Great concept, poor execution.
It’s a great concept for a point and click adventure game, but unfortunately, it isn’t and as such, it just isn’t very good. It’s too slow and boring to be entertaining with lots of walking back and forth and conversations where the choices really don’t matter. The high level of American slang and culture isn’t always relevant and although the subject matter varies considerably, none of it is truly engrossing. The flow of the conversations and the voice acting is great, but without a solid game or an interesting story to back it up, it all feels a bit pointless and a bit of a waste. The mini-games, graphics and artwork are ok, but I expected the game to look better with less glitches and Hell to feel more alive and intense, especially the bars which are supposed to be having raging parties. It feels as though content was cut and although it encourages multiple playthroughs, it would have been better with a more traditional format and more depth.
