.”
“This however is a travesty; you get part of the entire story, a chunk of it that is very short, and leaves you in the position of having to buy the next part in the story if you want to continue.”
“It feels like the remaining parts are locked behind a paywall, and nominal fee or not, the developers are still holding the remaining parts of the story to ransom, with an attitude of pay up otherwise you don't get to continue the game through to its conclusion.”
