Always Sometimes Monsters

The nice thing about the main character and their partner is you get to choose what race, gender, and gender of the partner you like best. So, for example, because I'm a gay guy I chose the main character as male and his partner as male too. That way the whole story was a gay romance. But it could easily be a heterosexual or lesbian romance too if you chose the appropriate characters. It was a great feeling to play a game with gay characters at the center of the story; you just don't see many games like this out there. The main goal of each day is to earn more money so you can continue your journey westward. You can take on some jobs to do that, you can steal money. The jobs are usually tedious points in the gameplay. Every so often the game will present a moral choice for you. If you take an immoral path, it helps you get money faster, or you can be moral, and pass up the opportunity. Some of the choices are pretty humourous because you would have to be a truly evil person to go through with some of them. The best part of the game is the story. I got excited to see if my character would make it to the west coast in time. I especially loved the scenes where the main character reminisces on how wonderful the romance used to be before everything went wrong. There is just a horrible feeling of despair whenever you come out of those memory scenes to the harsh cold reality that you don't have the romance anymore that I thought was well done.

the game looked unappealing to me at first but dammit! I enjoyed it.

I loved this so much! It's such a richly built world that's fun to explore, a complex story that's addictive and malleable to your choices! Not to be missed! But there are two things that confuse me. -------------- MAJOR SPOILERS -------------- On the final day, I objected to the wedding and he decided to marry me. But after being attacked by Sam and waking up, we go back to the scene from the beginning with the guy pointing the gun at the hooded person-who happens to be me! Who says that he rejected her and she wants to die now! But that DIDN'T happen! He didn't reject her! And after that we go back to the "real" ending when the couple go home, but he's tired so he went to rest and the door is locked, is that it? I don't know if it'll open again! Haha!

its another rpgmaker title so dont expect a lot of it, but the story is good and there a lot of moral decisions, if youa re like me and enjoy a good story over gameplay and graphics then youa re going to enjoy this title.
