![]() ![]() This may be my new favourite game of the year so far. The first episode was a great introduction, despite the fact the writing feels like it's coming from a 30-year-old who has no idea how teens talk these days. Just played through the second episode now and it's taken me nearly four hours to finish. Why, you ask? Choices. I was mainly doing it to go through the different kind of dialogue outcomes, but then (SPOILER) It's all such bloody drama, but I love it. The choices feel like they matter more with the power to reverse time. And Chloe (SPOILER) |

Going through this game vicariously through an LP because I don't think I'd have the patience to go through all the effort myself
Episode 2 felt like a misstep in terms of pacing and subject matter. The arc tackling suicide was pretty incredible, but spending an inordinate amount of time with Chloe affirming that yes, Max has time powers, was a bit wasteful. From a gameplay design standpoint I get that it was an exercise in opening the player's mind as to the manipulation of space as well as time, but It was just poorly paced and irrelevant to the overarching plot. Episode 3 had great swerves, though. A bit predictable given the significance of ZOMG YEARS OF TIME TRAVEL compared to the relative baby steps taken before that, but great cliffhanger to work off. I like angsty!punkrock!Chloe a little more, though, sue me ![]() ed: Also, the dialogue can be really fuckin' stupid. I don't know anyone who unironically uses the words "hella", "beeyatch" or whatever anymore, unless the game was set in the early 2000s ![]() ![]()

I noticed that they put a new Episode out on Steam. Sounds like a hoot!

It honestly got a lot better (not that it wasn't already) with this one. There's still more questions than answers, but it made you realise that every choice and dialogue option you make is so critical. It doesn't stop what happens at the end, but it's all going to come back to you in the last episode as it should do.
I'm also going to see if I can get my stream up on YouTube in parts, so you can see what kind of game I've made. ![]() |

^ The fourth episode is the longest yet. I suppose it depends on your play style and such, but it took me 3 hours and 50 minutes to get through it. The whole thing is a huge mindfuck overall and it's definitely in my top five games of this year, probably claiming the top spot (not that there's been many games capturing my attention, mind).
